Mainecat Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) DHS Chief Says His Federal Agents Are 'Proactively' Arresting People In Portland Source: TPM Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Chad Wolf spun his unidentified federal agents’ random detainment of nonviolent anti-police brutality protesters in Portland, Oregon as some kind of pre-crime measure on Tuesday night. “Because we don’t have that local support, that local law enforcement support, we are having to go out and proactively arrest individuals,” Wolf said during an interview on Fox News. “And we need to do that because we need to hold them accountable.” He derided the “ridiculous” notion that federal law enforcement shouldn’t take over a city without local leaders’ permission. “You need to hold individuals accountable, and when we don’t do that, I think we get what we see in Portland today,” the Trump administration official said.

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted July 22, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) “Proactive Arrest”...sounds like one of the principles this country was founded on...SMH BTW Chad Wolf hasn’t been confirmed as the head of DHS and isn’t qualified.

Anler Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 When you commit a crime you can expect to get arrested. In Chicago there was a mass shooting at a funeral. I guess the cops suspected something could happen so they had a squad at the funeral. Didnt matter, 15 people were shot. So.. the mayor who was playing politics and said she didnt want feds in the city helping with the gang problem just changed her mind. They are now coming in. I am not one for bootlicking tactics but enough is enough. these punks are just getting too brazen with their pea shootin and nobody is safe. Time to take out the trash. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many complained then. Guess what...it worked. You know an amazing thing happened after the 1994 crime bill. Was all of it good...nope. Did it reduce violent crime? Yep.

There is a 100 people around when these shootings take place and nobody saw shit. But when the cops come to arrest everyone has their phones out talking about the police are abusing them. Well guess what, now you get the faceless body snatchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I’m concerned they can start shooting some of these people dead, who are throwing bricks, ball bearings with slingshots, etc..

Lets face it Chicago is only one failure when it comes to violent crime. Plenty of other democrap cities that need the same thing. Personally I wish the feds would stay out of it and let the people wake up to whom is failing them all on their own but after decades I no longer think that is possible.

Its always been a problem but its getting out of control and just too fucking brazen. They just dont give a fuck about anyone or anything. And to be honest there are alot of decent people in these neighborhoods that are living in terror. We just cant allow that and it is already become somewhat "normal" that people are just used to it. We cant become numb to this behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cops don't care? Not enough detectives? People won't help the police? All of the above? 22% with black victims is unreal. Means a lot of murderers continue killing. The community has to help to get these people off the streets forever. Locking up the violent offenders for long periods or life really does work at reducing the crime rates. 1994 crime bill cut it down more than half in 10 years.

Cops are doing alot. The police supt was on the other day regarding the incident at the columbus statue and he said they have confiscated 5000 guns this year already. 5000! Thats alot and its still July. So yeah they are out there dealing with this. Here is the video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a way for witness' to at least get the cop on the right track and get more of these killers off the streets. If they aren't willing to help the police then I can't say I feel that sorry for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you speak up then there are 1200 soldiers ready to do harm to you and your family. Are you going to do that? They just shot up a funeral with a cop sitting outside, they will do whatever and they dont care or fear the law or repercussions. And most of these people dont have the resources to just pick up and move or they already would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are ways to get LE on track in these investigations without showing up as a snitch. Crimestoppers. Calling in leads. Lots of ways to do it in the shadow's. Sure many are afraid but many just won't do it because they hate police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are assuming that all of the police are legit. You dont think the gangs pay some of these guys off? I think alot of you are naive to the way things work.
