“There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down.” (For What It’s Worth/Stephen Stills)

"I'm going to do something — that, I can tell you," Trump told reporters Monday in the Oval Office. "Because we're not going to let New York and Chicago and Philadelphia and Detroit and Baltimore and all of these — Oakland is a mess. We're not going to let this happen in our country." The power of one federal law enforcement agency to seek assistance from others may give him the flexibility to send hundreds or thousands of agents into several cities at the same time. What's not clear — beyond Trump's perceived political benefit — is why (Jonathan Allen)

"What really crossed the line for me was when the feds started picking people off the street," she said. "That is a totalitarian and authoritarian tactic, and I don't want it in my city and I want them gone."(Jonathan Allen) Photographer Mathieu Lewis-Rolland was on scene at Monday night's anti-police brutality protests in Portland when he captured a striking image: a federal officer pointing their weapon directly at him. "Last night was the most horrifying thing I have ever experienced in my life," he said. "I got shot at, gassed more times than I can imagine." The officer, like many currently in the city under orders from the Trump administration, is wearing a camouflage uniform, a helmet, and a gas mask as he stares directly at the camera. (Buzz Feed)
Tank Man is the nickname of an unidentified Chinese man who stood in front of a column of tanks leaving Tiananmen Square on June 5, 1989, the day after the Chinese military had suppressed the Tiananmen Square protests by force. A scene in Beijing, being replayed in American cities in America, with the same premise; AUTHORITARIANISM, to defeat DEMOCRACY!
A madman, a sick dangerous, paranoid, mad man; angry that his re-election numbers are failing, because he has failed and within his failure, lashes out at his own people. Men and women, no longer loyal to the US Constitution and the right to free speech, and to gather and protest, whose own agenda and definition of democracy must be questioned, attack peaceful American citizens. Dressed in a disguise of armor of deceit and shadows, as not to be identified as attempting to act as marauders or crusaders, or mercenaries of that madman, this UNKNOWN MILITARY group of bully’s hide and pretend it is law and order they provide but fear more being found out as treasonous traitors to their own brothers and sisters of America.
