Source: Yahoo News
WASHINGTON A leaked Trump administration document details the federal law enforcement and military personnel squaring off against protestors in Washington, D.C., including a 1,300-strong force currently deployed to the south side of the White House.
An internal report obtained by Yahoo News shows which agencies are involved.
The 1,300-strong show of force outside the White House is a task force operation that includes U.S. Secret Service, National Guard, Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Park Police, according to the internal Department of Homeland Security report dated June 4. They arent the only ones in town: Border Patrol, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Transportation Security Administration, National Guard, Coast Guard, Federal Protective Service and more have been called in, says the document, which details DHS component deployments to Washington, D.C., and elsewhere around the country in response to protests over the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.
Thousands more from at least a dozen federal agencies or divisions have been deployed across the capitol region and to cities big and small across the U.S. where peaceful protests have been held or are expected.

(43,128 posts)to the Federal Government, admitting they were protecting federal property which is only right. But this is an overbearing, frightful way to do crowd control. The lack of transparency is alarming, and unnecessary.

And the protection of citizens, (protesting or not) should take the priority or the federal property means nothing for us. What good are a bunch of buildings and monuments held sacred to the ideals of the nation when they have been commandeered by Fascists?
Without humanity as the ultimate value of life, there is no point in political nostalgia other than to utilize it as a boot stomping a human face forever. It all becomes a tool of oppression and nullifies the meaning of the institutions this property represents and is meant to uphold under all circumstances with no exceptions whatsoever. Otherwise, we are at the Game Over screen.

(13,036 posts)God knows who else. He's got his own brownshirts now. They will come into a peaceful protest to agitate and use deadly force, as we've seen several days ago, so as to present protesters as terrorists, as he's labelled them. All to throw fresh meat to his rabid base and win reelection. Damn dangerous.

(722 posts)And it should be obvious to everyone by now:
These individuals are politically reliable shock troops loyal to the Leader (aka leibstandarte, schutzstaffel, sturmabteilung) organized and deployed by the Leader's loyalists who've been installed all over the federal government, especially in law enforcement and the judiciary. They've been sent to intimidate his opponents and so that they will be in place to act decisively with force when the moment is right.
There was no possible way Trump could get enough loyalists to do this job from any single agency and there is no way that any single agency would have sent only loyalists, even if one of Trump's lackeys at that agency ordered it. Doing it this way all Trump loyalists can work together, coordinate their actions, and wrap their actions in the legitimacy of agencies that, until recently, were loyal to the constitution, democracy, and the American people.
SO MAKE NO MISTAKE: THEY ARE COORDINATING.
They are all on the same team: Team Trump. Not Team America.
Those that feel they need to justify it to themselves are able to do so because they believe that Trump is America, up is down, and weakness is strength. But many of them do not need any justification whatsoever, they just want to get on with the killing.
Extremists throughout human history have never changed their core behavior: "winning" via the destruction of perceived enemies, at any cost, because the ends justify any means.

(31,893 posts)You may certainly be right about there being a "Team Trump" of vetted loyalists assembled from throughout the various military/armed forces.
It's certainly a sinking feeling...

(6,272 posts)are planning on attacking the Democratic governors and mayors, etc. that is the word on the ground in Trumpland. They are getting ready to start their civil war.
I just hope that they chicken out. But it is the plan.
And I even heard about these guys having infiltrated. Their plan is to seize control. And assassinate all the Democrats. And the people that I have heard this from are the sort that actually are capable of doing such things.
They have been waiting for this.

(722 posts)"If you start a war we're gonna end it."
This was one of the best equipped, trained, and prepared white nationalist militias in the entire country and he personally said this face to face with one of their leaders at the start of the siege. Even these guys eventually threw down their weapons and surrendered because they realized they had no chance whatsoever, and this was 35 years ago, only 3 years after the HRT was founded.
I find it difficult to believe that these kinds of people would stand idly by as Trump's white nationalists run amok.
No, I think Trump's time is just about up. He was an attack on our country, and we're starting to see our country fight back. It's a fight that has only just begun.

(430 posts)"our opinions" to the streets in front of the local offices and homes of the Republican Representatives and Senators and lobbyists who so far have not taken the time to be bothered by any of this yet have allowed this to happen, especially Mitch.
And while at that, don't forget the other WH occupant's places, where only the sun is supposed to shine and flowers grow and unicorns graze on lower class feed, like Barr, Mnuchin, Miller etc. Add to that those who profit from allowing this to continue, such as those who provide Social Media BS and MSM partisanship as those who help this continue only so they can profit from it but don't give a damn who gets hurt (unless it's one of their own).
Imagine protests outside the residences of the Faux propagandists or some of the intentionally blind pundits of MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, Comcast, Sinclair etc.
Let's see how they like THEIR world disrupted for a change.
Protesting at a "business" while ignoring the residence of the CEO, legal help and others who made the decisions is not using all your resources.
They'll need a whole lot more "protection" from those hypocrites who gladly are willing to bust American Heads in order to keep their jobs knowing when this is over, we'll all forget who they were.
Remember to take lots of videos and pictures of those who work against peaceful protesting so they can be remembered after January 2021
(And an aside to my six friends who were and probably are thoughtful enough to try to tell me what THEY think I mean instead of what "I" mean...hello!)

(12,265 posts)I can guarantee you that President Obama was in much more danger the 8 years he was in the White House than this rich, white moran in chief. It's easy to be "brave" when you have used tear gas against peaceful protesters and have your own private security force along with the secret service. I don't think I can make it until January.

(22,434 posts)snip>The Trump administrations deployment of hundreds of officers in military-style riot gear, sometimes without identifying insignia, has stirred tensions with demonstrators and concerns among watchdog groups and lawmakers about accountability.
Attorney General William Barr has sent hundreds of agents from the Justice Departments law-enforcement unitsthe U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the federal Bureau of Prisons, in particularto conduct crowd control and investigate crimes. Adding in thousands of National Guard troops from 10 states, plus local police, makes for a confusing combination. <
