Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Those gravy seals would be shot dead by his security detail.
That's what would happen, and why it won't.
Wait, how does he have a security detail?
Apparently yes. I just looked it up. Five or six guys from the NYPD have the duty of protecting the mayor. On a case by case basis, his family might also get security. In the case of Rudy Juliani, both his wife and his mistress for security details because of course.
Would local guys defend against federal guys? Don't know.
Well, he's not the mayor, just someone running for mayor.
Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
I was more wondering where he got the money, but I guess you can spend campaign money on that stuff. That makes sense.
You really think a handful of local cops are going to get into a firefight with federal agents? This isn't the movies. They're not going to just see a handful of local cops and say "Drat! Foiled again!" while twirling their evil mustaches.
There's only a handful of ways that's going to go down.
You're forgetting the most likely option: 3. The local cops simply hand him over to the feds. Cops are not your fucking friends I don't know how much clearer it can get at this point.
You are correct. I edited that in because it should have been obvious and included from the beginning. My bad.
