From the bonus army On July 28, U.S. Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans removed from all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shot at the protestors, and two veterans were wounded and later died. President Herbert Hoover then ordered the U.S. Army to clear the marchers' campsite. Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur commanded a contingent of infantry and cavalry, supported by six tanks. The Bonus Army marchers with their wives and children were driven out, and their shelters and belongings burned.

The move bombing. Monday, May 13, 1985, nearly five hundred police officers, along with city manager Leo Brooks, arrived in force and attempted to clear the building and execute the arrest warrants.[15][32] Nearby houses were evacuated.[3] Water and electricity were shut off in order to force MOVE members out of the house. Commissioner Sambor read a long speech addressed to MOVE members that started with, "Attention MOVE: This is America. You have to abide by the laws of the United States." When the MOVE members did not respond, the police decided to forcibly remove the 13 members from the house,[15] which consisted of eight adults and five children.

There was an armed standoff with police,[6] who lobbed tear gas canisters at the building. A 90-minute gunfight ensued, in which one officer was bruised in the back by gunfire.[33] Police used more than ten thousand rounds of ammunition before Commissioner Sambor ordered that the compound be bombed.[33] From a Pennsylvania State Police helicopter, Philadelphia Police Department Lt. Frank Powell proceeded to drop two one-pound bombs (which the police referred to as "entry devices"[32]) made of FBI-supplied Tovex, a dynamite substitute, targeting a fortified, bunker-like cubicle on the roof of the house.[30]

The resulting explosions ignited a fire from fuel for a gasoline-powered generator stored in the rooftop bunker,[11] killing eleven of the people in the house (John Africa, five other adults, and five children aged 7 to 13). The fire spread and eventually destroyed approximately sixty-five nearby houses.

Which is funny seeing conservatives tend to use these as examples of government over reach yet dont see Trumps action in Portland and his threat to do the same in other liberal cities as anything resembling those action ,, they see it as acceptable

As long as Trump keeps using federal power to allow them to discriminate under the guise of religious freedom or keeps low income housing were it belongs in city's or dismantling government norms or leave their guns alone his supporters will turn a blind eye wishing to return the country to a time that never existed.. except in their imagination.. because they think their way of life is in danger ... it is but by their own hands and they can't even see it happening

aren’t you an example if the government using force in its citizens? prison guard, right? you had weapons
you were allowed to use if you saw the need? seems to have worked out well for you. it’s only problematic when republicans do it?

Jim Correctional officer are not armed 1st off 2nd force fell into 2 categories planned use of force where each member stated their name and position and was on film from the moment the inmate was informed that force and the use of chemical agent was authorized.. and impartical partys were used to avoid force if possible the 2nd was called spontaneous use of force ,, were Corrections officer need to break up a fight between inmates our defend themselves..

But please keep spewing BS about things you clearly have no idea about..

Comparing what I did to snatch and grab operations of Americans citizens detained with out cause speaks volumes you'll go to convince your self Trumps the leader American needs

Can we trade some of the Antifa / Marxists that want Communism types from Portland and send them to Hong Kong? We'll take the HK people rioting for Freedom in trade?

Even swap, heck, I suggest we pay for the airfare.

Spence, I was watching Today show Tues morning, they were interviewing Lori Lightfoot. Lori called out the anarchist agitators injuring the CPD with fireworks and frozen water bottles. I've been trying to find the videos so I could show you but they do not exist. Weird, an entire news segment missing.

Funny, I used the google and the story popped right up. Sounds like a small group of agitators hijacked a peaceful protest and many were rightly arrested. Perhaps we should drop in the 82nd and crack some skulls. I'm sure the highways are unsafe for even armored travel.

The highways just may be blocked with more peaceful protesters. So there is that.

Why would this be news to Jeff when he is so focused on the real story. The passionate Moms group holding signs without rightful attention.
