Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf

I bet he gets all the she-wolves.

“Federal forces shot an unarmed protester in the face,” Merkely

I'm pretty sure they're talking about the incident below in which someone got hit in the face with I believe a rubber bullet (they say impact munition, I'm not exactly sure if that's lingo from rubber bullet).

I'm not a fan of the idea of federal officers kidnapping people off the street, I believe in respecting their first amendment right to peacefully assemble however I also see a situation where they are trying to police an area and restore calm to a place that is essentially a war zone. It seems like they are trying to arrest people but because the court house is no longer operational and the local police have been given orders not to intervene so they're just trying to get people off the streets temporarily because that's all they can do without transporting them to the nearest federal prison.
