Bill Barr's Secret Police:
I suppose this is the next step, after gassing peaceful demonstrators (engaged in a lawful assembly, as guaranteed by the First Amendment) so the "president" can have a photo op.
This is choice:
Horsepucky. When asked, they all give the same response, that they work for the DOJ. Tell me there's been no coaching. Of course, it's not inconceivable that Carvajal doesn't know what they were told -- this is a regime where no one knows what's going on.
Oh, and if you don't know what a Republican means by "law and order", you've been asleep for the last forty years.
Attorney General Bill Barr is defending his use of an unmarked, unidentified, black-clad heavily-armed paramilitary federal secret police force brandishing riot gear, on the streets of the nation’s capital. Apparently they have been deployed to, as he put it Sunday, “reestablish law and order.”
Many across DC have taken to social media, posting photos and video of these mysterious “soldiers” seemingly charged not with protecting the citizenry, but with protecting the federal government from the citizenry.
They wear no identifying labels: No one can see their name or rank, what agency they work for, what their job is, why they are there. They wear no badges. They just showed up and the Attorney General did not even ask the Mayor of Washington DC or anyone else if it was OK.
They are heavily armed, wear different uniforms, have most of their face covered, and refuse to say who they are.
When asked, they say they work for the Dept. of Justice.
I suppose this is the next step, after gassing peaceful demonstrators (engaged in a lawful assembly, as guaranteed by the First Amendment) so the "president" can have a photo op.
This is choice:
“Barr and Bureau of Prisons Director Michael Carvajal said at a Thursday press conference that the officers were from the Bureau of Prisons Special Operations Response Team (SORT),” Yahoo News reports.
“We normally operate within the confines of our institution and we don’t need to identify ourselves. Most of our identification is institution specific and probably wouldn’t mean a whole lot to people in D.C.,” Carvajal said.
“I probably should have done a better job of marking them nationally as the agency. Point is well taken. But I assure you that no one was specifically told in my knowledge not to identify themselves.”
Horsepucky. When asked, they all give the same response, that they work for the DOJ. Tell me there's been no coaching. Of course, it's not inconceivable that Carvajal doesn't know what they were told -- this is a regime where no one knows what's going on.
