Governor Says Federal Agents' Presence Will Create 'Turmoil'


Thursday, July 23, 2020, 4:05pm


Gov. Tony Evers said Thursday he doesn’t support the Trump administration sending federal agents to Milwaukee to assist local law enforcement — something the White House said Wednesday it plans to do within the next three weeks.

Federal agents have already been deployed — or are soon to be deployed — to Chicago, Kansas City and Albuquerque. The White House says their missions are focused on combating violent crime.

Federal agents in camouflage uniforms have already been clashing with protesters in Portland since last week.

Speaking on a call with reporters on Thursday, the governor said he doesn’t support agents coming to Milwaukee because he believes it will escalate tensions between protesters and police.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley said Thursday he likewise opposes the federal presence................................................................

1. Putin's goons will beat and arrest the governor first, probably

8. Funny you should say..........

Sounds like you know his tactics, esp. now. And recognize this is what trump is doing.
Well, not trump, but his handlers.

Chicago Mayor: "Changed my mind/promise, talked to trump on phone, he can send some guys, they'll help
with our crime problems which apparently he was never concerned about until this week"

Seattle Mayor: "Changed my mind/promise, talked to trump on phone, he can send some guys, they'll help
with our crime problems which apparently he was never concerned about until this week"

Kansas City Mayor.......same

This is extremely serious, and how the hell did they get the Mayors to change their minds, practically overnight?

Keep an eye on Milwaulkee............

I have been at cardiologist all day

2. Cuomo got him to hold off for now

I gotta watch today’s Cuomo briefing to hear it all though

3. I must point out the original intention by our founders of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution...

basically to allow states to raise a well regulated militia to oppose tyrannical actions on behalf of the Federal government.

Basically, governors should have the right, under the 2nd amendment, to oppose (arrest) Federal law enforcement that is NOT wanted by state governments.

4. Arrest the fuckers when they show up.

Always be prepared. Oh, and don't identify yourselves. No badges needed, no name tags either. Throw these fuckers into a hole in the ground. Forget that anything ever happened.

5. Trump is desperate and un-American. Trump and other gop should be locked up

14. YOu familiar with James Garner and how he fought Hollywood before most even thought to?

Especially over "The Rockford Files"

I loved him, miss him.

6. "The White House says their missions are focused on combating violent crime."

This is SO DANGEROUS!!!

And it's ALL A LIE...

If we allow this to happen we would be completely screwed.

7. The White House may also use their stormtroopers to "enforce" election security in November...

as has already been done in New Jersey.

9. KR!

[Nortbnd101]

10. Can all this be as simple as.....

...... By deploying uninvited Fed troops to these Big City streets..
They bring we the people out to (peacefully) protest this outrage..
Which they declare a violent anarchist riot (with the help of planted infiltrators..)
Trump/Barr et al declare Martial Law to "protect the Country" and then..
Call off the Election! Insanity ensues. And then where are we ?
I don't know. Tell me this can't happen. Please..

11. It is a huge loophole in the Insurrection Act...

...just say that the military forces are not military, but federal police, and the federal government can then fully occupy any State over the objections of the State.

12. Good for Governor Evers!

He's been working with all his might to keep Wisconsiners safe from Covid19.
What are the state Republicans doing? 1) Nothing about Covid19, 2) Suing the Gov and Health Secretary.
Hey you dolts, help us or get out of the way!
