June 4 (UPI) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday sent a letter to President Donald Trump expressing concern about the "increased militarization" in response to police brutality demonstrations.

She called for full identification of all law enforcement and military agencies involved in policing the protests in Washington, D.C.

"It is alarming that here in our nation's capital, the thousands who have turned out peacefully have been confronted with the deployment of various security officers from multiple jurisdictions, including unidentified federal law enforcement personnel," Pelosi wrote.

She said she's seen officers from the Washington, D.C., police, the federal Bureau of Prisons, the National Park Service, the National Guard and the FBI.

"We are concerned about the increased militarization and lack of clarity that may increase chaos," Pelosi said.

1. Lots of luck!

[bluestarone]

2. Seems like The fucking rethugs get a court order immediately when they want one

WHY can't we get one here? Total bullshit that the rethugs can do what they are doing!!!!!

[sandensea]

4. Exactly. 40 years of court packing has paid off for the GOPee

Yes, we've had Clinton and Obama - but how many federal judges were they able to appoint.

With the Senate in GOP hands most of that time (or in a position where the Repugs had a filibuster veto), probably not that many.

[ehrnst]

11. This is the first step.

If they refuse, then she has reason to go to a judge for a court order....

[DENVERPOPS]

26. Can anyone tell me

of a single court order or Subpoena that they have complied with???????

good luck with merely "asking"......................

[NotHardly]

15. slow motion coup

[wnylib]

28. The American people are coming together

against Trump. We will not stand by and allow a coup. We will resist.

3. Police are just proving why there needs to be protests against police brutality.

WTF are they thinking? They are even shooting marked medics AFTER telling people to bring someone they already critically injured, by shooting them in the head with rubber bullets, to them. Pick one, for crying out loud.

And yes, we need their badge numbers, who they work for, and all of the info possible to turn their asses in.

Also, cops are turning their body cams off at curfew too. Why? Because more police brutality. Police have gone rabid, attacking US citizens. They aren't going after looters. They are going after the peaceful protesters and people just trying to get home from work or just passing through too.

This is the kind of stuff you hear about in dictatorships and authoritarian uncivilized countries, not the USA. Fuck this.

27. I can't get it to play. Did you see it anywhere else?

[Jamastiene]

33. Try clicking on the time or somewhere on the white area and it should

open up Twitter in a new tab or window. I can't get videos from Twitter to play on other sites or on DU either. I have to go to Twitter so see them.

That should work though. I imagine this will end on on other sites soon. I haven't seen it elsewhere yet though.

34. Clicked all over, just get a stalled load.

I'll try on another device. Thanks!

At the rate of speed the RepubliCONs are progressing, I'm beginning to wonder if we will even have an election........

[Doug.Goodall]

31. Any names Speaker Pelosi gets will be sheep dipped.

Barr will turn over a list of names computer generated straight out of the witness protection program.
