Something dangerous is taking shape within the Department of Homeland Security.

We got our first glimpse of it last week in Oregon, when unidentified federal agents clad in camouflage and tactical gear descended on Portland, beat and tear-gassed protesters and pulled others into unmarked vehicles for arrest and questioning.

Apparently cobbled together using personnel from Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard, these “rapid deployment teams” are formally tasked with securing federal buildings from graffiti and vandalism in tandem with the Federal Protective Agency, which is ordinarily responsible for the job. But they’re being used to suppress protests in what appears to be an election year gambit by the Trump administration to create images of disorder and chaos on which the president can then campaign. “This political theater from President Trump has nothing to do with public safety,” Kate Brown, the Democratic governor of Oregon, said last week. “Trump is looking for a confrontation in Oregon in the hopes of winning political points in Ohio or Iowa.”

соглашусь, опасное- именно тем, что "шифруются".

а не могут ли протестующие себя обезопасить не подвергая вандализму федеральные здания и ограничиваясь только недвижимостью штата и города?

с тем что у нас есть "неоправданная жестокость полицейского, судебного, тюремного и, вообще говоря, государственного насилия" согласен
государственное вмешательство надо приструнить

но это не причина погромов
повод
но не причина
