Asked who they’re with, these guys say only that they’re with “The Department of Justice.”

1. Eric Prince is involved in campaignign spying and hacking.

They are going to pull out all of the stops...It’s about to get real dirty.

2. Maybe BOP riot team?

US Federal Bureau of Prisons (or BOP.) Barr is sending them to Miami too:

Attorney General Barr sends BOP riot teams to DC, Miami

In response to the violence and riots that have broken out across the U.S., Attorney General William Barr has called on the Bureau of Prisons' riot teams to be sent to Washington, D.C., and Miami.

Barr will send the BOP's Special Operation Response Teams to the two cities to assist local authorities after the protests related to the death of George Floyd escalated Sunday night, Fox News reported. In D.C., DEA agents and the D.C. National Guard were also sent to help local police, Secret Service and Homeland Security agents.

Meanwhile, the FBI will be setting up command posts across the U.S. to help conduct interviews if any federal crimes have been committed.

"With the rioting that is occurring in many of our cities around the country, the voices of peaceful and legitimate protests have been hijacked by violent radical elements," Barr said. "Groups of outside radicals and agitators are exploiting the situation to pursue their own separate, violent and extremist agenda. It is time to stop watching the violence and to confront and stop it."

According to Barr, the Justice Department and FBI's independent investigation into the death of Floyd is "proceeding quickly." The investigation will determine whether any federal civil right laws were violated.

5. Those bullies should NOT be allowed to touch any US citizens.

Blackwater and all of Erik Prince's other bullies are horrendous. They should never be allowed to touch any US citizen.

I despise all of this "dominate" crap. It's pro-rape sounding language at its core. Men might talk to each other that way as a joke, but MOST* men never have to worry about being raped. Naturally, it's funny to them.

For women, though? At least I can say for this woman, there is nothing funny or even acceptable about it. Of course, there are a lot of straight women I have met who seem to just shrug it off as part of life you have to accept. That has been my horrid experience in the part of NC where I live. I despise pro-rape attitudes, but I am surrounded by mostly pro-rape attitudes and have been raped. So, it's extremely shitty for me to have to experience mostly that STILL to this day. My own family, including my mother, is like that. She is the one who arranged to have me raped because she said I was an embarrassment to the family for being gay. I still despise her to this day for it too.

*Of course, some men have been raped too and this is not meant to minimize their experience. There are some men who do need to worry about it, but most don't and most make jokes about it like it is something funny. It is not.

6. Seems like we are getting a look at what our election could be like?

Kinda scary!

[malaise]

7. Very possible n/t

8. It's worth calling congressional reps to inquire as to where those soldiers (mercenaries?) came from

[bottomofthehill]

9. By what authority are they armed in Washington DC

I would be arrested for that.

10. We should be calling/writing as many Congresscritters as we can think of & our own Senators...

Demand to know who, exactly, these troops with NO INSIGNIA are, and who ordered them up. This is very important.

11. Interesting point in the tweet thread: look at the shoes.

Something's off in the first photo. They have matching clothes, they have plenty of gear, but they aren't really properly uniformed. The mismatched crappy shoes really give them away. Their training may be just as spotty. Not good.

12. They look well fed in black T-shirt over camo.

Something’s not right in privatizing American military ops against Americans, let alone Prezidentel protection. Glad Betsy DeVos is 16th in line of succession, 2 spots behind Turtle’s wife, Elaine Chow.

14. My BIL is a retired MIL INTEL and Special Forces officer

He is still very active in certain circles, and says he will donate his kidneys if these guys are actual military. They look like mercenaries he worked with in the past.
