I'll link you some of dozens of articles from as far back as June as to how much the riots are costing us. Just think if that money would have been spent on actual programs to help those out you pretend to protect.

And there are more than that came from - your computer has something called a calculator in tools - add it up.
On the other hand, just think how many actual programs could have been funded if the CARES act didn't take such good care of millionaires and billionaires:

Imagine how many actual programs could have been funded if tax payer dollars weren't funding ILLEGALS.

Bet more cities will do this?

The trouble is, Trump and Putin are getting exactly what they want before the election. You know how this will be spun, right?
Imagine Louisiana governor order the arrest of US Marshals for enforcing federal court order for school desegregation in the 60s.

I don't know any communists and marxists, but I guess maybe that's what you call everyone who doesn't support Trump?

But they weren't arresting people after observing a crime, that's the problem the acting head of DHS said that they were making "proactive arrests"

pro·ac·tive
/prōˈaktiv/
adjective
(of a person, policy, or action) creating or controlling a situation by causing something to happen rather than responding to it after it has happened.

What authority do they or any LE agency have to detain or arrest people because they 'might' do something in the future?

Quote:
The point man for President Trump’s controversial crackdown on racial justice protests boasted that his agents “proactively” arrest suspects as the White House prepares to expand the operation to Chicago and elsewhere.

Chad Wolf, the acting Department of Homeland Security chief, claimed he has the right to clear protesters off the streets, whether there is evidence of any potential crimes or not.

“We are having to go out and proactively arrest individuals,” Wolf said during an interview on Fox News. “And we need to do that because we need to hold them accountable.”
