Mikie Sherrill’s state police riot in Newark is a national disgrace | Will Bunch

New Jersey state troopers meant to protect Newark protesters from ICE are violently shredding the First Amendment instead.

Roughly what happened:

  • A few days ago, Bovino promised something big
  • ICE was being brutal, but not stopping the protests or the hunger strike inside the concentration camps
  • Bovino sent in the Proud Boys, but the protesters ran them off
  • Gov. Sherrill sent in the state police, who attacked the protesters, including those in “free speech zones”

    They support the camps. This all only looks confusing if you refuse to accept that democratic leadership wants them too. The rest is theater.

      I don’t know about “wants them too”. The people in the camps are overwhelmingly democrat supporters, even if they can’t vote.
      I think it is more that doing anything actionable to stop them would likely fail and that would make them look bad. So they don’t want to act because there is nothing for them to gain.
