Trump Seizes Control Of D.C. Police Department: A Convicted Felon In Charge Of The Cops - Glenn Kirschner [View all]
Donald Trump just ordered the deployment of National Guard soldiers to the streets of the District of Columbia, seized control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, and said he was taking 120 FBI agents out of their current assignments and making them patrol the streets of D.C.
As the Attorney General for the District of Columbia, Brian Schwalb said, as reported by The Hill, "D.C. attorney general: Trump actions 'unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful.'"
This video reviews the law governing Trump's actions, and discusses why his conduct is not only unlawful but also offensive, disrespectful, dangerous, and dictatorial. - Glenn Kirschner - 08/12/2025.
