🙄 is that why you’re in the military? to detain unarmed protesters on your own soil?

get fucked.

I guess we know our enemy

Here’s the relevant section of the article that the title is referencing:

He emphasized that while troops can temporarily detain individuals, they must wait for law enforcement officers to make actual arrests.

Unless the guard troops are working directly with law enforcement, or are there at the request of the state, or the Insurrection Act has been invoked, none of which have happened or are the case, then it is completely illegal for them to be detaining anyone for any reason. Those troops should be refusing to follow those illegal orders. As should their commanding officer, but I’m getting the impression this is not a guy with a lot of critical thinking skills.

Newsflash: The commander overseeing operations CANNOT temporarily detain people as it is a constitutional violation. What they are trying to say (between the lines) is that they have declared "Martial Law Light".

Shit is about to get (more) stupid.

Posse Comitatus Act

This is not going to end well.

Who is this commanders superior officer? Because wtf

Literally a violation of posse comitatus. You are a traitor, commander.

"We're there to protect their federal officers, their federal personnel," Sherman said in the interview. "We're there to protect them so that they can do their job."

Negative, commander, you are there to protect the constitutional right of US citizens to safely assemble and express their first amendment right to protest.

Make peaceful revolution possible. That is your duty, son.

They can try lol

Bold of you to assume this about enforcing law (or keeping peace).

This is escalation for the sake of performative leadership. It's another manufactured crisis. They find a manageable problem under someone else's purview, exacerbate it, use the escalation to claim the other party is losing control, step in, and pretend to help while the other party solves the problem, then they take credit and walk away. It's a power grab. Bonus points if it distracts everyone else from the supposed leader's negligence, incompetence, and outright theft. The Big Beautiful Bill isn't drawing the same portion of the public's attention as it was before, is it?

The bullest of shit indeed: enacting cruelty on the vulnerable to enable robbing the overwhelming majority Americans.

This concludes the rant. Thanks for your post. I hope we never stop talking about this and never let future generations forget.

Under what authority?

Judge Bayer didn't seem too enthusiastic about backing that one up..

Violence breeds violence, Commander.

How long is temporary?

In the laaaaaaaaaaand of the freeeeeeee... sing along US friends, you know the words!

War it is. 😞

Can they kill them? Cause.

DO YOU KNOW THE ENEMY

Just now, israel attacked iran, as a distraction from all these protest, so typical of trump. the media immediately started focusing on that news instead of this.

Given the lawsuit regarding the electoral votes, the military should be holding the house and president until that lawsuit is finished.
