But, if something major occurs at any of the protests, we will try to put up something on that particular incident.

Exclusive: US Marines carry out first known detention of civilian in Los Angeles, video shows

  • Marines temporarily detained civilian at Wilshire Federal Building
  • Troops authorized to detain threats to federal personnel or property

Speaking to reporters after he was released, the civilian identified himself as Marcos Leao, 27. Leao said he was an Army veteran on his way to an office of the Department of Veterans Affairs when he crossed a yellow tape boundary and was asked to stop.

Leao, who gained his U.S. citizenship through military service, said he was treated “very fairly.”

“They’re just doing their job,” said Leao, who is of Angolan and Portuguese descent.

This Did Not Age Well:

ICYMI — Some harsh self-criticism here: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.”(He was talking about Obama 😬)
