Trump Secret Army Forces Kidnap Protestors
The Secretary of Homeland Security justifies it by calling graffiti, "Violence"
Local News article states:
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.
When searching the Secretary's whole statement, the word “violent” is highlighted 76 times.
Yes, this is a violent stand-off alright! But it's being led by trump and his forces. This escalation in Portland is not the behaviour of a man prepared to “stand down" if he loses the election!
Yet, somehow, the mainstream media. assures us that trump’s aides worry he won't “fight hard” to win 2020, and that he's so upset by polls, he’ll drop out entirely!
Nobody in the media can link trump tactics in Portland to Assad in Syria?
Syria: The story of the conflict
Pro-democracy protests erupted in March 2011 in the southern city of Deraa after the arrest and torture of some teenagers who painted revolutionary slogans on a school wall. After security forces opened fire on demonstrators, killing several, more took to the streets.
The unrest triggered nationwide protests demanding President Assad's resignation. The government's use of force to crush the dissent merely hardened the protesters' resolve. By July 2011, hundreds of thousands were taking to the streets across the country.
Opposition supporters eventually began to take up arms, first to defend themselves and later to expel security forces from their local areas.
So:
Dictator commits heinous crimes, crushes peaceful protests with the overuse of violence, forcing protestors to defend themselves and when they do: well, now they're “violent insurgents.”
Russia (backing Assad) began an air campaign targeting "terrorists" in Syria a year later, but opposition activists say its strikes have mostly killed Western-backed rebels and civilians.
But Democratic senators respond by tweet:
Surely, surely, more can be done?
Otherwise, the playbook of Assad is set and there will be a wave of refugees, and like Syrians before them, Americans will be offered up to the mercy of the world…
Will Canada let refugees in… when America is swimming in coronavirus (because trump let it)?
UPDATE:
The Secretary admits the Federal forces acted without State input like an Occupying Force.
This is war.
