[@jameskrivda1151]

That "sword" swings both ways. "Hands up, don't shoot" never happened, yet it's being chanted by the crowd. People hate Trump so it doesn't matter what the actual facts are...he's wrong about everything. It would be interesting to see an equally thought out and thorough dissertation from someone with a more conservative approach. Then I could decide for myself what's important and stake a position. Also, acting like no harm is being done across this nation by everything that is happening seems silly to me. Two people were murdered in CHAZ/CHOP, in Seattle, while the police were "banned" so this so-called "summer of love" is not quite so rosey. Our society has problems and issues to deal with, there is insidious racism in our systems that "white" people don't know about, don't understand or unfortunately don't care about, and that needs to change. The faulty, white, rich, slave-holding men that formed our current govt did build a pliable, system that is resistant to "mob-rule" but can be changed. And that is a good thing. However, I believe we might be in the in the process of "throwing the baby out with the bath water".

I have a hypothetical question. Could the governor of Oregon have ordered the Oregon National Guard to protect the protestors from the federal police? To me, this is exactly what "a well regulated milita, being necessary to the security of a free state" meant to the drafters of the second amendment.

[@stevenswenson8971]

You pose an interesting scenario. I do not have expertise in this subject so my thoughts are my own opinions. My initial reaction is no... they cannot. If the federal police are there enforcing federal laws (which is their claim) then they are not attempting to overthrow or stage a coup against local and state governments. The state cannot bar federal officers from enforcing federal laws. From my understanding, the national guard is under state control but is also a federal entity... so I don't know who holds the ultimate authority over them.

[@atroxiv]

It's entirely possible, but the President would say "lol no", and, as the commander in chief, the foremost power of the executive branch and the military, he would be prioritized. Also, the national guard should definitely not be used like that and the national guard is nowhere even close to a militia, it is a military branch, with military weaponry and training. Also some of those protesters dressed up like edgy people at night and threw bombs/molotovs at federal buildings, so it would probably not work out so well.

[@DieNextInLINE]

I was thinking about this, too. What would have happened if someone just thought they were getting kidnapped and started blasting? With the way some of these whackadoos who travel cross-country to "fight the libs" dress, I wouldn't hesitate to think a couple well-armed and well-equipped domestic terrorist psychopaths were grabbing me.

[@issstari954]

@@stevenswenson8971 While under state command they are the commander in chief but the president can federalize their command if your asking this questions its actually happened several times before at various points the most recent case was segregation which case they followed federalization order but there was several cases during the great depression they ignored the federalization and refused to supress protests in this case I think it strongly likely they would follow federal orders and being entirely honest if a president enacted the insurrection act they have very broad authority to bring order

I was there for the protests as I live in Portland. That singing and just....doing nothing outlandish was 99% of the protests. It was only the few people who came out late at night who wanted trouble that made headlines and labeled us as troublemakers and out of control. They had no interest in the movement, but just wanted to fight and break storefront windows under the guise of protesting. It really shed a bad light on us. His sister’s reporting was spot on and it was usually a great time!

[@archibaldt.6]

Don't bother blaming those few people. The media was just looking for a reason to label the protests altogether - and you're always going to have those select few who turn to more violent or destructive means, whether because they simply were looking for an excuse, or because they understand that nonviolent protest alone is entirely ineffective at bringing about any real change. Blame the corporations behind the media, not the protestors.

[@atroxiv]

NGL, I think it was a bit more than a few people. And a lot more than a little damage was done to local businesses and federal buildings. I'm all for peaceful protests, but I believe that loosely organized violent groups like ANTIFA should be labeled as domestic terrorists and removed with the same violence they inflict on others.

[@archibaldt.6]

@@atroxiv Yeah, let's go after anyone who identifies as an anti-fascist. That's a great idea. "ANTIFA" isn't an organization, it's an idea. What you're proposing is a government crackdown on people who likely believe the government is headed down a dark path. Not only will this backfire, but it kinda proves them right, no?

