Suicide Watch posted:In retrospect the marines trademarking their MARPAT doesnt seem that weird now There's definitely been cops wearing either legit MARPAT as some sort of gross appropriation and/or blatant violation of uniform regs if they're Reserves, or illegal bootlegs. In both cases seems like maybe some charges should be pressed against them.

BIG HEADLINE posted:"As soon as we can get their names..." I've seen it suggested in several places that graduation photos from LE academies, department websites, interviews, etc ought to be collected and loaded into a facial recognition database, not only to identify uniformed officers but undercovers as well.

TCD posted:Proactive arrests? In the actual clip, while he uses lovely terminology elsewhere (ie calling graffiti “attacks on federal facilities”), he’s mostly misusing the word proactive and bitching that feds are doing arrests cause local PD isn’t supportive enough in his opinion. Not quite pre-crime yet.

Hot Karl Marx posted:I'm getting the feeling all these federal troops and state violence is going to get worse as we get to the election and it becomes clearer that trump is gonna lose The really comedic thing about it is that all of the swing states (except Texas, lol) have no-excuse absentee voting, Republicans have mostly abandoned it because of Trump's yammering, and Fox Newsers are the most likely to believe that the cities are rioting hellholes. As we've already seen, the more heavy-handed the feds get, the more people end up showing up, specifically to give them the finger. DC backfired, Portland is backfiring, the other cities will end up backfiring, it's far too obvious that these are cops/feds-induced rioting, and it's just going to sink him even more.

I cannot wait to see the two months of meltdowns between his loss and him having to leave the White House. And watching his supporters scream and cry, and then how many of them start trying to walk back and deny their worship of Trump.

Godholio posted:Really? That timespan is the one that worries me the most, whichever way the election goes. Yeah, I'm sure the guy who's known for stripping his bankrupt/foreclosed properties of everything but the load-bearing drywall isn't going to spend his last two months in office 1) publicly saying he won't leave office, and 2) doing as much damage to the country that "rejected" him before he's forcibly removed.

Wait until after the election before predicting his loss imo. I don't trust people to kick his rear end out in November.

Godholio posted:Really? That timespan is the one that worries me the most, whichever way the election goes. It is a bit of a worry, really. But then again, he's proven to be a such a whiny slag when he doesn't get his way that he might just go play golf. Or he might be occupied trying to not go to jail when he gets out. Or maybe he tries to burn the whole country down but all his republicans are running for cover trying to distance themselves from a failed dictator so they've got some vague hope of getting re-elected.

Trump needs to be the albatross around the neck of anyone who worked with him and his administration for the foreseeable future. If you're a senior .mil or .gov employee and you're confident enough to include the Trump years on your resume somewhere, it better come with receipts on how you were actively protecting your agency or command from the fuckery. The Never-Trumpers who eventually toed the line should get the Revelation 3:16 treatment regardless

There's rumors floating around now that they're being "evicted" as of Friday, though it's hard to imagine on what grounds, and I always thought stuff like repossessing diplomatic property was hellaciously difficult to (legally) do anyway. (I'm assuming the Chinese government owns/built the consulate and isn't just renting a building.)

It’s much easier to simply kick the people out of the country and leave an empty building that they still own rather than seize the property outright. I think the State Department has responsibilities to protect diplomatic properties when they’re empty.

Yeah, that makes sense, "evicted" as in the people living/working there, not kicked out of the actual property. I remember reading something a while ago about how DC is dotted here and there with eyesores that have (in some cases dangerously) deteriorated because they're former embassies/residences for foreign countries that no longer use or maintain them, but because for diplomatic reasons it's incredibly hard to repossess them or otherwise force them to be cleaned up.
