The Postal Service last month abruptly ordered its police officers to stop investigating mail theft that occurs away from post office property, the Postal Police Officers Association alleged Monday, suing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to block a change they say could erode the safety of mail carriers and delivery.

"The Postal Service’s sudden change is unwarranted, impermissible, and contrary to the language of the statute and also to collective bargaining promises it has made to the officers’ union," the association said in its lawsuit, filed in federal district court in Washington D.C.

Per the union, USPS implemented the change on Aug. 25, a day after DeJoy testified to Congress amid mounting concerns that policy changes he implemented were delaying mail service and could jeopardize record numbers of mail-in ballots expected in the presidential election.

Per the court filing, the USPS leader "declared that Postal Police Officers should no longer be assigned to investigate or prevent mail theft or protection of letter carriers" unless it occurred on Postal Service premises.

2. The extent to which tramp is devastating our nation is

[Midnight Writer]

3. Won't protect carriers on the street? This is fucked up.

It is not at all uncommon for mail carriers to be attacked on the job.

The threat of a Federal Criminal Charge is (was) a good deterrent.

[Lock him up.]

5. Yep. But to be charged, criminals must first get...

... arrested (what a concept).

Says the LAW 'n ORDER gang$ter Regime.

[CousinIT]

4. Heads up. This is in preparation for mailed ballot theft. So it can be carried out w/ impunity.

I can't be the only one who sees this?

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Yup, cuts right to the chase.

Clear as day.

[mjvpi]

10. That's how I feel. What other possible reason could there be? Could it be that brazen?

[people]

12. Prep for theft of mailed ballots

Agree 100%. 1st thing I thought of when I read this.

[diverdownjt]

14. Yes...I'm with you...it was my first thought.

This will make it legal to steal an election.



Gives their operatives a little legal coverage. This will embolden 1000's of magats
in county governments everywhere.

it's a fight to the death...let's make sure we live...................

7. Good God...they are now going to steal the mail-in ballots?

8. Perfectly obvious how Fascists operate

A short while ago, Steve Brannon was arrested on an anchored yacht in a harbor on the East Coast. The arresting agents were from the USCG and the USPS. I thought that most curious. I don’t think the CONservatives liked that kind of exercise of jurisdiction.
Post Master General Dejoy’s new directive suggests that if whole mailboxes are stolen, contents tampered with, or rendered unable to be forwarded on or before election night that that couldn’t be investigated by USPS officials because the offense did not occur “on” Post Office property.
I’ve never read anything to indicate if this is how Fascism works, or it could just be a new chapter in their playbook.
