Today in Labor History July 1, 1944: Willem Arondeus, a gay, Dutch, anti-Nazi resistance fighter was executed by the occupation forces, along with eleven others, for bombing the Amsterdam public records office in order to prevent Nazis from identifying Dutch Jews and others wanted by the Gestapo. His final words were: "Tell people that homosexuals are not cowards."

Per Idrees Ali of Reuters:

The #troops are authorized [by whom? Not by law] to detain people who pose a threat to federal personnel or property, but only until #LawEnforcement can arrest them.

The incident took place at the Wilshire Federal Building in #LosAngeles where #Marines took charge of the mission to protect the building earlier on Friday, in a rare domestic use of US #troops after days of #protests over #immigration raids.

Well, the #PosseComitatusAct has officially been violated.

#NationalGuard troops have detained #civilians in #LAprotests, commander says

National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the #LosAngeles #protests over #immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to #LawEnforcement [the 30 second rule is only for food fools].

A MSNBC reporter on the scene said the #NationalGuard fired the #TearGas when #protesters were only approaching them. Approaching. That’s it. No other provocation.

🚨🚨 #NationalGuard members or other agents, it’s not clear which, just fired what appeared to be #TearGas at the crowd outside the detention center in downtown #LosAngeles, scattering #protesters who coughed from the smoke. Others helped them wash out their eyes.

At least one protester was hit by a #RubberBullet.

“If they spit, we hit.”

That is 100% NOT how law enforcement is supposed to respond.

The #UseOfForce is limited by #proportionality.