[@thereagauze]

@@atroxiv antifa isn't an acronym and isn't a group and we already have laws against assault, battery and destruction of property which we can use on law breakers, are we going to arrest everyone who wears a cross, peace sign or an american flag next they might be one of the terrible few who commits violence under the banner of a cause too?

There are KZbin videos many hours long of up to 9 CCTV cams at once along with cell phone footage showing people trying to burn down, barricade or vandalize federal buildings; throwing fireworks; and fighting with police.

Are We even hating the right group of people actions if we are. then it seem that everyone is simply flip and flopping on who to hate. Like as if the George Orwell predicted the book event in Nineteen Eighty-Four During one particular Hate Week, Oceania switched allies while a public speaker is in the middle of a sentence, although the disruption was minimal: the posters against the previous enemy were deemed to be "sabotage" of Hate Week conducted by Emmanuel Goldstein and his supporters, summarily torn down by the crowd, and quickly replaced with propaganda against the new enemy, thus demonstrating the ease with which the Party directs the hatred of its members. This ease of direction could also be partially attributed to the similarity in the terms "Eastasia" and "Eurasia" because they are more easily confused. All citizens of Oceania are expected to show appropriate enthusiasm during Hate Week, as well as the daily Two Minutes Hate. While participation in this event is not legally required, avoiding or refusing to do so is said to make one appear suspicious to the Thought Police, generally resulting in the vaporisation (execution) of the perpetrator. This ensures that they are against the opposing party and still allied with Big Brother.[1][2] Hate Week is celebrated in late summer. The events during that time include waxwork displays, military parades, speeches and lectures. New slogans are also coined and new songs are written. The theme of the Hate Week is called the Hate Song. It is mentioned that a unit from the Fiction Department was assigned to make atrocity pamphlets (falsified reports of atrocities committed by Oceania's enemies against her) designed to stimulate Oceania's populace further into enraged frenzy against all enemies. The aggregate effect of Hate Week thus is to excite the populace to such a point that they "would unquestionably have torn [captured enemy soldiers] to pieces" if given the opportunity. Hate Week is introduced to the reader for the first time in the second paragraph of the first page of Nineteen Eighty-Four; however, at this point in time, readers have no idea what Hate Week is. "It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week."[3] as an reality in our current American society?

When I was in prison, one of my cellmates was a lifer. He was given a life sentence after being convicted of kidnapping. The "kidnapping" in question was telling someone to get out of the street, while robbing them. Kidnapping is anytime a person is moved or detained without authority. So, all those dudes marching around detaining people without citing the authority they are acting under are actually in violation of state (and probably federal) law. If they are going to affiliate themselves with the US Marshalls, they should also face federal charges for the abuse of federal authority and defaming the office of the US Marshalls. It would not be unreasonable to call for the arrest of these men refusing to identify themselves.

I was cited 325 by Homeland Security in the Everglades. I was guilty of the crime and I paid the fine. I accept that, however, there was no probable cause to search. It was legal for us to be there, we weren't making a disturbance, and even the National Park Service lets us go. They told us not too long after, they had no idea that DHS was operating in the Everglades. Long story short, the officer searched all of us, including a MTF trans woman, three women, one of whom has anxiety and paranoid dillusions, and two males. He threatened to shoot me if I kept "looking at him like that." It could have gone much worse, but when we asked him about a party that drove in while he was with us, shooting off firearms after midnight, he said they were fine and it wasn't illegal. I know rights were violated that night but there was nothing we could do because it was Homeland Security.

LegalEagle - I am sitting through a second watch of this presentation. I have so many questions and concerns. I'll hold myself to two related ones. What will the legal morass look like when; An unarmed protestor is detained by unidentified camouflaged men pushing him into an unmarked vehicle AND 1) It turns out they are federal agents making a legal arrest. But the protestor resists the arrest. 2) It turns out they are not, and the guy is found dead. In the first case, can the protestor be charged with resisting arrest or anything at all? In the second, is the Federal gov't in any way accountable for creating an environment where "bad actors" can utilize the confusion caused by the Federal officer's tactics?

