Philadelphia's Top Prosecutor Is Prepared to Arrest Federal Agents
Attention to the Unseen ^ | July 22, 2020, 5:00 AM EDT | By Brentin Mock

After numerous reports and lawsuits in Portland regarding un-badged and un-uniformed federal officers arresting, beating, and detaining people in unmarked vehicles, the Trump administration’s response is that they’re going to do it even more, and in more cities. Saying that his federal agents are doing a “fantastic job,” Trump has suggested that he will also deploy agents in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore and Milwaukee to do the same.

In one of those cities, the city prosecutor has already preemptively warned Trump’s police forces what he will do if they bring the same tactics to Philadelphia:

“My dad volunteered and served in World War II to fight fascism, like most of my uncles, so we would not have an American president brutalizing and kidnapping Americans for exercising their constitutional rights and trying to make America a better place, which is what patriots do,” said Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner in a statement. “Anyone, including federal law enforcement, who unlawfully assaults and kidnaps people will face criminal charges from my office.”

Trump claims the federal intervention is needed due to excessive violence, particularly around federal statues and monuments. But legal experts have said the reported federal actions in Portland far exceed legal boundaries.

“[T]he use of a secret federal paramilitary force in Portland (and soon Chicago and likely other cities) is every bit the abuse of power that it appears to be,” legal scholar Elizabeth Goitein, of the Brennan Center for Justice, wrote on Twitter, noting that Trump’s claim of protecting federal property is pure pretext for his intent to have federal agents do the work of local police.

A clash between local and federal law enforcement over how to manage protesters in Philadelphia — if it comes to that — would be unprecedented.

I hate to say it but let the locals burn the cities to the ground. No feds in the cities to assist. Then, let the citizens hate their local politicians more than they already do.

Is it possible that the desired Cultural Revolution desired by the Rats will backfire and result in the open rebellion of LEOs supported by the Feds?

George Wallace tried to block the entrance to a school where black students were to attend. That confrontation did not last too long. The United States military had that under control from the outset.

Brennan Center for Justice...an anti-Trump Marxist political group. Ignore them.

What is the legal defense to a city allowing rioting and insurrection? We like rioting, looting, burning and killing here in Philly? We call it “normal,” a “summer of love.”

If this is civil war, let it be written. Let it be done.

Somebody MUST win this fight and it cannot be the criminals.

More likely he volunteered for the Lincoln Batallion in the Spanish Civil War.

And was spared execution by Stalin's roving NKVD agents due to ideological purity

More unidentified "experts".

As I understand it, it is completely legal for the feds to protect federal property. It is implied, not subtly, that federal agents are roaming the city kidnapping peaceful protestors at will. What a pantload.

Who’s going to arrest them, how are you going to arrest them, and what charges will you arrest them with?

I looked up the Brennan Center for Justice a few minutes ago. Your take is exactly right.

“After numerous reports and lawsuits in Portland regarding un-badged and un-uniformed federal officers arresting, beating, and detaining people in unmarked vehicles...”

Because we all know that people who burn buildings, assault officers, and attack innocent business owners and members of the public would never stoop to telling a fib.
