FBI Asks Public’s Help With Those Inciting Violence During First Amendment-Protected Peaceful Demonstrations

Press release from the FBI:
FBI

The FBI respects the rights of individuals to peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights. Our mission of protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution is dual and simultaneous, not contradictory.

Accordingly, we are committed to apprehending and charging violent instigators who are exploiting legitimate, peaceful protests and engaging in violations of federal law. The continued violence, potential threat to life, and destruction of property across the United States interferes with the rights and safety of First Amendment-protected peaceful demonstrators, as well as all other citizens.

To help us identify actors who are actively instigating violence in the wake of Mr. George Floyd’s death, the FBI is accepting tips and digital media depicting violent encounters surrounding the civil unrest that is happening throughout the country.

If you witness or have witnessed unlawful violent actions, we urge you to submit any information, photos, or videos that could be relevant to the case at fbi.gov/violence.

You may also call 1-800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324) to verbally report tips and/or information related to this investigation.

Maybe it would be good for peaceful protesters to have spraycans full of orange dye. If they see someone doing vandalism they could spray them with orange dye. Then the perps could no longer act anonymously. Of course those doing so should make sure they have the means to defend themselves, such as pepper spray.

Or say a DC-10 with a full load of fire retardant. Pretty much covers it so to speak.

Where do we sign up? We have a network of anti Antifa and others, who are turning these little animals into law enforcement. Instead of private innocent citizens and shop owners cleaning up, those animals arrested should be forced to clean up their mess. They are hurting us, they are hurting our property, our way of life, everything we you have built is in danger, and many already have been destroyed. They want to force us to live and think the way they do, we would have no rights to free speech or thought. They hit us if we have an NRA hat on, fuck they hit a kid for wearing a red hat. The hat said nothing on it, just a red hat. Fuck these little animals, they violate our rights every day with their hate and violence. If we go to church, they will hurt us? Fuck Antifa, turn them in, harass them at every turn, send them packing.

🕯🌳I’m the first one to agree with you, especially if some are hired locally. Come to Fortuna. But it still doesn’t call for people to destroy other citizens story’s or property,and that’s not being done by the basic protester. You’ve all have agreed that some children around here that have been picked up by the police were raised by dysfunctional parents. Well some of these people are easily manipulated. There some of the ones taking advantage of the protest. And quite frankly you sound like one of the manipulators. 🇺🇸⚖🇺🇸⚖🇺🇸⚖🇺🇸⚖

Would you rather let this play out without the government?
That will also end badly. I’m so anti cop I would just as soon fire the majority of the police force and let this go back to the Wild West, but that won’t end well for anyone now will it? It’s be much simpler without the illusion of government control though, rioters show up to burn your business down, you either let them or stop them. About the same as now but you have to pay less in taxes.

Eureka IS the wild west. I graduated from HSU years ago now and it has always been this way. God awful policing for decades. I’ve had big cops get in my face for complaining about their liberal, hands off attitudes. The current chief is a complete failure. He’s hugging thugs after all. If there is no enforcement there is no law. Grower scum all over the county. Drugs everywhere. Teenage killers. Incredible levels of domestic violence. And the theft! Not to mention drunks in every other doorway. A tweakers paradise when the cops just drive on past. Thanks, libs. You made a green paradise into purgatory.

The riots in California in 92 and the only way he got to deploy them there was because the governor of California asked for them,there is one he could and that’s if he feels that the governor of a specific state is incompetent. The only place he can do it without getting his ass in a frying pan is DC.🖖🕊🌍🐸

I think the FBI should come to the protests and help. They are supposed to be the nation’s top cops. If they come with Federal orders to stop the protests, maybe they can declare martial law since the Governor’s are refusing to take responsibility for cleaning up their states as mayors are refusing to clean up their cities.

“I have witnessed dozens of completely Nonviolent protests turn for the worse every time it’s when cops decide to escalate”

Oh please. I have no doubt that there are some protests that are escalated by the police. That’s clear enough.

But if you actually live in northern California—if you actually live here—you are occupying a complete bubble. Before last week, *every single protest* I’ve seen firsthand (or read about) in the Bay Area (Oakland or SF mainly) that devolved into violence and any rioting (even minor rioting) was precipitated by far left groups, usually Black Bloc and other anarchists or just your garden variety unemployed, malcontented douchebag. Every single one.

No one who’s lived here, is over the age of 25, and who has actually witnessed such events as a bystander in N. California would say what you’ve said. Totally dishonest.

My advice to the FBI is to monitor network news for scenes of violence and then go after the perps whether they are police or not. They might start by arresting Trump for having law enforcement attack peaceful protestors so he could have a photo op in the public park where they were located, and take a look to see which law enforcement officers assaulted and battered the public in violation of the First Amendment, and standard criminal laws of the US. Three cheers for Arlington County for withdrawing its officers from this abuse of police authority.

I favor arresting people destroying or stealing property, and I hope that the FBI turns to investigating them immediately after getting law enforcement to act lawfully. Unlawful police are a more serious problem than unlawful civilians. The police have the potential to do much more harm to the county than run of the mill vandals and thieves.

So FBI, clean up the police and national guard, then turn to everyone else. And President Trump don’t complaint of the mote in your neighbor’s eye while ignoring the beam in your own.

