Can the SWAT team put down and arrest an armed mob/unidentified secret police?

Can the SWAT team put down and arrest an armed mob/unidentified secret police?

That is what these unidentified secret police really are. Send in the SWAT team with their military vehicles and announce ‘put down your arms and lay down.’ Arrest them on the spot. Check out their credentials down at the station. Could be stolen or fake. Block their escape in their rented vans or shoot the tires if need be. Announce that anyone holding a weapon is now considered an aggressor.

Precedent? Texas State Police arrested some militia folks under similar conditions.

Standards for opening schools...

Start with; what would it take for all republican governors and high level GOPers to personally attend Trump's rallies and mingle?

They seem to be very reluctant to show up in person but perfectly ok with virtual video on the big screen away from the peons and peasantry.

How George Soros pays protesters - by check, personally signed

How George Soros pays protesters - by check, personally signed

A loyal Fox cultist sent this video to me.

"...got this from my cousin in Chicago…..I am not surprised. "

Conservatives will believe any lie, especially if it involves Soros.

And that it's no big deal to Trump. Ignore it and go play golf.

Black Lives Matter Too... That extra word "Too"

Black Lives Matter Too... That extra word "Too"

It should be used.

It completely obliterates the counter argument/point of "All Lives Matter" or "Blue Lives Matter".

It it inclusive of "All", not exclusive.

If someone counters with "All Lives Matter", the reply is: 'Yes! That is the point. Black Lives Matter Too.'
-----------------------------

On edit: Make that - "It could be used."

Absolutes are not good.

Some people are not willing to consider new ideas.

"All Lives Matter" could be co-opted to be a positive rather than a negative.

There doesn't seem to be much criticism of police unions by the GOP.
