Of course, law enforcement leaders do not want to focus on the political identities of those who could cause violence. Don’t want to expose that the violence will originate from the abortion supporters, nor did Politico consider highlighting that it will be leftists starting the violence, as has already happened in Los Angeles
Law enforcement officials brace for potential violence around SCOTUS draft opinion
Law enforcement officials across the country are preparing for unrest in the wake of the Supreme Court’s anticipated reversal of Roe v. Wade. On Wednesday, more than 150 officials nationwide joined a call to discuss concerns about growing threats in the wake of the news, including potential danger to Supreme Court justices.
The National Fusion Center Association, representing dozens of intelligence-sharing hubs around the country, hosted the call, which included state and local law enforcement officials along with officials from the FBI and Department of Homeland Security. The call focused on threats that have metastasized in the wake of POLITICO’s publication of an initial draft opinion that indicates the Supreme Court could overturn federal abortion protections, according to two people on the call who described it to POLITICO.
The officials’ concerns highlight just how tense the climate has become as the national conversation about abortion rights reaches new intensity. The same fusion center association convened a similar call bracing for extremist threats just a few days before the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Participants in Wednesday’s call raised concerns that protesters could clash with counter-protesters or face attacks from lone extremists. They did not focus on the ideological views of people involved in violent attacks or First Amendment-protected protesting.
If Roe is overturned, why would anti-abortion protesters get violent? Except in response to the pro-abortion “protesters” getting violent. And they will get violent. With law enforcement blowing off all the violence from BLM/Antifa they will feel emboldened to engage in plenty of violence.
But they did home in on the federal judiciary — including both the Supreme Court’s nine justices and the hundreds of federal judges around the country — as a potential increasing target of violence.
Which ideological view would attack them? Oh, wait, Politico uses far left material
And on May 4, SITE Intelligence Group — a private organization that shares threat information with a host of law enforcement agencies — released a report detailing calls for violence targeted at people protesting the expected ruling.
“Users on far-right, pro-Trump forum ‘The Donald’ encouraged members to violently oppose pro-abortion protesters demonstrating against the leaked Supreme Court draft signaling an overturn of Roe v. Wade,” reads the bulletin. “Reacting to the headline ‘Violence Breaks out at Pro-Abortion Protest After Democrat Politicians Call to ‘Fight,’’ users made threats and called for police to harm protesters.”
So, they’re going to blame the violence started by the pro-abortion crowd on Republicans. There’s your narrative.
Rita Katz, the head of SITE Intelligence Group, told POLITICO that misogyny is prevalent on the violent far right.
“For far-right extremists, the focus on Roe v. Wade isn’t simply about religion or conventional debates about ‘when life starts,’” she said. “It’s about the toxic resentment of feminism that unites the entire spectrum of these movements, from Neo-Nazis to QAnon.”
See? Of course, these folks in no way represent the Republican party. Antifa and their brethren are the Democratic Party base.
