There’s a ridiculous video which I’ll link below. Ridiculous for it’s tortured logic and fear mongering. Did you know we’re living in a police state? Did you know President Trump is trying to intimidate us into fearing setting one foot outside the lines?

Apparently the program The Young Turks obtained documents re troops at the border. It’s possible this is a leak - not sure. The documents say “For Official Use Only” and specify that the troops stationed on the border with Mexico are authorized to use lethal force under certain conditions. This information is distorted as far as you can imagine to the point the video host says he’s amazed the murders haven’t been piling up already.

Apparently this “news flash” about the border is needed to instill the sort of fear that the cray cray left claims President Trump wants to create in our “police state.” I’ll put the link below only because I believe we’re able to read between the lines and learn a little about reasonable actions that President Trump has taken to secure the border with Mexico, which he has previously described as having greater importance than we understand.

The video is by a Youtube channel named The Ring Of Fire and the video host is reporting on the programming and documents revealed by the investigative reporter on The Young Turks television program.

Can’t watch videos more than a couple minutes at present, and the Young Turks are ahem.... Demsheviks writ large.

But troops on border may well be and likely are authorized to use lethal force, and IIRC I read something about that a long time ago, if they are attacked. What with the MX military capitulating to cartels, and cartels having mil weaponry and equipment, serious violence is likely to increase at the border and I sure would hope our mil is authorized to use lethal force if necessary!

That guy is an idiot. He’s pissed because the troops are allowed to protect themselves and border guards even to the point of lethal force.
