Military Police Troops Put on Alert for Possible Deployment to Minnesota

[NickB79]

The Pentagon has ordered several hundred active-duty military police troops from Fort Bragg, N.C., to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota in the event that President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, according to a senior U.S. official.

The alert, which was described as precautionary, comes on top of a similar order issued recently to 1,500 infantry soldiers from the Army’s 11th Airborne Division in Alaska and as many as 200 Texas National Guard troops.

1. The Government needs cause. Minnesota is not doing anything wrong!!

The people are peacefully protesting!

Yes, it is loud!
Yes, they are irreverent to ICE!
Yes, they yell!
Yes, they follow ICE around!
Yes, they video record ICE!

All of that is their/our right!

They have zero cause to bring in active duty military.
There are not any riots!

De-fund ICE!

3. They have zero reason to be arresting 5 year old boys there,

But they're doing it. And shooting people.

This is going to go very badly.

4. I know, they are the criminals!!!

They don't follow our civil society laws and are hurting people horribly.

My niece keeps her daughter home from pre-school because ICE kept coming to pre-school.
Suburb of Mpls.

The cruelty is too much to take!

8. Well, that law

is a really big one, and has been for quite a long time......As I recall, the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld CABAL tried to get it overturned and failed miserably.......

9. Part of this...

...was brought to us by our good buddy W. He
kneecapped Posse Comitatus in 2006 allowing the president more power to deploy the military on US soil.

10. Everything that happened

during WBush's time in the White House, including the corruption of both the 2000 and 2004 elections, was the Cheney/Rumsfeld CABAL'S tyranny..........., W was merely a pawn or front man, his cocaine/alcohol fried brain was only good for going to his ranch and clearing brush........his malaprops, three word sentences, and mindless tossed salad banter were present the entire time he was in the White House........(and daddy HWBush was helping Cheney/Rumsfeld from the shadows during the entire 2000-2008 period). HW had experience from when he had orchestrated the entire Reagan years, and his own four year stint.
HW, in his first days as president, mopped up a bunch of loose details from he and others corrupt and felony mis-deeds during Reagan's occupation of the White House.......Reagan's dementia and pre-alzhimers was present far earlier than revealed.....
One of HW's first acts was to Pardon over 100 of Reagan's Top advisors and cabinet members that had been indicted and were awaiting trials.........Nixon's cover up was a one, on a scale of one to a million, compared to what the Republican's accomplished between 1980 and 1992......starting with the act of Treason, by HW, to throw the 1980 election to Reagan and HW.......