[@wilsonchuc]

Padraic your second scenario is playing out right now. Peaceful protests are occurring and 'bad actors' are using the mass of people, all wearing black to violently attack police, and property all over the country millions of dollars, then slip back into the crowd, take off their sweatshirt and switch to something not black. As for using the tactics, every bad actor out there is using the absence of police to cause havoc, causing crime to skyrocket. If you look closely at the video the identifying tag is just above the Patch identifying the agency. And bad actors are identified and arrested immediately, see the article about the Kentucky protest where someone was posing as National Guard and immediately called out and arrested. Understand, there are not a lot of officers, so you know who is on your team, your agency. These are the elite officers, I can imagine they may even train together, and they were picked specifically because they are trained for protests and riot control. If anyone is accountable it should be the local politians for allowing it to get this far. Even cutting of all communication with the federal officers is a recipe for disaster if they do not know what is going on. There could be a shooter incident outside the courthouse and someone could get hurt or killed with cross fire.

[@Glyphix-yx7lv]

@@wilsonchuc Sounds what you are saying is if civilian's break the law, it justifies the feds breaking the law?

[@Stormskip]

Your second question pertaining to the second scenario doesn't make sense. In the second scenario the people in the "uniforms" are not police so the Federal officers' tactics are in fact not the Federal officers' tactics but rather the tactics of bad actors. In either case I don't believe you can hold law enforcement accountable for a bad actor impersonating law enforcement. Impersonating an officer is a crime and if you believe someone is impersonating an officer you should find an identified officer and ask them to investigate the supposed impersonator.

As an experienced lawyer, you should know the vehicles are not required to be marked, just like police. The uniforms are actually marked (there was a press conference showing examples), and they're not just grabbing random people off the street. The federal officers investigating the defacement of federal property in Portland, do have the ability to detain and interrogate suspects as you pointed out. You have failed to mention, however, that a federal courthouse in Portland was extremely vandalized and damaged. It's difficult to claim the protests have been "mostly peaceful" when there's been ~$23 million in property damage. Also, you mentioned ORS 810.400, but it's actually irrelevant in this case since the federal officers were not enforcing state law.

@@rmsgrey The big problem with the "guns prevent government tyranny" argument is it depends on the general public (particularly the ones with guns) actually being opposed to the tyrannical government. For instance, contrary to popular belief, Nazi Germany did in fact allow its non-Jewish citizens to own guns. They didn't overthrow the regime at all, because it was overwhelmingly popular. The pen is mightier than the sword. If the media is controlled by the people who support the regime then the only information people are going to hear is pro-regime propaganda. In America the media is overwhelmingly controlled by the very wealthy who would want Trump to remain in power or at the very least restore "Law and Order". In Germany the Nazis never won a fair election but as soon as they gained control of the country they used the power of propaganda to eliminate most opposition to them. All I'm trying to say here is if the people resisting the government don't find a way to take control of the media, their efforts will be in vain regardless of how well-armed they are.

So, do you think that actual criminals aren't going to take advantage of this to further their own goals? These outfits aren't exactly difficult to acquire, so what's stopping some nutters from going out and "arresting" some individuals while pretending to be legal enforcement for the sake of carting off the individuals to some quiet place for the sake of robbery, rape, human trafficking, or anything else?

[@vituperation]

I mean it's _possible_ but it's not exactly probable. By far the more likely case is law enforcement entities (briefly) confusing who is from what department at a glance, but they all know they're law enforcement. After that, you get a risk of those "boogaloo bois" using the confusion to dress as nondescript feds and perform acts of terrorism. As for random abductions for the purpose of human trafficking? I'm going to be blunt: I think you've been watching too much Netflix. There are easier ways to acquire victims that won't launch a missing persons report (eg immigrants). Maybe run of the mill kidnapping could happen, but you could just, you know, kidnap them the way people have been doing it for years.
