Is it normal for a law enforcement officer to post something like this

we're getting real close to another kent state massacre

Jeeesus, what steep this slippery slope is...that is one of the biggest teller of a fascistic state; state and militia co-mingled...

Way back in the start of the first T term the press was struggling with the concept of whether a tweet was or was not an official communication.

The press secretary said clearly the answer was yes.

And that opens the door for this. An open call for violence from an official account.

I'm posting this reply way too often lately: ""Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." — Frank Wilhoit, composer

Sounds more like White Hood County.

For many of us on the academic and research side, the fear wasn’t just that paramilitary forces would co mingle with law enforcement, but that law-enforcement would start to call on paramilitary forces against the population. And that is exactly what this is. It is an explicit call for violence.

Yeah this is already happening at the Tesla takedown protests, I've personally witnessed it

Get y’all a gun.

Was waiting to have this confirmed, but now it has been the sheriff calling for counter protests, and calling on Paramilitary forces is himself a member of a terrorist group that had an integral part in the attempted overthrow the government on j6 https://bsky.app/profile/reportbywilson.bsky.social/post/3llrncayats2o

Something I wrote about and spoke heavily about late last fall was the Republicans use of surrogate violence and surrogate actors in place of the state to achieve their goals through plausibly deniable violence and using that as pretext for further violence and crackdown. This is that in action.

javajj.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yep. Think that's the plan 🤔 😡

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•12 days ago

The use of this kind of surrogate violence, and this kind of threat is multiprong, but the initial use is that as a tool of terror And they are hoping that the fear they cause by putting this message out stops pushback We are going to have to push through the fear the only way out now is through

Seems like blowing up his phone line might be a good idea ?

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•12 days ago

He is literally an Oathkeeper he won’t care if you call.

cindycoffell.bsky.social•12 days ago

Awesome. Should I wear a bullet proof vest to sat protest or just accept that I’ve had a good life now. I’m done processing my grief.

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•12 days ago

I mean, I wear level four body armor anytime I go to a protest after 2020

jeffreyhops.bsky.social•12 days ago

that is very wise. Ever since Charlottesville, it's unpredictable what might happen to people who gather in the name of compassion, tolerance and peace.

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•12 days ago

2020 for me was very different as I live in Minneapolis and was doing armed community defense when the police let the city be overrun by literal Nazis and klan members

cindycoffell.bsky.social•12 days ago

Local gun shop?

brainnotonyet.bsky.social•12 days ago

It depends on your area but more important than the bulletproof vest is carry a tourniquet and find a local resource for a stop bleed class if you can.

We’ll see this before the end of summer, if not sooner.
