Tracker Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Federal Prison Officers Brought in to Patrol D.C. Streets The Justice Department has sent special operations teams from the Bureau of Prisons to support the Trump administration’s response to protests in Washington, D.C. and Florida. In a statement to The Daily Beast, a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson confirmed that they had deployed Crisis Management Teams in response to the protests. The teams include Special Operations response teams, “which are highly trained tactical units capable of responding to prison disturbances, and providing assistance to other law enforcement agencies during emergencies.” Officers from the Bureau’s Disturbance Control Teams, which “specialize in crowd control scenarios,” have also been deployed. Speculation about the presence of special response teams from the agency grew online as residents and reporters noted the presence of law enforcement officials in tactical equipment placed around the city, many of whom refused to identify which agency they worked for. In one photo shared by MSNBC correspondent Garrett Haake, officers with shields labeled “corrections” and a shirt with an apparent Federal Bureau of Prisons Disturbance Control Team patch formed a perimeter preventing protesters from approaching the White House. Twitter users also noted officers wearing uniforms with logos for the Bureau of Prisons Special Operations Response Team station by the Washington Convention Center on K Street. “Per the request of the Attorney General, the BOP has dispatched teams to Miami, Florida, and Washington, D.C.” the Bureau said. https://www.thedailybeast.com/bureau-of-prisons-officers-brought-in-to-washington-dc-to-respond-to-george-floyd-protests (Another line crossed and America is well on its way to being a banana republic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 GOP senator horrifies readers with a new authoritarian call in the New York Times It’s a simple headline: “Send in the troops.” But its meaning is clear, and it’s deeply disturbing. That’s the title the New York Times gave to a new op-ed written by Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, one of the most militaristic and hawkish members of Congress. He had previously caused a stir this week by calling for the military to be unleashed on protesters with a “no quarter” order — meaning that they would take no prisoners and simply kill at will. Cotton later said he had been speaking metaphorically. https://www.alternet.org/2020/06/gop-senator-horrifies-readers-with-a-new-authoritarian-call-in-the-new-york-times/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 I’m a big guy. I have a buddy who is 6’1” and 350lbs. Not fat fat. Just big. Reminds me of trump in how he carries his weight. Trunk wears the baggy suits to hide it. When he’s in his right fold outfits you see how obsess he is. I’m sure he’s over 300. Does it matter? No but he’s lying about his health and a guy that self conscious and vain has issues. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Trump to Sean Spicer: ‘I’ve Done So Much for Religion’ During a 22-minute “interview” on Wednesday that started with Sean Spicer defending his former boss against charges of racism and ended with the president praising his former White House press secretary’s performance on Dancing With the Stars, Donald Trump addressed his awkward bible photo-op that followed police tear-gassing peaceful protesters earlier this week. Asked by Spicer what message he was trying to send with his church visit, Trump first said he did it because “somebody suggested it was a good idea” before insisting that “everything was handled really well” and that “religious leaders loved it.” When Spicer asked him if he’s “grown in his faith” during his time in office, the president said, “So I think maybe I have, from the standpoint that I see so much that I can do. I've done so much for religion.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-tells-sean-spicer-ive-done-so-much-for-religion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Republican Michigan Lawmaker Said He’d ‘Load Up a Few More Mags’ for Protesters Emily Elconin/Reuters A Republican Michigan state lawmaker threatened people in his district who protested police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s alleged murder. On May 30, Gary Eisen, a state representative who owns the concealed-carry education business Michigan Personal Protective Training, captioned a photo of gun magazines posted to his Facebook page: “I was at my shop this morning working, and an older guy came in. We started talking about the protesters and the riots... He said, ‘You know all those protesters are Liberals’ I said ‘how do you know that’ .... he said ‘Liberals look for trouble and civil unrest and Conservatives PREPARE for it’ hmm, so i thought maybe I will load up a few more mags…” Demonstrations organized by the local NAACP and Black Lives Matter chapters began two days later. He told the Port Huron Times-Herald he “just made a joke.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
