We need to know if anyone is verifying the claims by “acting” director Chad Wolf about injuries to the DHS deputized paramilitary mercs in Portland. #Gaslighting is a standard tool of standard tools like Chad — and virtually everyone associated with Trump — so getting details of claimed injuries is important.
Not only can it help protesters self-police to minimize damage, destruction, and unnecessary injuries but it can also help ensure that further color-of-law actions taken in the expanding over-extended directives of the federal agencies are kept in check before Trump attempts to declare martial law or invoke the Insurrection Act.
So, along that line of thought, I posted the following on Twitter and on Facebook in response to a tweet by Chad where he made some claims which ~could~ be true, or could be bullshit.
First, Chad’s tweet:
Here’s my response — I’m copying it from my FB post, as that’s where it all exists together as opposed to from Twitter where it’s multiple tweets:
"Last night six DHS law enforcement officers were injured in Portland."
- DHS Chad Wolf
Really, Chad? Or were they deputized mercs under contract? Did they shoot/stun/gas themselves or each other?
"To be clear, criminals assaulted FEDERAL officers on FEDERAL property"
FEDERAL Property? So *not* the streets of Portland, but on federal courthouse grounds or inside it?
To be clear: are you sure the deputized mercs under contract to DHS didn't injured themselves/each other?
What were the injuries? Where are the incident reports? When did it happen?
#Details
There's a saying "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" which comes to mind whenever I see whining under color of official commentary from
#IncompetentAssholes like @DHS_Wolf.
to ask if they've seen any incident or after-action reports about alleged "injuries" acting director of
Department of Homeland Security Chad Wolf's
#DeputizedMercs may/may not have self-inflicted or may/may not have received *off* Federal property outside their mandate?
Shouldn’t we have some sort of public record of “Federal” injuries — or shouldn’t the authorities in Portland, at least? Let’s try to pull together what we can, at the very least in hope of curbing the chaotic tendencies of the #TrumpShitShow from igniting any further fires of conflict in the run-up to the election.
