How shall I ask this---? Does anyone know what the "rules of engagement" will be if law

[Atticus]

enforcement officers are confronted next Tuesday by Trump's thugs bearing weapons?

I'll stop with that.

1. Cops? Trump thugs? How will they interact?

2. Shoot to kill ?

3. I very much doubt his entourage will be a problem

And insurrectionists know that many are in jail, their lives shattered. You don't defeat the rule of law with weapons and violence. It requires smarts. And they're not locked and loaded there either.

6. Only a very few are in jail.

And as for the ones doing some time like 3-5 years (a very very few) they were losers to begin with for the most part. Misdemeanor convictions do not "shatter" anyone's life. No one cares about them.

4. Michael Cohen was asked that question yesterday.

His answer was that if Magats do something stupid they will be making a big mistake. He then said the NY police department has the best police department in the world.

5. You have to wonder though, how many of those cops are Trump thumpers?

Of course, if they get shot at, I suspect that politics will go out the window quicker than a Russian Oligarch.

7. In Manhattan? Not that many Trumpists there.

I don't think that Trump supporters will have a chance to show up with guns. Cops will be out EARLY, maybe all night, monitoring people who show up, if anyone does.
