Northam is playing this like the Charlottesville riot created by MacAuliffe. Objective: provoke comments and incidents he can portray as lawless white supremacists run amok. I would not put it past him to pick a mostly black enforcement squad to create a racial dimension, cynically hoping for LEO deaths he can exploit. Don’t go for the bait.
Defeating the funding for his goon squad is a good move. Why would the legislator fund enforcement of laws that do not yet exist, and well may not pass? At least some Dem Senators and Assemblypersons have to know that they will never be re-elected if they pass Northam’s agenda.
if cops try unlawfully to take my guns i will point out they are breaking the law. If a single hand touches the butt of a pistol, it will be a nasty firefight.
