The situation in Chicago is actually very different to Portland, the mayor there Lori Lightfoot, just completely failed in ensuring the safety of its citizens from crime, drive by shootings are becoming an epidemic, so Trump has launched an operation to asssist Chicago with agents to help with actual gang crime. This is different to Portland which is a known stronghold of leftist Antifa activists. So Portland got DHS torched in a swift operation. Chicago is different, Lightfoot of course hates Trump and doesn't want to be blitzed by DHS like Portland, but she has agreed that help from other law enforcement is welcome in Chicago. Because she can't handle the crime by herself for some reason. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could point out the badges, insignia, ID's or any other identifying marks on them? All I see is the word "Police" on their chests. That's a job for GroveHill to take on himself, and not deflect on others. Simply saying you don't see this stuff would be OK but a picture only shows a certain perspective.

She should care about the out of control black on black crime. The situation in Chicago is gang related. That in Portland is terrorist related. Unfortunately in Portland there are misguided left wingers that think they are joining a just cause. When everything is burnt down they'll regret not having their favorite coffee shops. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Enzian Posted July 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2020 This whole thing is an attempt at a revolution and an overturn. This is how revolutions start. It would take a long book to outline the background and how we got here and the dynamics of the present time. And the values and lack thereof of those active. It's a crucial year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightfoot makes clear why she is so incompetent and unable in stopping the violence in that letter. She makes clear where she's coming from in that all the problems "disproportionately affect" black people and then excuses the violence by reference to poverty. Typical leftist weak, pathetic old nonsense that hasn't worked and will never work. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did. The federal role was to provide back up to the state's efforts. NY get many unused hospital beds, a Navy hospital ship (largely unused), PPE, ventilators, personnel etc. He didn't hesitate and provided real time support. When supplies were limited he took action to find solutions. He indeed did everything possible at the time. He also shut down travel from China then other hot spots. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The burden of proof regarding the truthfulness of a claim lies with the one who makes the claim; if this burden is not met, then the claim is unfounded. You claimed that all the federal personnel were badged and wearing the ID of the unit they report to, so it's actually up to you to prove it. I already identified the source of the photo, it was from the Daily Telegraph, a UK newspaper. Here's a link to the video that has it as the still image that shows before you start playing the clip.

bendejo Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) I'm waiting for the frothing-at-the-mouth gun toting patriots to show up at one of these things, let's see how the Federal Troopers handle it. Will they still only abduct the demonstrators while letting the armed guys roam the streets at their will? That will make for some interesting op-ed pieces. But I'm not holding my breath, those open-carry guys are usually too cowardly to show up where there may actually be a confrontation. These Federal Troopers are getting to look more like Star Wars characters, but they are wearing desert camo. But the camo with "Police" patches mean nothing, anyone can buy that on the web.
