1. No worries, they'll probably give him a couple of bottles of water and thank him for his help.

6. CNN carrying news conference about several arrests.

So no.

12. Thanks.... with Barr's justice department hopefully you can forgive me for

wondering the worst...

[cwydro]

16. Michigan state police, attorney general, etc. seem to be taking this pretty seriously.

Plenty of charges being filed.

No idea about any standoff, they're not talking about that. They’re saying they’re all in custody.

2. The presser going on right now is sobering.

They’ve been watched all along but they were plotting some insane, violent stuff. Remember Oklahoma City!

7. WTAF have we (well they) become??? I guess we should not surprised since they've got an

accomplice in the White House.

11. They are Timothy McVey by another name.

Inspired by the same white-right-wing media.

13. They already have bodies on them, and I fear the worst is yet to come.

3. Trump personally called for this, every word and action of his does. more to come I am sure

4. Will he get to go to McDonalds too on the way to the police station?

[cwydro]

18. Well, the assholes were targeting law enforcement too.

So I’m thinking no on Mickey D.

5. The local cops will probably avoid hurting him...

... even if he shoots at them.

Then stop at a convenience store and fast-food joint after the arrest for cigs and burgers.

[cwydro]

10. They've arrested several, though I'm seeing nothing about a standoff.

They’re all in custody.

Some making first court appearances according to Michigan attorney general.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

15. Thanks.

This thread probably isn't up-to-date. I just now heard on CNN that they were ALL in custody.

8. Guarantee the guy is white...

If it were a black or brown man, he would be dead already.

THIS is the kind of shit that enrages me about "law enforcement" and their supporters myopic insistence that there is no racism in law enforcement in general. This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME - white suspects ARMED TO THE TEETH and even BRANDISHING WEAPONS live and get 'stand offs' ... black suspects get shot on sight, or when running away, or when in bed, or when playing with a toy.

This is why the police should not even BE THERE if its a negotiation or stand-off, it should be trained professionals at best by at worst it should NOT be racist, trigger-happy cowards in 'fear for their lives'...

Just another log of steaming bullshit thrown into the dumpster fire that is Trump's America 2020...

9. What happened to no-knock warrants? Bust into his house and just start shooting?

What happened to that? Oh, that's right. They're not Black.
