    Police aren't supposed to be secret. There is a reason that "secret police" is actually a term that is used to describe authoritarian police forces. In the US, not only are you supposed to share your face, you are supposed to provide identification as a police officer that is individualized so that you can be identified. That is why they are supposed to have individual badges at all times. As a reminder, the same people backing masked police officers are banning members of the public for wearing masks, when members of the public have more right to hide their identity than law enforcement.

    Trump praised the troops for doing a great job. But they hadn't even arrived yet.


    Trump praises ‘great job’ by national guard in calming LA protests, as mayor says troops are not in the city – US politics live

    Did the state request this or more federal government over reach?

    Let them protest, but if they break the law they should be held accountable.

    Under our archaic system, it is the states that collect all employment taxes, including employee income tax, FICA, etc....and then the states transfer that money to the federal government. A legacy system dating back to the days of horse and buggy I believe. It would be interesting if a state ever decided to "cut off" the digital transfer of tax revenues? Guessing that would be construed as open rebellion?

    I understand and agree with your concern. However there is no law forbidding ICE or (as far as I know) any federal
    Offfocer from covering their face as long as they able to identify themselves and the agency they work for
    .it seems ice has been given leeway due to dealing with transnational gang members ( and no.. I’m not saying every person the arrest is a gang member). Considering that their jome addresses have been doxxed and give. Out public ally I can understand why ICE agents are hesitant to show their faces while arresting people.
    Do you agree on the following
    1. The men and women are doing their jobs
    2. Politicians need to turn down the heated rhetoric.

    So you are saying there was no violence and federal LE wasn’t attacked? or is it you confused over what she was saying? Seems you are fixated on something.

    I would love to see an accounting of ICE agents. 4 months ago we had a desperate shortage and needed thousands to man the border and our internment camps. Now, they are swarming immigrant neighborhoods in every state, every city. At the same time we are shuffling people all over the country and abducting people off the streets. Where did they all come from?

    No, I do not agree that they should have masks on. They are likely private contractors and not ICE agents with no more authority than I do in many cases.

    Meanwhile, for the 8-10 actual international gang members they have grabbed, let the ICE agents register with local police who can confirm their identity, as well as aid in obtaining their target. The United States does not need a Secret Police force.

    What law? Unless a federal crime is committed the FBI has no jurisdiction. The army can not deployed against its own citizens. Not sure about the national guard, but they are usually deployed for emergencies per the states requests.

    I'm saying that first; she (and the Trump Administration) are massive hypocrites by pretending to care about "federal LE being attacked" given that they pardoned thousands of people who literally attacked federal law enforcement, and many many others, in a riot that the then-President himself incited.

    Clearly, that is something they are willing to tolerate if it furthers their criminal aims.

    Second, perhaps you're just confused about this very obvious double standard. Or maybe you're just fixated on something?

    Third, our POTUS clearly seems to be quite confused about when these Guard troops actually arrived. Perhaps his inaccurate statements are part of what you mean by "politicians toning down the rhetoric"?

    Sigh
    Aren’t you the one promoting the idea that the Trump assignation attempt was staged and planned?
    Any proof they are private contractors or more just asinine ramblings?
    They aren’t secret police. It is an established force. As for registering with local LE pretty sure local LE refuses to work with or cooperate with ICE ( under orders from leading politicians) in many of these states.

    You didn’t mention a double standard. You just said KL was confused and then quoted her. She obviously was correct in her statement. Obviously wasn’t confused. Jan 6 has nothing to do with this.. yet here you are.. once again fixated on it… but but but Jan 6!!! Jan 6!!!

    Trump continues to violate the Constitution and MAGA fan boys cheer on his dictatorial actions. He is dying to manufacture some kind of unrest in order to claim martial law and suspend elections next year. He knows his goose is cooked in the mid terms and needs to act quickly. As far as protests go, or as far as California riots go, this one is no more than a block party, but Rump is going to make this molehill look like Mt. Everest.

    I'm confused by your response. This is about the National Guard being called up yet you mention the FBI and Army and then say you're not sure about the national guard. Doing a simple google search: the president can deploy the National Guard without the governor's consent under certain circumstances, primarily when federal authority is threatened or the state government is unable or unwilling to maintain order.This is enabled by specific provisions within the U.S. Code and the Insurrection Act

    Since either took 2 hours for the police to arrive when called, that would indicate the state government is 'unable or unwilling to maintain order'

    The Pendleton Marines are on high alert and standby ready. Please come out rioters, makes it easier to get more illegals and to punish those breaking the law, 20 years in federal prison seems about right.

    No, summer 2025 will not be a repeat of burn it down summer of 2020 played out without serious consequences. Law breakers will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. These are federal crimes being committed so bought and paid for mayors, DAs, and governor's opinions don't mean a rat's ass to the federal government.

    Democratic Communist politicians now have the open rebellion they have been calling for, a real rebellion unlike J6. Don't squeal like stuck pigs when it all blows up in your cowardly faces. Prove your metal, get out there and fight in your riotous rebellion. As Dirty Harry said, do you feel lucky punk, make my day.

    Lamestream media, the right arm of the Democratic Communist Party? Nobody gives a crap what they think either.
