100%, but I just gotta say that having a constitutional crisis over which government is in charge of cracking down on the protests against secret police abducting people is like painfully American
However just an hour after Trump’s post, Bass tweeted: “I want to thank LAPD and local law enforcement for their work tonight. I also want to thank Gavin Newsom for his support
They are "there". But they are not deployed or being used.
Everything we're seeing now is made up of federal law enforcement. Homeland Security/ICE/FBI/DEA wearing military uniforms. It's a giant LARP to give the appearance of troops to try and escalate.
LAPD is just there to get in on the "fun."
Edit: They are now at the detention facility it appears. Fuck this shit.
If history is anything to go by, especially recent history, then the plan is a convoluted web of "looking shocked" then some serious "doing nothing about it".
After being called out about being lazy and complacent they'll mention about doing some useless shit such as peaceful protests etc etc but then they will do more nothing.
In a few years time the rest of the world will be laughing at how easily a failed 'business' 'man' and reality TV 'star' who was also a successful racist, paedo, convicted rapist, con man and 34 times felon took over the whole country in just a few months without a much of a fucking whimper from the populace. Pathetic, really.
Edit:
I put the man part of business man in quotes due to him being shit at business and shit at being a man.
