Gov. Rainmondo re: Portland and DJT
"like, he’s insane"
"sending in the president’s militia into a state over the objections of the governor and law enforcement in that state"
Who Actually Wants Trump to Send in the Feds? Police Unions.
the president of Portland’s police union met with the head of the Department of Homeland Security last week to discuss the agents, apparently without the knowledge of the city’s police chief. The president of Chicago’s police union made his own envoys, asking Trump for federal intervention.
Portland Police uniforms stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the anonymous feds dressed in camouflage. While Portland Police are bound by a judge’s injunction on the use of non-lethal tactics such as tear gas, the feds aren’t. So the local cops are using the feds as cover, argued Juan Chavez, a Portland civil rights attorney.
