yeah I think I already knew that, but I wasn't commenting on Wolf being a civilian but rather at his lack of experience for such an important job.

"The role that these private contractors are playing in current crowd-control efforts in Portland, and the role they will play going forward if Trump does expand the federal intervention to other cities across the nation, is best described as opaque — seemingly on purpose. The danger, however, is that Trump and his attorney general, William Barr, will expand this private contractor force in extending the reach of the federal response to recent civil rights protests — creating what is essentially a national paramilitary police force."

tRump and Barr are following Putin/Stalinist tactics in their attempt to stir up violence for the cameras so they can use the footage in campaign ads.

THIS is tRump's America.

Prince sold Academia back in 2009 or 10. You should really get your facts straight before throwing out more ******* references.

And I love how in this context we are calling contract security officers “private contractors”.

Do you guys ever get tired of your games.

If it was Trump's America, it would be happening everywhere. But they're only happening in liberal cesspools.

[quote=2sleepy;58733263]Maybe you can explain the authority that allows the head of DHS to order "proactive arrests" This whole fiasco is such a joke, I don't know how you can defend it.

Remember Tom Ridge, the first DHS secretary? Here's what he has to say about this fiasco:[/QUOTE

I agree with Mr Ridge. And don’t think many agents agree with all of this, just can’t say anything. DHS has revolving door S1 - only bootlickers now need apply.

But what is he thinking?

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf tweeted unauthorized photographs of federal courthouse in Oregon

Don't tell me what a brown shirt is. My parents grew up in that horrible regime.

lol I have no idea, I think the whole deal was just a setup for campaign ads so that doesn't really surprise me. Wolf strikes me as being very arrogant and assumes that he can do/say pretty much whatever he wants.

Did you read the article regarding this very ploy and all the money they spent on the ads. I’ll go find the story.

They were a armed police force. There some great documentaries about this sort of stuff. Google some. They're kind of fascinating. Many of them cover how the average German citizen ended up with the country that committed so many atrocities.

You could probably then define it even better then I have tried to. Its obscene that this has to be defined to people.
