Is everyone unphased by deploying federal special forces on unarmed citizens?

"Life comes at ya fast". This is from an ESPN radio broadcaster in Seattle:

Just to review, it took less than two months of rioting for this guy to realize the importance of 2A? Was the destroyed Starbucks close enough to home to make the light come on?

They aren't private contractors.

This makes far more sense. Why would any private contracting company publish their name on their operators uniforms? That seems like the exact opposite of OpSec.

6 weeks of rioting didn't do it. The Starbucks was in his apartment complex. That's how blind he was. He has another post saying he and his cat are out of there.

Is the opposite of OpSec OpUnsec, or non-OpSec? I'm starting to remember those OPSEC propaganda commercials on AFRTS, I'm surprised the opposite of OPSEC wasn't in one of those.

Really who is to say that anyone got " snatched " off the streets? Look at the people who have reported it. Whiney little *****es that want to dish crap out but cry like little kids when it doesn't go their way. Disobeying the law should have consequences.

I was never stationed where I got AFRTS, but I taught OPSEC, SAEDA, GENEVA CONVENTION and do not believe any bit of that was propaganda.

I wish the feds would start beating the **** out of these violent and armed antifa thugs. Actually I would love to see them shot but I doubt it will happen sadly.

"Unarmed protestors" that's cute

Private contractors hired by Homeland Security umbrella are arriving unasked for, and unwanted in American cities, which someone should point out didn't vote for Donald Trump.

It should also be pointed out, statements from Homeland Security say they are NOT required to check in with local authorities,
Are NOT required to identify themselves,
Are NOT required to have arrest warrants or probable cause,
And ARE allowed to take American citizens off the streets, hold them indefinitely.


In Portland or Seattle (didn't catch which) the MAYOR & STAFF trying to identify these people have been pepper sprayed and fired upon with rubber bullets.
There is quite a nice video of the mayor getting pepper sprayed and his staff members getting hit with rubber bullets...

When they won't identify themselves to the local law enforcement, local government, and the Mayor is fired upon when trying to find out exactly who/where they are from,
And they are snatching US citizens off the streets with no legal/constitutional rights being observed, it's pretty clear what's going on.
We'll just see how long it takes the slower US citizens to catch up with what's happening...

Thank you for inserting yourself in the questions I posed for the OP.

Just like the OP, I see a number of salacious claims about the federal agents in Portland, but little in the way of facts or evidence. Do you have anything that supports your claim that these federal agents are "Private contractors"?

Do you have a link for job openings?

and actual cases of indefinite detention. Let’s see proof and facts not conjecture and suspicions. Because I too am against gitmo like behavior. But I’m not getting my panties in a wad over a rumor.

That's about the mayor getting teargassed, which was known. It confirms about 1/2 of one line of JeepHammer's post.

Exactly why I asked for MORE information. This is stuff we already know.

Nothing about secret contractors or snatching people up.

Maybe I'm just a slower US citizen? A Trump voter?

Private contractors? Get a grip and lay off the conspiracy web sites. The Federal officers are just that, Federal officers from various agencies sent in to protect Federal property. These ANTIFA guys are terrorists, we need to understand that. They have publicly stated their intentions. The mayors and governors are actively supporting people who are committed to an armed overthrow of our system. They are not our friends and the sooner we understand that they are the actual enemy we spent 50 years guarding against, the better off we will be. They are not protesters,, they are and armed terrorists group waging a war against us, with help from some in the Democratic Party.

Basically Portland already has an army of mercenaries carrying on hit-and-run tactics with the citizens and local police for the last several months. It has escalated.

What is the proper course of action when the local and State government are unwilling to keep the peace, and as the phenomenon spreads to other cities/States.

It would be preferable if the Portland Police were allowed to deal with this, but the boy-mayor is not going to let that happen.

Are we really willing to stand back and allow destruction on an ever-increasing scale? Substitute Indy for Portland. Still okay with the pre-fed status quo?

The opposite of OPSEC is not observing OPSEC. No special name is needed...you're doing it wrong. I'm still getting those damn briefings.
