Isn't there a law against this? Not that Cheetoface cares about those...

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 8 points 2 days ago

Somehow the criminal pedophile rapist doesn't care about the law. Maybe if they vote for him the third time he will keep his promises

Posse Comitatus:

https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/posse-comitatus-act-explained

What does the Posse Comitatus Act say?

The Posse Comitatus Act consists of just one sentence: “Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”

In practice, this means that members of the military who are subject to the law may not participate in civilian law enforcement unless doing so is expressly authorized by a statute or the Constitution.

700 Marines ordered to assist in Los Angeles

A U.S. official confirmed 700 Marines from Twentynine Palms, California, have been ordered to assist in Los Angeles. They are expected to arrive over the next 24 hours.

The Marines are from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, California, whom U.S. Northern Command had said Sunday were on a "prepared to deploy status" if the Defense Department needed them.

They will join 300 California National Guardsmen who are on Title 10 federalized active duty status in California. Those National Guardsmen were mobilized by Trump through Title 10 authorities and are under the command of U.S. Northern Command.

"We'll see what happens. I mean, I think we have it very well under control. I think it would have been a very bad situation. It was heading in the wrong direction. It's now heading in the right direction," President Donald Trump told ABC News' Karen Travers.

Trump left his tinydick phylactery in Los Angeles and sent the people who would have been correctly convicted at the Nuremberg Trials to try to find it, but he has to keep sending more because it is so small.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 19 points 2 days ago

Which they are not allowed to do.

Did he suspend the Posse Comitatus Act and no one reported it?

Piece of shit traitor. America will swallow him whole when this is over.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I really wish that the bad guys always get what they deserve. Reality tells another story though.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (3 children)

what stops a member of the armed services from denying a command or order if it is unlawful? what about if it may be unlawful? (ie needs to be proven as such but “right now” just smells unlawful?)

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Officially the guidance is to comply but document and raise the question after...

Unofficially if you refuse and make it clear you're taking the court martial and chain of command folds.

With this situation the real question is if they standby and watch ICE/cops abuse citizens, or if they interject and stop the violent side.

The military has much higher standards on what acceptable.

Right... Because you need 700 highly trained military personnel to deal with civilians.

Not American so could be wrong, but there's a law that they can't do police services unless activated by the state not the president so that will be interesting

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 days ago

Cool and normal! 😬
