Who is being arrested in Portland

[Chainfire]

6. One of the charges I heard mentioned on the news was arson.

I supposed it would be a Federal crime if directed at a Federal building, but I am a plumber, not a lawyer.

Besides all that, a person can be arrested with insufficient evidence to convict; it happens every day. The purpose of these secrete troops are to make a point, not a conviction. The whole situation is just election year politics by a President who has no qualms about abusing the power of the office for political means.

These "troops" are no more than Trump Brown Shirts who are instigating more problems than they are solving. They should be held individually and collectively accountable for Constitutional violations. Of course if that happens, they will plead the Nuremberg Defense, of "I was only following orders" which was not accepted by the war crimes trials.

Local sheriffs should take some of these troops into custody if found violating citizens rights and out them to the world. We need to see mug shots instead of masks. We need to know who they work for, and where their orders originate. In a free society, with nothing to hide, this would not be an issue.
