Michigan state police are “monitoring all of the conversations” of protesters planning to descend on the capitol Thursday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer told reporters.
“I don’t know the group, I’ve not vetted the data, I can’t vouch for it,” she admitted.
Whitmer was then asked if she “wants to see” the Michigan State Police ticket protesters who are violating social distancing orders.
“I think the Michigan State Police is monitoring all of the conversations around this event tomorrow – that they are prepared and are working with the attorney general,” she said.
She said they are prepared to ticket protesters “if there’s reason to do it.”
“I’m hopeful they don’t have reason to,” Whitmer said.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO
(derived from COunter INTELligence PROgram) (1956–1971) was a series of covert and illegal[1][2] projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting American political organizations.
...The FBI has used covert operations against domestic political groups since its inception; however, covert operations under the official COINTELPRO label took place between 1956 and 1971.[12] COINTELPRO tactics are still used to this day and have been alleged to include discrediting targets through psychological warfare; smearing individuals and groups using forged documents and by planting false reports in the media; harassment; wrongful imprisonment; and illegal violence, including assassination.[13][14][15][16] The FBI’s stated motivation was “protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order”.[17]
...Illegal surveillance
The final report of the Church Committee concluded:
Too many people have been spied upon by too many Government agencies and too much information has been illegally collected. The Government has often undertaken the secret surveillance of citizens on the basis of their political beliefs, even when those beliefs posed no threat of violence or illegal acts on behalf of a hostile foreign power. The Government, operating primarily through secret and biased informants, but also using other intrusive techniques such as wiretaps, microphone “bugs”, surreptitious mail opening, and break-ins, has swept in vast amounts of information about the personal lives, views, and associations of American citizens. Investigations of groups deemed potentially dangerous—and even of groups suspected of associating with potentially dangerous organizations—have continued for decades, despite the fact that those groups did not engage in unlawful activity.
Groups and individuals have been assaulted, repressed, harassed and disrupted because of their political views, social beliefs and their lifestyles. Investigations have been based upon vague standards whose breadth made excessive collection inevitable. Unsavory, harmful and vicious tactics have been employed—including anonymous attempts to break up marriages, disrupt meetings, ostracize persons from their professions, and provoke target groups into rivalries that might result in deaths. Intelligence agencies have served the political and personal objectives of presidents and other high officials. While the agencies often committed excesses in response to pressure from high officials in the Executive branch and Congress, they also occasionally initiated improper activities and then concealed them from officials whom they had a duty to inform.
Governmental officials—including those whose principal duty is to enforce the law—have violated or ignored the law over long periods of time and have advocated and defended their right to break the law.
The Constitutional system of checks and balances has not adequately controlled intelligence activities. Until recently the Executive branch has neither delineated the scope of permissible activities nor established procedures for supervising intelligence agencies. Congress has failed to exercise sufficient oversight, seldom questioning the use to which its appropriations were being put. Most domestic intelligence issues have not reached the courts, and in those cases when they have reached the courts, the judiciary has been reluctant to grapple with them.[92][93]
Dems love to spy on people.
Wow, this is big brother and she is not the least bit ashamed to admit it. Recall time.
If this means that Michigan votes for Trump, there will at least be something worthy to come from this. And it may be a direct response to her actions as governor.
Gov. “ Grinch” Gretchen is really getting her Nazi on...
.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is a classic socialist. Contrary to the propaganda that the far left teaches in our schools, there is no significant difference among national socialists, soviet socialists, or today’s global socialists. They all turn into totalitarian thugs once they seize power - for our own good, of course.
I still think some long term outcomes of this virus can be positive for the US.
And and All wannabe dictators were outed at one time.
So many politicians said thing they really thought and those things will not go away.
I think a number will not be reelected.
We will control you! We ARE the people’s government, you are plebes
Bkmrk
The majority of Michigan voters put this woman in office. They have only themselves to blame. The same is true here in NJ. I didn’t vote for this buck toothed grinning idiot of a governor.
“What’s up with Michigan voters?”
The girl who cut my husband’s hair today is from Michigan and she said that normal people HATE this gov. The problem is Detroit.
Go to sleep in Michigan, wake up in East Germany.
Crossfire Hurricane is even a bigger example with illegal activity by the Communist leaders at the FBI and CIA with direct coordination by POTUS Obama.
Now that they’ve released the murdered, rapists, illegals, burglars and child molesters from the prisons, they have plenty of room for those who insist on the so-called freedom of freedom, right of assembly, freedom of religion, and right to keep and bear arms.
Some people are citizens of a state and some are subjects of the state.
It is up to the people to decide what they want to be.
I prefer CITIZEN
Luckily our state still has some conservatives in it and understand the difference.
Unfortunately, almost ALL of our over 500 folks in congress think we are subjects of theirs.
They are more like kings and queens now than representatives.
And that needs to end.
It’s good to be Führer!! Heil Whitmer!!
