What’s happening is that certain police aren’t taking their orders from their police chiefs, mayors or governors. They’re taking orders directly from what they hear Trump say. Trump said to use “overwhelming force” and to “dominate,” and so they are. It’s full dictatorial madness

DON'T LOOK AWAY. The cop groped her and when she tried to break away, she was beaten while standing still. THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO CRUSH DISSENT LIKE A DICTATORSHIP

It’s madness. A revolution is coming and it’s being brought on fueled by “the leader of the ‘free’ world” and that wall - that was built today won’t stop it. It’s complete madness.

The question is whether armed forces in D.C. will take orders from their superiors or from Trump's whistles. Esper will not support a coup (?) & he may have the air force behind him which presumably would shift momentum away from the madman

I disagree, they did this shit before trump. This is at the heart of the police system, training, etc.

We need to make sure not to let LIBERAL mayors off the hook. @MayorOfLA has ardently supported the LAPD, despite them absolutely brutalizing protestors. Also, they’re one of the most murderous forces in the nation, but he’s allocated 54% of the budget for the LAPD.

simplypsychology.org/milgram… Stanley Milgram’s obedience experiment may give you some clues. The police are “following orders” without regard for the humans they are hurting.
This is one of the most unamerican tweets I've read in my life. Bravo.
