Title is misleading. He mentioned federal law enforcement specifically because when he tried to use the military in 2020 they told him to fuck off. It is certainly possible to make a force out of cops that’s a distinction without a difference to the people being taken but the distinction is very important because if the military does go for Trump then the course back to democracy becomes very bloody. A bunch of cops are much more like bullies, liable to stand down in the face of local ire.

You mean like Cop City?
Yup
All true, except your claim that the title is misleading.
Federal forces reads as indicting the cops and military to me. That’s why I think it’s misleading.
You reading more into it than it says is misunderstanding, but not misleading.
Sure, except why use the phrase federal forces instead of federal law enforcement? Unless you’re trying to invoke images of both?
