Every Mayor and Every D.A. needs to get a police film crew to follow the feds around and film everything they do. One whisker out of line they get arrested (or their vehicle’s towed…) A statement like Krasner made in Phili is needed, and may provide some restraining influence:

We must all become a LION to resist Trump’s tyranny!
Addendum:
Trump is a VERY VERY VERY Corrupt Pig!
Addendum:
Operation Legend is just Trump’s Gestapo with lipstick…
Where are the Rethugs that USED to decry’s “states rights”?
Their silence is deafening!
Addendum2:
“Heroes fight for America, Trump fights against it!”

So if it is about enforcement, he doesn’t care to enforce the law in red states?

That confused local reporters in Kansas City, who noted that federal authorities announced the first arrest stemming from the surge just two days ago — a man charged with being an unlawful drug user in possession of firearms. Or as U.S. Attorney Tim Garrison called him, “a crime waiting to happen.”
Mission creep. They will tout arrests but do nothing to help investigate actual murders.

For more than 6 decades of my life I never wanted summer to end. But now November 2, 2020 cannot get here fast enough. Just please remember we all have to wake up and vote when October ends.

Yet he’s said nothing about the “men’s rights” fellow who tried to murder a federal judge, killed
her son and wounded her husband. Barr fortunately did issue a statement.

A drug user? Not even a dealer? Oh my word.

I am old enough to remember when we used to be the United States of America. Our leaders worked to unite us in a time of crisis. Sadly, we have a flame thrower with one intent…chaos.

Bernalillo Cty. Sheriff Manny Gonzales, a conservative Dem., wants to challenge Mayor Tim Keller in the next primary, so he went and met with Turnip today to ask for feds to be sent to Albuquerque to boost his own tough on crime bona fides. There is a real gun and drug violence problem in the city and county, but this is much more about Gonzales positioning for the primary. He’s been making a lot of tough talk the last several months, refusing to implement the law requiring body cams on all cops, claiming them using their own cell phones will be better. He’s a fool, though, if he thinks he’ll beat the popular Keller by alienating the very activated Burque progressives who will decide the primary, and then he’s a double fool if he thinks he’ll win the general by stealing NE Heights R’s from whoever the R candidate is. He won’t have the well of Rio Rancho reactionary R support he was able to draw on running county-wide because it’s a different city.
