Philadelphia DA Promises to Criminally Charge Trump's DHS Troops if They 'Kidnap' Protesters

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner promised to criminally charge any federal agents who “unlawfully assault” or “kidnap” Black Lives Matter protesters in the City of Brotherly Lov

Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents operating under the direction of Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf have been accused of rounding up protesters and whisking them away in unmarked vans since at least July 12 in Portland, Oregon.

The self-styled “progressive prosecutor” made clear that his warning was meant to apply specifically to law enforcement keen to reprise the Portland method in Philadelphia. The DA’s office framed its broadside as a direct response to President Donald Trump‘s “verbiage claiming he may deploy federal law enforcement to American cities including Philadelphia.”

2. The governors of each state trageted

Need to inform chad wolf (lower cased to show displeasure) that any request from the FOP union boss asking for help has no power to order such.

8. why does that FOP president in Chicago still have a job?

Seriously. The mayor said "We don't need federal troops," then he wrote an open letter in defiance of the mayor asking for federal assistance. I don't understand why he still works there.
