Why are they wearing cammo if it’s an urban setting?

Because they are Border Patrol agents who normally work out in the desert or forests. These are their regular uniforms.

The dems and media are pushing the claim that these are Trump's "brownshirts" (Sturmabteilung).

How is it legal or sane for the feds to allow the rioters to burn down a federal building (even if people inside the building survive), if the fire spreads to other buildings?

our police forces are made up of men and women who have been raised on a steady diet of political correctness and the anti-America crap spewed by teachers across the country. I suspect many of them actually sympathize with the rioters. Many of the local Chiefs of Police are in democrat controlled cities are political appointees and loyal democrats who also sympathize with the rioters. Remember the anti-Trump riot in California in 2016, all the cops, including the chief of police stood by and watched the rioters attack those coming out of Trump’s rally.

Then there was the police at Charlottesville who stood back and did nothing as Antifa started a riot there. Yes, we need the police to hold down crime, but when it comes to leftists anti-American riots, we can’t put all our faith that they will stand up to the rioters.

ICE does interior enforcement too. I suspect these are not their regular uniforms. I am surprised they are not U. S. Marshals. That would seem to be the unit to defend these federal facilities. Did they duck out on this one?

Agree. The cavalry ain’t coming. At least until we have a genuine opposition party to the progressive-corporist Uniparty.

They’re staged actors and like I said before, you’re being punked by antifa and you don’t even realize it.......Sheesh!


The video was real. It’s been confirmed those were federal law enforcement arresting the antifa punk. All the info in this article.

Conveniently side-stepping the fact the rioters are in actuality the democrats’ “Sturmabeilung”.

They need to be stopped, forcefully. DRT if necessary.

I am constantly amazed that people who are otherwise sane accept the media propaganda as truth.

They are their regular tactical uniforms. As for the US Marshals they are a very small agency and there simple aren't enough of them.

The Federal Protective Police (part of DHS) have primary responsibility for protecting federal property but they can ask for assistance from other federal agencies when they need it.

"Because they are Border Patrol agents who normally work out in the desert or forests."

Got it - but wouldn't clothing with, say, bricks imprinted on them be a better choice in an urban setting?

Doesn't this whole thing give the lie to all those expense "anti-crowd" "area denial" weapons the DoD paid so much for?

That's what I was wondering - where are all these Super-Duper toys they were bragging about? At least bring in the water cann with dyed water and arrest all who are stained.

U S Marshals are quite short handed. Goes back to ‘08.
