    I pay local taxes to help fund law enforcement among other things. I pay federal taxes to help run the nation. All of that is subservient (or should be) to the Constitution.

    Protestors are allowed to gather and protest. That is protected. If any of them are suspected of committing a crime they can be detained but not by unidentified law enforcement and thrown inside unmarked rented vehicles.

    Why does there need to be a button? Trump is responsible for federal deployment of entities like homeland security, ICE and all those other lovely post-Patriot Act institutions. Yes he's the president.

    They are under his branch of the government. He isn't pushing a button to stop them and he could. It's his responsibility.

    Awesome.

    How about this.

    1. How about they wear typical law enforcement attire with their badge name and id rather than wear a battle dress where they look like they are about to do a helo raid in Marjah Afghanistan.

    2. Identity who they are and Identify why they are detaining you before they kidnap you

    You know stuff that bootlickers and fascists don't do.

    We should be all outraged if Obama or any previous adminstration sent feds in full battle dress gear detaining protestors without identifying who they are or why they are being detained.

    That is illegal - people need to arm themselves against such illegal threats.

    May you get arrested walking the street somewhere by this illegal endeavor......see how quickly your butt puckers up and your thoughts change.

    People who will give up liberties for security, deserve neither.

    I'd imagine the outcry would be "this is why we have the 2nd amendment!" but yet we don't hear that now because it's "them damn liberal cities,they deserve it".

    They were outraged at Obama for the hypothetical chance that he would do it.

    Your going to have all these posts in this thread flung back in your face any time you worry the Biden Administration doesn't seem to give your rights full consideration.

    Protestor or Violent agitator? I can distinguish between the two. I'm no so sure you can or care to. The violence has been happening at night.....for going on 47 days, if I recall. By all accounts the daytime activity is peaceful. By SOME accounts the night's activities turn violent and appear to be a different group entirely. You seem content to allow the destruction and violence to continue on unchecked. As long as it doesn't happen to you..eh?...lol.

    I'm assuming the guy who had his feeling hurt and his beanie stretched over his eyes was there at night since I could only find this as video footage referring to unmarked vehicles: I didn't catch the part of the article that said if it was day or night.

    Not sure what the big deal is about unmarked cars.... Police have been using them forever. Why is that significant at all?

    You seem to forget that Antifa & MS-13 were designated as terrorist groups. If either of the two are suspected the rules are different. Yes it does suck, but let's not forget how we got there. This was not the case about 2 months ago. Let me finish your next sentence for you. "....it's Trump's fault". I would disagree. Something caused him to have to make that call. But taking responsibility is not something that's convenient. What the F was beanie due even protesting? Somehow the article didn't mention that. Isn't that the most important part.....lol.
