The insurrection that wasn’t, and other Trump fantasies

In order to hear what our national leaders say, Los Angeles is in chaos and our Governor and Mayor go to lunch with the police, and he happily ignoring reality while the city is burning.

“These radical left protests, provocative and frequently paid headings Tolerance“President Trump wrote on social media shortly after ordering the national guards to our streets.

On Saturday, 2,000 national guard troops to be deployed in LA for at least 60 days, “violence protests or violence actions directly prevented the execution of laws, the US government is a rebellion against the authority of the authority,” he wrote.

Leave your Matcha Lattes and trade on your boots on your Birkenstock for the nation. Apparently our revolution, only an experienced army can stop us. The only problem is, of course, the fact that Los Angeles is not in chaos on this special sunny Sunday, and the majority of Angelenos are trying to enjoy the weekend without a federal prisoner.

Trump’s note will enter the history books as a moment when the US has expanded to put a military force for civilians under the control of the presidential power. Although it was not similar, UC Berkeley Dean of the Law Faculty Erwin Chezerinsky said that it was “striking”.

Moreover, the distribution is based on a lie. Yes, Federal immigrant officials have gathered regularly people in criminals and deportation scans and some violence in the last few days. If you keep the camera angle tight in these protests, it looks terrible, as many media organizations do.

Rocks are thrown, even Molotov cocktails. Masked protesters are beaten in concrete columns outside a federal building in the city center. Cars are on fire.

All of this should be arrested by local police and sheriffs, who are more terrible and responsible, with a few hundred protesters.

However, 99% of this city is as usual, brunches and beach walks, church and yoga lessons. And even in a few pockets where protests took place like a walk in the city center on Sunday, this Los Angeles – I saw more chaos after a Lakers game.

Jessica Levinson, a law professor at Loyola Law Faculty, told my colleague Seema Mehta that a president’s seizure of troops’ seizure of the troops is extremely unusual, he was not seen and perhaps illegal. After the Rodney King decision in 1992, he was during the Los Angeles rebellions.

“One of the exceptions is when the federal government’s federal laws are the violence and inadequacy of implementation,” Levinon said. “And the president is discussing exactly.”

My brave colleagues in this article have been on the ground since the first protests began, and as their reports have shown, the majority of what happened is peaceful and isolated.

Even the cops agree. And seriously, there is no rebellion when the cops accept – no rebellion.

Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement on Saturday night, “The demonstrations in the city of Los Angeles remained peaceful and we praise those who apply the first change rights responsibly,” he said.

Nevertheless, until Sunday morning, these troops began to come with full military equipment (probably less fatal ammunition) with guns. US Northern Command 79. Infantry Brigade tweeted the war set There are some members on the ground In Los Angeles, more will come more.

“These operations are necessary to stop and reverse the occupation of illegal criminals to the United States.

Also, when planning your week, there is now an outfit code – at least for civilians who want to hide their identity for civilians.

F (F) Now Rom will not be allowed to be worn in protests. These people should hide and why ??? Trump wrote.

All this, Gov. Gavin Newsom said, not to meet an uncommon need, but to produce a crisis. ”

Right – Los Angeles played a leading role in Trump’s battle against Brown people. Logical. We are an immigrant city, from all colors, democratic – and democratic – one. What is it?

Mayor Karen Bass told my colleague Rachel Uranga that his office was trying to talk with the White House and that he tried to talk to them, “There is no need to be a soldier on the ground, but he did not go anywhere.

“This stance, Bass Bass said.

“They want violence,” Newsom added in the market e -mail. “Don’t give them the show they want.”

I’m not sure this is possible. Always bad actors, violence, will be in any protest. And again – they should be arrested.

However, Trump will be laser -oriented on these several people to make an example of this city and increase its power.

Because although this “uprising” is a fantasy, more power dreams seem very real.
