Americans thought this was going to be used against real terrorists that threaten the US from abroad. Instead the apparatus is being used against US.

Ex-FBI official warns of unprecedented violence from Trump's 'hardcore' supporters​

Former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi cautioned that more than any time in recent history stopping far-right domestic terrorism has been incredibly challenging.

As the former assistant director for counterintelligence, Figliuzzi was among many of those who came together under former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who was in charge of changing the FBI after Sept. 11, 2001.

Oh, wait a minute. I was mistaken.

These are images of the "mostly peaceful" protests that were funded by Democratic donors like George Soros.
