6:29Now PlayingThe federal agents, troops, and regular police officers that are now under Donald Trump’s control in Washington, D.C. really don’t have much to do, and we now have video evidence to prove it. Officers were caught going house to house to harass people to make sure that they were “following the law” and the agents specifically mentioned Trump’s crackdown on “crime” in DC. There is apparently so little crime that officers are almost instigating resistance just to have something to do, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

As the statistics show us the crime rate in Washington DC is at a 30 year low. Nevertheless, Donald Trump sent his Gestapo forces out there to patrol the streets of Washington DC for the next month. We've got the FBI, we've got the National Guard, we've got the Park police, we've got Capitol Police out there. We got the regular beat cops. And of course we also have the Drug Enforcement Agency. All of these groups together have, you know, turned into the roving gangs of, you know, dangerous people that Donald Trump said were already roving the streets of dc but clearly they were not. Donald Trump basically created a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you gotta watch all the gangs walking around with guns, harassing people and threatening them, well now you do because the people with the guns doing the harassing are not gangs. They're not criminals. They're the police that you put on the beat. And a viral video emerged this week showing one of these roving gangs of Donald Trump's Gestapo harassing citizens for committing the offense of smoking a cigarette on their own front porch. Take a look at this video.
How y'all doing today? Y'all stay in that trouble? Yeah. Cool. You got your ID on you check? Uh, no. I live right here. Okay, cool. It is a cigarette. Alright. Did y'all get a call or up about right here? No. So we're, uh, doing checks to keep everybody safe down here, right? Have you ever, you heard of the federal search that Donald Trump's putting out? No. Right? You didn't, you don't file like code three or anything like that, that people putting up. What's up? Yeah, Trump's Trump's got all federal agencies kind of coming together. Seven days of going out. I'm familiar with trying to stop the violent crime, all kind of stuff. So we're out here contacting people, talking to 'em, right? Quality of life defenses, smoking, drinking in public, right? Can't happen outside, right? Most people know that, right? Um, so we're contacting people trying to advise them of the law so they learn, right? And then if there's other stuff going on where it turns into, there's multiple agencies of somebody, there's a shooting and things like that. So there's extra, alright? So we're just out here trying to inform people and educate people. It's not like we're trying to just go grant people and ruin someone's life over a joint or something like that. Alright?
These people were at their own home doing nothing illegal. There was no probable cause. There was nothing that should have made any of those officers stop, but they did. And I think we all know why. It's not because he thought the man was smoking marijuana. If he were, trust me, you'd have known that about four houses down, bud. You could see it. They were on private property. They were not yelling, being loud, there was no noise violations, nothing. You walked up to them because of the color of their skin, and then you demanded that a man on his own property that was not even the suspect of a crime hand over his id. And then when he is like, I live here, man, you kind of got all flustered. Did you catch that in the video when the guy's like, dude, I live here. And the officer's like, ah, yeah, that's what, uh, I don't, I don't, I don't know what to, I don't know what to do.
