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.

-- snip --

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

Philidelphia police to Federal Marshall Anthony McAuliffe Jr., "You are under arrest, will you comply and surrender peacefully?"

Marshall McAuliffe draws his service pistol and points it at the Philly police and says,"NUTS!"

His dad did. I believe him. But I’m guessing he never served anywhere other than as a waiter while in college.
I live near this moron. The Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police have a sign up on I-95 in Philly that says “Wanted: District Attorney”
They hate his guts.

Will the cops obey an illegal order?

The same cops who Democrats disrespect and threaten to defund?

Interesting times.

He’s pretty young to have a WW2 veteran father...

He also is on the political left, right along with the National Socialist Workers Party!

Michelle Malkin had a Back the Blue event. The cops looked on as she was physically attacked.

Neither side is going to accept an adverse result in the November election.

We're going to just have to assume we already won it, and practice dealing with the rebellious Lefty rabble NOW.

This is a full blown rebellion.
It is tied to the Congressional/ DOJ Coup to over throw President Trump who is fighting his lonely battle alone. It is also a Mao style Cultural Revolution with the goal of ousting President from power. It has the backing of organized sports and the support of the sports fans. The support and aid of the main stream media. The active support of the unborn baby murdering and American hating Democrat Party.

Oh yes.

Indeed.

Let thousands ransack the entire area, enable and condone the, don’t arrest them.

But make sure to arrest those trying to control the bastards.

Fascism, my butt. Your beloved FDR confined Japs to concentration camps, never mind regulating everything which is the definition of fascism. How’s that for your “patriot” ancestor?

It is implied, not subtly, that federal agents are roaming the city kidnapping peaceful protestors at will.

That's the lie. They will use it all the way up the escalation ladder.

Yes.

And the ones who don't will be quickly replaced by ones who do.

See the Denver Police Department for a recent example.
