The San Francisco district attorney said in an interview that she came up with the strategy after seeing federal agents repeatedly roughing up people in Los Angeles and Chicago.

    That is something I’d expect from the police. If you break the law, the police should be after you. Regardless of who you are.

    Oh joy, now we get to find out that even the California cops are overwhelmingly conservative

    May? I may fly to the fucking moon if am alien comes down and takes me away. I may evolve wings if I live a million years.

    May, in this instance, is a useless fucking word. Use the word will, or stfu.

    District Attorney Jenkins said she did not envision police officers handcuffing federal agents in full view on city streets. Instead, she said, local law enforcement could review camera footage of beatings, if they occur, and try to identify the agent involved. Then, she said, she would ask a judge to sign a warrant for the agent’s arrest and seek to prosecute the agent in court.

    “For me, this is about San Francisco and what I need to do for San Francisco,” she said.

    That could be much easier said than done. Many federal agents are operating in masks and without badges or other identification; a California law barring agents from wearing masks does not take effect until January and even then is quite likely to face legal challenges. And the Trump administration could seek immunity for its officers or ignore the warrants altogether, Ms. Jenkins acknowledged.

    If you’re not going to arrest them on the spot, it’s already a failed plan. They wear masks for exactly this purpose.

    I think we should just sentence anyone who disobeys California law to death immediately

      Really? In California, there is metered parking where it is against the law to park your car somewhere w/o feeding the meter. Should we now just take to summarily executing people who let the meter run out by 1 minute? They disobeyed a law.

        I can see that as an appropriate punishment for that. So long as we beef up our mass transit so that we have 15 minute cities everywhere in CA, not just pockets like IB

      Maybe just those who are in a position of power. For all government employees, both State and Federal. Just make it a catch-all sentence for anything illegal they do.

          Nah too broad. Need a way to know who to skip, maybe something quick to spot, something inherent, easy to see when looking at someone.
