DOJ designates New York City as an Anarchist Jurisdiction (Also Portland & Seattle)

During the riots in Kenosha. At least the one with the fire was. The burned out building was later.

So you used photos from Kenosha to demonstrate the violence in three other cities?

It's starting to look as if they're finally starting to crack down on it. Looks like their designation is spurring them into action: New York police arrest 86 anti-ICE protesters - CNN

The arrests happened on Saturday.

The designation happened yesterday.

So...no, unless they can tell the future, it didn’t. But I’m sure that’ll be Trump’s story.

Is this the result of peaceful protest?

Kenosha's own governing agencies acknowledged that there were peaceful protest but I see you're not capable of doing the same...okay...got it. There's nothing more here for me to talk about with you...Nah...nothing.

just the other day, you said it was preferable for them to kneel on the neck of an unconscious man until he died than it would be for them to risk getting shot.

Minneapolis: Defund the police/Where are the police?

Aldebaran said:

If you think that, then you must not have been watching the news when riots were happening in Minneapolis, Kenosha, Seattle, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Portland, just to name a few in this country alone.

You're right. I have not been watching the same "news" clips as you have....perhaps you can provide evidence that leaders in these cities are perpetrating violence?

That would be in the various legal codes of the several states. The mandates are all being issued based on authority given the governors by state law. In this case, Congress has not given the President to declare a city a "anarchist jurisdiction" and then deny federal funds based on that.

I don’t think it’s Federal funds that are at issue here, but whether the Feds “feel the need” to inform “the locals” about sending boots-on-the-ground, to quell violence.
After all, nothing says “we are the law & order” administration” quite like sending in “the law” to obtain “order”.

Naming cities is hardly ruling.
Besides, it's not the president's job to "rule", even though Obama originally thought it was when he first entered office.

Boy, is opposite!

Wake up, California, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, Illinois and New York all voted democrat. As far as Trump is concerned you can't get any more violent than that.

So violence from the police towards peaceful protesters is fine, to be commended?

New York City is one of three places that "have permitted violence and destruction of property to persist and have refused to undertake reasonable measures to counteract criminal activities," leading to its designation as an "anarchist jurisdiction," the Justice Department said Monday.

Thanks, and if it came down to actually getting shot, I'd defend myself as well. That sounds to me much more like what was meat by the comment.

What truth would that be?

The truth that the local government in those three cities has allowed chaos and destruction instead of maintaining the proper order their citizens required to live productive and peaceful lives. order.

At what point was the Federal government granted oversight to approve or disapprove of local enforcement of local issues?

What law or Constitutional proscription denies the Executive Branch of the Federal Government the ability to give their opinion of the job local law enforcement is doing. Did you have a problem with the Obama administration, not merely giving their opinion, but becoming directly involved in investigation of local law enforcement that it suspected was not properly handling their duties ? As in that case, When people's civil rights are being allowed to be violated by local government it is the duty of the Executive to take action to uphold federal civil rights law. Criticizing those three local jurisdictions for not safeguarding the civil rights of their citizens to be secure in their property and not be intimidarted by gangs of rioters is no where near as aggressive an approach as that of the Obama administration's direct involvement concerning one or two specific cases of law enforcement not seeing to it that a citizen was afforded his civil rights.
