FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating:
*foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets *foreign and domestic terrorist threats *crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)
Do you feel safer?
Crime is down 35% in DC. These agents are going to get very bored, just like what happened to the troops in California.
If the FBI isn’t working natsec and organized crime, there’s no reason for the agency to exist.
Safety is no longer the Priority Factor!
The fact that they are being misused, are wasting their training and talents doesn’t seem to matter, what does is the almighty dollar/top pay! Obviously money makes it right!
The FBI is now Trump’s plaything.
Hope they are proud.
They are looking to put away people of color plain and simple. It has nothing to do with crime and everything to do with racism.
He’s selling this resource to foreign entities. In fact, Trump is the foreign agent for global authoritarianism.
ICE robbed a Mexican restaurant and kidnapped its workers. They are the domestic terrorists the FBI should be investigating.
No.
I haven't felt safe since January 20th.
It’s a pathetic response to something Donny Dementia doesn’t have empathy for.
I do NOT feel safe with the CREATURE TRUMP as POTUS.
Stop talking about Epstein already
*Mossads involvement in information gathering at Epstine Island.
Absolutely.......not
Getting the FBI to stop investigating government corruption is probably the point of this.
Free for all for the regular criminals
Nope
To be fair, they haven't been investigating that since Jan 20, 2025.
Gotta be honest, I have 0 faith in this FBI.
I guess it’s just another way to cover up Trump being in the Epstein files.
I watched his little speech from the White House, every word that came out of his mouth was a lie. Ah yes, the Republicans, the Party of small government.
Trump is a fascist, but not a normal one. He is a BOZO fascist, improvising recklessly.
He has already done terrible things that will take years to undo, but he fools fewer people with each week that passes.
He won't be in power forever. Declining mental health and a fragmenting base.
FBI agents trained to work white collar fraud or counter-intelligence aren’t happy to be given overnight shifts patrolling DC streets for violations of a local criminal code they don’t know, hoping to avoid accidental confrontations with local cops they’ve never worked with. A cluster-f all around.
Trump does.
I thought FBI agents were either a lawyer or an accountant in terms of degree. Dafuq?
Since Trump is involved in all of the above crimes - now you know why the FBI is being reassigned
FBI stats would be helpful…
No. #$weakdon and cabinet are chaotic run around stupid circle and fall out of tree furniture wreakers, nothing is safe.
I want them to investigate child rapist traffickers!!
Welcome to your nationwide preview of the future. If he succeeds here it will go national. You will not be free to move around your country, no matter who you are.
Well, Caligula sells government secrets and there are no domestic terrorists and fraud and corruption are no longer crimes, so I guess they have some free time.
No, I feel like I'm living in an attempted Police State that won't rest until poorly trained 19 year olds are standing on every corner.
The GOP doesn’t want the FBI doing those things, it would just impede their activities.
Safer? These agencies have a legitimate job to do. Who's doing that important work, while they are being used for trump's bs assignments? You can bet our adversaries are well aware of the holes in our security, due to trump's mismanagement of essential assets.
Maybe that’s the goal.
ANOTHER EPSTEIN DIVERSION! DC crime has plummeted. Another RACIST attempt to federalize control over our cities! Just as we don't need ICE GESTAPO we don't need FBI playing babysitter to DC and Park police!
It just seems like it's only a matter of time before another country decides it would be a great time to attack the US, whether physically or digitally or both. Doesn't sound like there'd be a lot standing in their way at this point.
National Guardsmen are not patrol officers either.
NO Asha I do not. I feel mostly ashamed that my cntry is going down the crapper under this corrupt regime!! However, I find some solace in knowing I did not vote for any of this. The other feelings I have are anger, fear, and depression. Safe? No not at all.
Hell no!
You can’t argue with this administration
Not a single person kissing up to Trump has any idea of how anything works
Incompetence rules here - the adults in the room were part of Trump 1.0 not this little fascist regime
#EpsteinFiles At over 16 years the girls were paid to run cocaine across the border at Sandpoint and northeast points as border guards didn't expect young girls to be smuggling drugs and would wave them through. Odd how FBI missed that and the Trump-Callan arms trafficking operation to Beirut.
I was born not feeling safe. I thought climate change was doing enough to ramp things up before the world agreed to have a third world war, so the whole Nazism2.0 in America is kind of just the cherry on top of a shit sundae.
He’s a fake President working for Russia and he’s not the only one. Major clean-up after Labor Day. 😉
They'd have to investigate themselves to do any of that.
No I feel very unsafe since 45 got put into office
Hell no!
Thats prob trumps goal
No. Even my uterus isn't secure in this country.
Absolutely not.
