Meh. I got a Sputnik shirt...

Right. And I was discussing with Ingomike and his premise of, "be free or go about their business". The feds aren't there to keep the peace. And just because agency A isn't enforcing some law, doesn't give the federal government the right to step in.
Agreed.
However, I see it as general chaos and rioting as opposed to an true insurrection.

I'm interested in how the local authorities are going to be able to live up to their end of the bargain, while defunding police. Portland has had a significant Antifa presence since 2016, the Feds pulling out are unlikely to make them go back to Twitter slacktivism.And the local LEOs sat and watched, though I doubt it was by choice.
I'm curious if the governor, mayor, etc will allow them to actually do something now.
I suppose CHAZ was just some random people saying, hey. This here police station is abandoned. Let's police ourselves and see how that works out?
The Trump administration has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to move special federal agents (dressed in full military combat gear) into specific states and cities to 'help' with the current protesting and violence issues. The problem is, they do not have to identify themselves when arresting people and can hold anyone without charges. They have also committed whats considered war crimes against American civilians by destroying medical equipment used to assist wounded or hurt protesters.

I don't think Sputnik killed millions of people for their political ideology.
It’s alarming to say the least. Hard to say what it could lead up to. Seems like a slippery slope though. Like you said, first it may silence rowdy protesters. Who’s next?
The riots aren't just general chaos. It's a means to an end. They're fighting for the revolution. Just ask them.
I’m just curious of the sentiment here. Maybe it’s posted elsewhere, if so please direct me.
Do you guys consent to deploying a special squad to “handle” some misdemeanor level crime (if crime at all) on unarmed citizens trying to protest?
You don’t have to agree with the protesting, but do you agree with the use of these tactics?
To me, this is a bit overreaching. I mean let’s say gun control starts being debated and there’s a threat of taking away guns. Does this not set precedence for the federal government to override states and deploy special forces against gun-rights activists?
This just seems very Orwellian to me.
Curious to your thoughts.
Now c’mon. Those were peaceful nails embedded in those fireworks. Probably got them from repurposing baby cribs, and puppy beds.
