This isn't going to stop with Washington, D.C. or Chicago. Also, taking >100 FBI agents off of whatever they are doing and assigning them as temporary beat cops in DC has to be the dumbest, most wasteful and demoralizing use of federal law enforcement I've seen in a while. The one thing you can be sure about is that the stated reason for these actions -- cracking down on crime -- is not in fact the goal. You know it's not, because that's what they said was the reason.
@briankrebs@infosec.exchange hanging onto a thread of hope that he canβt follow through on anything and his low IQ circus of a cabinet screws it up π€
@briankrebs@infosec.exchange
If Trump cared about crime in D.C. he would not have pardoned hundreds of convicted Jan 6th criminals
@briankrebs@infosec.exchange I feel like this is designed to create a militarized buffer zone around the White House to make protests/unrest/attempts against Trump more difficult
@briankrebs@infosec.exchange I'd be less worried about the dumbness and wastefulness and more frigging alarmed that this is following the 1933 nazification playbook... (I know that you are, but just saying it out loud)

Obviously not the right reason
@briankrebs@infosec.exchange Every cop should refuse to serve this felon.
@briankrebs@infosec.exchange Aside from which Mr. Trump's claims about DC crime are complete bullshit.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange ya guys just be ready.
@briankrebs@infosec.exchange DC crime is at a 30-year LOW. There is NO EMERGENCY. Trump is desperate to distract from Epstein and economic disaster. This is the precursor to martial law and an βemergencyβ excuse to cancel elections. #MAGA #project2025 #martiallaw #fascism #resist #resistance
@briankrebs@infosec.exchange they didnβt even do this during the capital riotπ€―

@johndgriffith@twit.social Exactly. He's about 1,678 days late in calling in the National Guard to DC.
@aka_quant_noir@hcommons.social I'm sure some will, and that will further help him weed out non-loyalists.
