The federal authorities deploys U.S. navy personnel, not simply the Nationwide Guard, but additionally the U.S. Marines, to tamp down protests by its personal residents. Op-ed creator Sakara Remmu sees the issue being Seattle’s police chief signaling he’ll defend “Seattle residents’ First Modification rights in opposition to the overreach of the federal authorities”? That’s the issue? The place in historical past has being silent within the presence of fascism confirmed helpful to democracy? No, thanks.
Thanks, Chief Shon Barnes. Your expressed braveness is welcomed and appreciated.
