Off the street in Portland. Insane: “Federal law enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around downtown Portland and detain protesters since at least July 14. Personal accounts and multiple videos posted online show the officers driving up to people, detaining individuals with no explanation of why they are being arrested, and driving off. The tactic appears to be another escalation in federal force deployed on Portland city streets, as federal officials and President Donald Trump have said they plan to “quell” nightly protests outside the federal courthouse and Multnomah County Justice Center that have lasted for more than six weeks.” No probable cause. Officers don’t identify themselves. They don’t explain what the charge is. No record of the arrests is made and no paperwork is provided to those detained. People are detained for hours. Basically a kidnapping. Basically guys dressed in camo jump out of vans and grab anyone they want. Oregon’s governor doesn’t want them. Trump lickspittle and acting DHS Sec Chad Wolf has imported CBP people to people snatch.

Acting DHS sec Wolf posted pics of “what he saw in Portland” to justify feds from an unidentified agency seizing people without probable cause, throwing them into vans, and holding them without charges or any record.
It was graffiti.

Any federal officers participating in these snatches have a tenuous understanding of our constitution.

Video looks staged. No guns drawn. No one resisting arrest. No stopping the woman taking the video.
As Abraham Lincoln said, "Don't believe everything you read on the internet."

This was discussed on the news hour today and it sounds like this is for real. There is reporting of the federal government's involvement in the protests and there was a follow up with people snatched in this manner.
So... Maybe...

You didn't read the article I think. Multiple witnesses and accounts. Credible News Sources. OPR and WaPo. Mayor and governor say asking DHS Wolf to GTFO and take his goon squad with him. Wolf issuing lame justification. |

I mean they don't even deny it:
CBP Twitter: "CBP will continue to arrest the violent criminals that are destroying federal property & injuring our agents/officers in Portland. CBP will restore and maintain law & order"
Fucking Pinochet at least had the sense to deny kidnapping.
and . . . The Nation's Ken Klippenstein just published the Border Patrol's leaked internal memos on the Snatcher's activities. Badgeless unidentifiable ICE thugs deployed in undisclosed states for an indeterminate length of time grabbing people off the street and tossing them into unmarked vans

Lt. Gen. Russell Honore condemns the CBP's actions as "secret police bullshit" and says that "we need to prohibit police and federal agents from using military uniforms"
The US Attorney for Oregon wants to investigate CBP for "constitutionally questionable arrests in Portland by CBP officers.
how long til Barr fires this guy for putting the Constitution above Trump?

Another step closer to fascism. |

He should ditch the camo and put them in brown shirts for historical accuracy.

By the way, now we know who will be serving as the royal guard protecting the White House to keep Trump in office when he refuses to recognize the results of the elections and declare himself president-for-life.

Remember the Jade Helm 15 conspiracy theories? You know, Obama deploying federal troops to invade Texas which was called off when only after real Americans exposed the plan? |

This is a test run for election night. This is his strategy.
He is going to deploy these forces in the name of quelling civil unrest on election night, but only to Democrat cities in battleground states. The paramilitary forces will be placed around polling places in Democrat areas to intimidate voters and to pick fights with them. Who would want to go to a tear gassed polling place?
Am I crazy?
