Federal agents' use of force at protests faces internal U.S. government probes

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said his office would look specifically at whether officers in Portland had proper identification and if they complied with federal policies on using force in law enforcement, in a case that could lead to criminal charges. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, part of the Department of Homeland Security, has come under fire after videos surfaced online that appeared to show camouflaged officers in Portland carrying guns without clear insignia on their uniforms identifying them as legitimate law enforcement officers.

Department of Homeland Security Inspector General Joseph Cuffari opened an investigation into allegations that DHS officers on July 15 improperly detained and transported protesters in Portland, according to a letter he sent to congressional lawmakers.The Justice Department inquiries could lead to vastly different outcomes.

Everything is correct. Someone has to fight back the outrageous scumbags. These are not peaceful Protestants, but militant vandals.

Federal force to quell local People's force. Very very unrealistic. When realism prevails force dissipates.

Shame on them! Nazi SS were just following orders also!

Dems want to investigate everything but that’s fine, that’s called over site until Dems use it for political advantage

No, they face a Democrat probe.....get your shot right

imagine the world where police were never allowed to use force protect law abiding citizens from animals..that's the choice we face here

🙏LORD, we thank You for our military. Bless them & their families for their sacrifice. Renew their strength & courage. Guard them as they protect us. Give them wisdom & favor, shine your grace upon them, allow them to show mercy. Hem them in all around w Your Almighty Hand!🙏

🛑 STOP! 🛑 Calling them protests FACT: it’s rioting, looting, vandalism, arson, murder, terrorism from those who seek to destroy America, our history, our Constitution, our very hard-fought hard-won freedoms Have the integrity to speak truth!

Who does the DOJ watchdog report to? In the end it is Himmler himself, Bill Barr, that will either file it in file 13, or fire the watchdog.

Nice, do what you had done in Iraq

Dammit, Reuters! They are NOT “protests.” They are riots!

Riots, not protests. Stop the lies.

Let me fix your headline a little for you because I know you want to be accurate. Federal agents’ use force against RIOTERS WHO WERE TRYING TO BURN DOWN COURTHOUSE WITH PEOPLE INSIDE . Your welcome

The Governor's of states being invaded by Federal 'Police' should call out the National Guard to protect their citizen protestors. This would stop illegal federal meddling, and go a long way towards winning the protestors trust. IMO. 🧐

good. I like that the IG made it public. Much harder for Barr and Trump to fire him now.

Talk about the endless violence that Trump has finally brought to an end. Talk about the federal properties, businesses, etc that we’re destroyed because of the news spreading hate and fear. Stop this nonsense and vote Trump.

America the modern Roman Empire guess what happens next...

The minivan gestapo

Love it!!

This is sick

The new american way is creepy. Skip it, please ...

Nazi browncoats hard at work.

There is people they want them to destroy everything!!!

Looks like a sci-fi horror movie.

Looks like its time for another purging of Inspector Generals. realdonaldtrump can't have them doing their jobs.

Communist protesters are criminals

An organization does wrong and investigates itself Seems odd

It's a 'Gestapo' force being run by Trump, Ken Cuccinelli and Bill Barr. It's unconventional and they should be prosecuted under Article III of the Constitution. ALL OF THEM!!!!

These goon squads are accomplishing nothing but making bad situations worse. Trump sent them out so he could look tough. Not working. He wanted to send the troops, but the generals told him: 'Not gonna happen.'

Look out! Trump will try to fire those of whom are investigating!

They are not federal agents. They are domestic terrorists.

😡😡🖕
