Philadelphia's top prosecutor says he's ready to 'fight fascism' and will take legal action against federal law enforcement officers sent to enforce the law as BLM protests continue to rage across the city.
"My dad volunteered and served in World War II to fight fascism, like most of my uncles, so we would not have an American president brutalizing and kidnapping Americans for exercising their constitutional rights and trying to make America a better place, which is what patriots do," Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner told Bloomberg CityLab in an interview published Wednesday.
"Anyone, including federal law enforcement, who unlawfully assaults and kidnaps people will face criminal charges from my office," he added.
President Trump suggested this week that he would deploy federal agents in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore and Milwaukee after Homeland Security officers were deployed to Portland, Oregon - where they came under fire for grabbing protesters off the street and detaining them in what Trump described as a "fantastic job."
Trump says the troops are necessary to maintain order and protect federal property, in what Elizabeth Goitein of the Brennan Center for Justice said was a pretext to have federal agents supplant local police.
In short, the use of a secret federal paramilitary force in Portland (and soon Chicago and likely other cities) is every bit the abuse of power that it appears to be. And it’s an abuse we can expect to see again in November if the administration isn’t called to account. 14/14— Elizabeth Goitein (@LizaGoitein) July 21, 2020

Now that there is a lawman. Condoning rioters, not protesters, rioters. He has no business in office or the country for that matter.
A civil war is COMING.
Good luck with that you liberal Soros funded communist
DA says that he'll prosecute Federal officers. Yeah, sure. Who's going to arrest them, Larry? You? Hahahaha!
Can't wait to see this unfold. Get your popcorn ready.
I say they start with your treasonous ass fool. A Stick upside the head and taking back your participation trophys back be the best start . This is way beyond peaceful protesting its outright sedition and treason. Your open mouth and action speak of your disdain for the lawabiding working class. But insist on protecting outright armed hostile racist insurection.
This DA is Derelict in duty. Failure to protect lawful citizens from Burn Loot and Murder rioters is criminal and there should be a federal indictment and immediate removal from office. They are not peaceful protestors.
They are criminal agitators killing people and destroying Government and private property without cause under false pretense.
They are not patriots and they are not fighting fascism, they are the fascists.
Threatening Law enforcement for doing their jobs should just get you a rubber bullet to the head and a snout full of gas.
Ok we know. Please post something different
"take legal action against federal law enforcement officers sent to enforce the law"
Think about that statement for a minute, then tell me the DA has not lost his mind.
Don’t believe the State will override Federal Law Enforcement......should be told to assist the Federal Law Officers!
These are Soros funded thugs in office.
