Trump stormtroopers in Portland some of them are veterans [View all]

This morning my wife asked me she said she saw a patch on the right shoulder of one of the feds in Portland patch a unit patch on right shoulder is a combat patch. She said it was same patch her dad wore as medic in Vietnam. And she said the flag above the patch was stars stripes left to right in this it is tradition wearing it seen like this is that your unit is involved in a campaign. So I showed her pics of 9th infantry and then the air cav the units her father served with . And it was air Calvary patch.

So my point in this ramble as I drink my fifth cup of coffee. Is that these storm troops are following unlawful orders put out by trumpig. What is straightforward in my mind is posse comitatus. These individuals are acting as a army they’re in camouflage and armed with weapons. And in the case of veterans amongst them they should understand that they’re violating the oath they took to serve and they have violated their oath . That these are immoral orders being handed down. I find it disgusting that veterans who served is they’re so ignorant evil and weak of mind to carry out trumps orders. They may find themselves serving two years in fed prison for violating posse comitatus. I doubt that would happen as a vet though I would like to see these fuckers be prosecuted and do time because their traitors.
