Trump to send federal forces to more 'Democrat' cities
h/t Instapundit
[Rooters] President Donald Trump on Monday said he would send law enforcement to more U.S. cities, as a federal crackdown on anti-racism protests in Oregon with unmarked cars and unidentified forces angered people across the country.
for certain values of the term "people"
Trump, a Republican, cited New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore and Oakland, California, as places to send federal agents, noting the cities’ mayors were "liberal Democrats." Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot frequently blasts Trump on Twitter.
"Brains! I want brains!" quote Lori
State and local leaders in Oregon, as well as members of Congress, have called for Trump to remove Department of Homeland Security secret police forces from Portland, Oregon, after videos showed unidentified federal personnel rounding up people and whisking them away in black minivans.
Secret police bashing peaceful protesters on their heads - just fun & games: these heads are solid bone.

#1 The Dem mayors are whining and squealing about Trump sending in federal forces to quell riots, disturbances and threats to public order. It wouldn't be the first time federal forces were sent in to calm such areas and go after the trouble makers. I guess these mayors support the communist-inspired sedition, insurrection, arson, looting, and violence with little thought for the people who live in these areas.

#2 I agree its insurrection.
however, I'm not sure its is legal without the governor declaring an emergency.
Does anyone with actual information know?

#4 Remember when equipping federal police as well as the military was cool beans?

In fact, shutting down local law enforcement to be replaced by a federal law enforcement program was the plan.
