"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently deployed an elite unit of law enforcement operators to Portland this week"
The word "operator" is often used to describe a member of a special forces unit.
Antifa and BLM thugs in general do not concern me to be a real threat to our liberty. Armed federal agents, trained as special forces "operators" concerns me greatly. Under our Constitution law enforcement within our boarders is not within the domain of the federal government. We have far far too many armed federal agents and they are heavily militarized. They also operate with virtually zero oversight. In a nutshell the President should not have the option to send in an elite team of federal law enforcement operators because these agents should not even exist to begin with. So lets be very careful at what we wish for and what we support. Imagine Beto O'rourke having command and control of these "teams". Think about that for a minute.
They all like to called ‘operators’.
The Federal Courthouse is federal property and deserves our protection - even if the rest of the city burns. I doubt that the troops deployed by DHS are defending any parks or grocery stores - that's the jurisdiction of the city police.
