Today, the expansion of Operation Legend was announced in Cleveland, Detroit, and Milwaukee. Operation Legend is a sustained, systematic and coordinated law enforcement initiative in which federal law enforcement agencies work in conjunction with state and local law enforcement officials to fight violent crime. The Operation was first launched on July 8 in Kansas City, Missouri, and expanded on July 22, 2020, to Chicago and Albuquerque.

It cant get violent is no one's there.

We've got to get to the Election, then we can fix things. Getting arrested or shot with a rubber bullet doesn't further your cause. It only gives him a video of chaos in the streets, which is what he wants. Why give him what he wants?

Absolutely unnecessary. It's totally peaceful here and the only thing it's going to do is agitate people. It's like they're looking for trouble.

Makes it much easier to sell savage beatings and violence to the general public. Those white moms in Portland really fucked up their plans.