You can count on less than one hand the peaceful protests in this country. And barely one finger the semi peaceful protests in Humboldt. Anyone who believes otherwise is being dishonest and deceptive. That is, of course, the norm for liberals. I would rather stand with Trump and his law and order Presidency and bring in the whole military if needed to end the violence these thugs are committing. Furthermore, while they are out there they could go to the gang infested liberal cities and capture violent gangs, drug dealers, traffickers, and any other kind of hideous criminals. Then they could go to the southern border and put a stop to drug dealers and traffickers coming across the border as well as illegal immigrants. Somebody has to put on some big boy pants and end this mayhem. The Governor sure doesn’t want to do that.

Willie bray, If he invokes the Insurrection act of 1807 he can..

The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255; prior to 2016, 10 U.S.C. §§ 331–335) that governs the ability of the president of the United States to deploy military troops within the United States to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, and rebellion.

🕯🌳Ok I do know about this but will this serve a purpose, I don’t think so,in fact its going to make him look more like an Authoritarian than ever. He had the protesters cleared from in front of a church just for a photo oop holding a bible. That’s probably the closest he’s been to a church in his life. When he called the family of the man that got killed like all his speeches he turn it into about himself and didn’t even give the family a chance to voice there views. 🌍🐸🕊🖖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

There are more than 2 groups in this mess.

1 good cops
2 bad cops
3 real protestors
4 looters and thugs
5 antifa
6 democratic politicians
7 republican politicians
8 Hollywood types financially supporting antifa bail outs

5 & 6 are the most dangerous

Go to an antifa site or look at their handbook they want to destroy the country.
They also operate in the EU to destroy the EU countries.

The democratic politicians wants their votes so they will tolerate and or assist antifa’s agenda. Kieth Ellison even promotes their handbook.

Holly wood is just stupid and thinks they are antifas friend but will be the next victim when no longer needed for support.

Antifa is using George Floyd and his supporters for cover.
They have been operating in Portland for years.

They need to be stopped no matter what it takes.
They are laughing at us arguing with each other while
they burn us to the ground.

You forgot the crazy white supremacists. They’ve been adding fuel to the fire and stirring the pot, masquerading as anti-fascist groups.

See, for example, the white nationalist group Identity Evropa’s creation of a fake Twitter account antifa_us used to incite violence at the recent demonstrations:

By Baxter Dmitry, News Punch
Excerpts:
We knew from recent violent incidents that it’s highly likely the groups behind the riots are domestic terrorists, revolutionary communists, US based radical Islamist organizations and others related to the Democrat Party. Now we have more evidence this is the case.
New York City’s Marxist Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daughter was arrested at a Manhattan protest hotspot on Saturday night, as Mayor de Blasio admits organized and violent agitators from out of the city have infiltrated the protests.

Chiara de Blasio had allegedly been blocking traffic at a protest hotspot on Broadway where police cars were getting burned and was arrested after refusing to move, the source said.

“That was a real hotspot, police cars were getting burned there, people were throwing and yelling, fighting with cops. There were thousands of people in that area at that time,” the source said.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daughter Chiara de Blasio was arrested on Saturday night.
NYPost report: Chiara de Blasio, 25, was taken into custody around 10:30 p.m. Saturday after police declared an unlawful assembly at 12th Street and Broadway in Lower Manhattan, sources said.
“We appreciate and respect all peaceful protests, but now it is time for people to go home,” de Blasio said at a press conference at 11:30 p.m. at the NYC Emergency Management headquarters in Downtown Brooklyn.

On Sunday, the mayor declared that anarchist agitators with an “explicit agenda of violence” have co-opted police-brutality protests for destruction.

“It is a small number of people. It is well organized, even though many of the people are associated with the anarchist movement,” de Blasio said in a City Hall press briefing of the outside opportunists he blamed for the now-nationwide demonstrations devolving into chaos.

“Some come from outside of the cities. Some are from inside the city. Some are from the neighborhoods where the protests take place. Some are not,” he continued, without detailing where the interlopers were from.

Meanwhile, Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter Isra Hirsi was caught retweeting a list of supplies for “comrades” who are rioting in Minneapolis.

Isra Hirsi is the co-founder of US Youth Climate Strike and her Twitter bio says she ‘hates capitalism.’

Ilhan Omar’s daughter retweeted a list of needed supplies for “comrades” who are rioting in Minneapolis. The Twin Cities DSA asks for ply wood, sticks, rackets and more.

Similar tweets supporting the rioters were being sent by Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz’s daughter – Hope Walz. She deleted her account after she was caught sending intel to rioters.

Of course Democrats, domestic terrorists, communists, anarchists and radical Islamists are behind the riots, violence and destruction around the US. They just don’t like America!

Apple to Looters: We Are Tracking Your Stolen iPhones

perfect! lol

Good. The looters should be all arrested and jailed…unless the Biden campaign staff members don’t get to them first, by paying their bail and assisting them in avoiding prosecution.

Via NY Post.

Apple has an eerie message for the looters who have pillaged its stores during recent protests: We’re watching you.

Thieves who made off with iPhones from ransacked Apple retail locations in recent days quickly learned that the gadgets were loaded with special security software, as they displayed a message on their screens indicating that their locations were being monitored.

“Please return to Apple Walnut Street,” read the onscreen message of an iPhone stolen from an Apple store in Philadelphia, according to social media posts. “This device has been disabled and is being tracked. Local authorities will be alerted.”….

George Floyd protesters condemn ‘opportunistic’ looting and violence
