An open letter to the U.S. Congress Accountability for federal "police"
7 so far! Let’s get to 10 signers! Unidentified federal agents are continuing to use tear gas and unjustified violence on legal protesters. What are you, as my elected representative, doing to stop this fascistic policing of the citizenry? What are you doing to protect our rights? What are you doing to rein in the overreach of the Executive Branch of government?
You must insist that these troops be identified and identifiable. You must insist that, if they are legally deployed military forces, that they adhere to the Geneva Convention. You must insist that, if they are legally employed law enforcement, they adhere to state and federal laws. You must insist that they be held accountable for their actions. You must insist on transparency in who they report to, who is drafting and delivering their orders, and who is determined their mission parameters.
You must insist that the citizenry, exercising their first amendment rights, be protected.
