Charles Tillman peanut punches Traitor Trump's illegal orders as Republicans purge the FBI of Agents interested in Justice


        Kash Patel at the behest of on-line rightwing bigots have fired 15-20 FBI agents who dared to "take a knee" during the George Floyd protests in 2020. Now, whether the agents did it in solidarity or to reduce tensions and deescalate the protests is debatable but, what's always important is the message Trump and his cabal of bigots and racists seek to send at every opportunity. You have NO FUCKING RIGHTS any Republican is bound to respect.

Remember the standard Republican response to protests and dissent is to enflame the situation, turn up their violent response to 100%, and engage in non-stop aggression to "neutralize the threat".  This was demonstrated in 2014 when racist Missouri Officers decided to engage in "full-force" combat against demonstrators.

As every seasoned Officer knows, if your response is full hands-on then you have to maintain that level as you can never back down.  So it's best and wisest to mirror force or to engage in dialogue in order to reduce tension and de-escalate the situation.

Republicans want to murder you

Republicans have no intention of deescalation.  Republicans want to escalate confrontation so that they may engage in mass murder.

Charles Tillman was one of the three or four best defenders on the Bears teams of the 2000's, coached by Love Smith, including the team which went to the 2006 Super Bowl.  Tillman holds the NFL record for most forced fumbles in a season with (10) thanks to his laser aimed "Peanut Punch".  It's almost unheard of for a defensive back to be amongst the top NFL players in forced fumbles as only Brain Dawkins and Charles Woodson are in the top 50 all time the rest of the players being all time great linebackers and .   I shook his hand one night while working when he visited a local business;  As strong a grip as Walter Payton.

Tillman joined the FBI after his football career working for 8 years.  And now he's called it quits.  Why?  Because of the unlawful orders being given to FBI Officers from the Trump Administration.

"I didn’t agree with how the administration came in and tried to make individuals do things against their morals. … it didn’t sit right. An example being immigration. Everybody was told, ‘You’re going to go after the most dangerous criminals.’ But what you see on TV and what actually was happening was, people weren’t going after that. Personally that didn’t sit right with me, that didn’t sit right with my conscience. You have the ability to refuse an order.”

"I want to be on the right side of history when it’s all said and done." 

Charles Tillman is, of course, financially secure from his playing days in the NFL to afford to step down, others looking at the loss of employment, black-balling by deplorable Republican bigots in Government, and no prospect of a pension in old age will always find it harder to not follow illegal orders.

But, Tillman is also correct that the Trump directives and Kash Patel led FBI is not going after the "most dangerous criminals" but, instead is just racially profiling and picking up people for the crime of being Hispanic or Latino, 
Republican humor
Immigrants with no criminal record are now the largest group in US immigration detention, according to data released by the government. The number of people with no criminal history arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) and detained by the Trump administration has now surpassed the number of those charged with crimes.

According to the official data, 16,523 people in immigration detention with no criminal record were arrested by Ice, compared to 15,725 who do have a criminal record and 13,767 with pending criminal charges.
That's according to the data from Department of Homeland Security themselves and at no point should you trust anything the Trump administration, Republican Party, or this Government every says about anything.

Always, always, always remember this isn't about Law&Order but, about Power and as you all know well from Orwell, Republicans demonstrate their power by making people suffer.
