“What I can tell you from my experience as an agent is that BORTAC was created to quell civilian disturbances at the border in 1984. Most of the agents I knew who were in this unit were the most racist, steroid taking agents I knew.” By @BuddJenn https://link.medium.com/TdgDEwk4f8 

“Many were former military who couldn’t get into the special forces for one reason or another. That explains why their tactics were more military than civilian and why they were the most abusive agents in the Patrol.”

“The agency states that they are using Trump’s executive order to defend federal monuments and properties to justify defending the courthouse from citizens destroying it. While that is legal, these agents have been seen and videotaped in the streets and not on federal property.”

“That is not legal and not authorized even by the executive order. This makes their actions illegal.”

“What I see as a former agent, as a former intelligence agent and student of CBP and Border Patrol through the years is a classic operation to create violence by federal agents.”

“This is not to say that some protesters are not antagonizing or throwing water bottles at agents, some are. Obviously, there has been a lot of graffiti and vandalism going on, but those are not violent crimes and should not be met with violence.”

“These agents are expected to follow use of force policies..what I see are a bunch of agents hungry to start a fight. They are intentionally creating chaos. When protesters stand with their arms in the air and refuse to engage, agents start the violent engagement time and again.”

“We’ve seen what I like to call “performance crisis” tactics from this agency and this president before. ..2018, on Thanksgiving Day, current Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott ordered his agents to shoot tear gas and pepper balls into a crowd of mothers and young children ...”

“Now we hear that Trump intends to send more Border Patrol agents into Chicago, Minneapolis and Seattle. Again, when I look at these operations, I see “performance crisis.””

“Trump and Acting Secretary of DHS Chad Wolf want Americans to believe that they are simply responding to protesters forcing their collective hand. I believe however, that this has been planned and gamed out for some time.”

“Note how Trump demands the country open up despite COVID19 infections and deaths going through the roof. We should just all get used to it he says. No big deal. Yet, he refuses to open up the border and allow asylum processing again.”

“He claims to be protecting the nation from the dreaded disease, yet these two positions are in complete opposition. “

“I believe Trump is attempting to sow more chaos and more division among Americans. His “LAW AND ORDER” tweets every day demonstrate this. He is using CBP and Border Patrol agents to create violence, create disorder so that he can then be the one to bring in the order.”

(It’s also a Putinesque move)
