I spoke w/ more than a dozen law enforcement & city officials across the country about their scramble to keep pace with the growing menace of right-wing violence & why they’re ill-equipped to track the network of extremists operating in their jurisdictions https://t.co/aZVeEL2oGU
"Many of the people committing violence at these rallies have been conditioned to believe that law enforcement will allow it to happen. They believe they’re the shock troops of the US...It’s hard to put that back into the bottle.” https://t.co/aZVeEL2oGU
@VeraMBergen @thegrugq So, they stayed in the Tacti-Cool stage with all the gear, but nothing else?
@VeraMBergen @MacWBishop Secretary Napolitano warned them about this a long time ago. They chastised her for going after veterans. Give me a break. DHS and FOJ now need to go after these people like they were al quaeda...
@VeraMBergen @TIME The most dangerous threat to our republic, and we let it happen. No tolerance for sedition or treason. No more tolerance for abusing our democratic institutions. No more tolerance for GOP reality denialism. We cannot survive if one side refuses to play by the rules.
@VeraMBergen @TIME they're ill equipped? yeah i'm ill equipped to snitch on my friends too.
@VeraMBergen @TIME Because you have POTUS to have his men to have easy access on his command when time comes.
@VeraMBergen @joncoopertweets "In their jurisdictions" is an issue. "In their ranks" might be a bigger one.
