They are content bumbling from one Constitutional travesty to the next:

“Riot forces at White House include tactical teams wearing insignia from Texas federal prisons

Previously unidentified officers wore shirts with insignia from at least two federal prisons in Texas, one of which includes active coronavirus infections.

Federal prison officers sent to protests in Washington, D.C., this week caused alarm and confusion when they took to the streets in unmarked uniforms and riot gear.

The officers, some wearing Texas patches and insignia on their outfits, refused to identify themselves or the agency they represented, raising questions among bystanders about who the unmarked forces were. But on Thursday, the Bureau of Prisons confirmed to The Dallas Morning News that it dispatched tactical teams to two cities, saying their forces were not wearing uniforms that identified them as prison officers “because they are serving a broader mission.”

“The anonymity of the officers that appears to be happening in at least some places makes oversight all but impossible,” Deitch said. “Transparency and accountability go out the window.”

U.S. Attorney General William Barr requested the prisons bureau dispatch teams to respond to protests in Washington and Miami. These forces include Special Operations Response Teams and Disturbance Control Teams, the bureau said, describing them as “highly trained tactical units” that can assist other law enforcement agencies during emergencies and “that specialize in crowd control scenarios.”

The move came as President Trump said he would send members of the military to respond to protests across the nation.”

The Coronavirus is forcing white America to face certain facts about the nature of black life in this country.

The full length video of the murder of a black man by a white cop is forcing white America to face certain truths about black life in this country.

And still, cops across the country, and now the Trump/Barr cadre of secret police, are meeting peaceful 1st Amendment protests regarding these facts and truths with excessive force and unnecessary and unprovoked violence.