I’ll feel safer when all of these clowns are nowhere near any government position 💯
It’s like reassigning guide dogs to be police dogs because they’re all german shepherds.
USA is currently lawless. You have no right to even exist, as the rich can do anything they want.
But that's exactly what Trump wants them investigating; anything but himself
No, I've never felt so vulnerable.
Well, it's not like Trump wants to be investigated.
And Pedophilia
Those are no longer the primary focii of federal law enforcement.
Getting revenge on anyone who crossed or offended the Dear Great Leader is.
Online sexual predators and sextortion of underage kids is a huge problem in this country. Very under reported. It’s investigated by the FBI, and as more agents are diverted to Trump’s distractions, our kids are being victimized.
FBI agents can’t refuse? Is this a legal order? I am finding it hard to understand how little legal restraints there seem to be.
Nope
Speaking as someone who worked the streets, it was never good when the FBI was out with us🙄 No disrespect to what the agency was under "normal" leadership, streetwork just isn't their thing!
No.
Some are probably welcoming a brief respite from redacting "Donald J Trump" from incriminating documents, but still...
Neither are military. We are not trained on US Constitutional limits and procedures such as Mirandizing arrestees, searching thru private property [warrants], destroying property. Those constraints do not apply overseas. Instead we train on the Law of Armed Conflict, Hague Conventions, etc.
NOW you're getting it.
Patel thinks his job is just to exist and tweet trump praises. That’s it. We’re already handing over those secrets and not securing anything. Noem isn’t doing anything either in this regard. We’re already the equivalent of using the word Password for secrets also written on a sticky note
Epstein 🤷♂️
There's an FBI?!
There goes a hundred dollar bet, gd it.
Bugga!
Yes, Im being facetious. Duh.
If there was a national crisis, then Trump would declare martial law.
Oh, I see the incentive structure. Yeah, we are screwed.
You know who else isn’t trained to patrol our citizens in civilian streets? The marines and the National Guard.
Trump thinks anyone can do any job, that is how little value he places on federal employees. These agents are highly trained and they are being used to roust homeless people? The National Guard is trained,but they are just you and I in military gear. They are for intimidation of the population.
Incompetent
Nobody is safe with a killer in the WH 🥱🤷
No need to investigate - they run the White House.
It's just to look strong to all of his white male supporters afraid to ride public transportation/distract from the fact he is all over the epstein files as a guy who has proudly stated that no one could stop him from enjoying barging in on teenage girls undressed.
Not to mention random patrolling does very little to control crime and does not provide services to truly lower crime
You left out human trafficking. Check the Epstein files for more info.
and what about Pennsylvania? I heard a very important person got “shot” at last summer… 🤷🏻♂️
No. And since I wouldn't be wandering around at 3 am looking for trouble, I probably woudln't find it, esp since violent crime in DC was DOWN, not UP, and Trump as usual lied about it.
As you know, the people in charge do not want those things investigated.
No
I haven’t felt safe since the president gave our national security top secret documents away! Then he got away with this treasonous activity!!!!!
TBF it only required one agent to turn up at the White House and all those crimes are covered :/
We are in a Banana Republic country
There needs to be a National date set this fall for ALL- GOP, DEM, IND &every worker(walk off job day) non worker, wall street workers, essential workers retired, every religion to literally shut down the nation &March to save our Democracy! This is the only way!
Less safe every single day
The FBI is a terrorist organisation. Always has been.
I can’t shake the feeling that it’s exactly what Trump wants- a horrific terrorist attack like 9/11 to become the new main memory of his presidencies like Rudy in New York. Lives lost, damage inflicted, fear… worth it to Trump. Declare a national emergency/martial law & just blow past 2028.
It isn't how I feel that matters. Are FBI agents OK with being used by a fascist dictator to suppress the population based on lies? If not, what are they going to do about it?
I suppose now Trump is openly selling Govt data, is the cheerleader for fraud & scams, whilst leading the ICE trafficking gangs, means they have less to do
Part of turning the FBI into his personal police force that does only his bidding.
I hope they arrest Chris Wray and Merrick Garland for dereliction of duty.
All before his meeting with Putin!
No. I feel way more pissed-er.
Almost as if Trump intentionally wants FBI out on the streets instead of investigating, preparing and protecting us the week Russia will be America...
Plus they don’t wear body cams…
That’s the whole point though of his presidency- destruction of the country and democracy.
This isn’t even a deterrent. If I run into Big Balls, I’m still whooping his little pansy ass.
And Trump is in the Epstein files
Maybe they’re part of his SS/ICE thugs
Indeed FBI agents aren’t beat cops. But try telling that to a MAGAt.
And let’s have brain surgeons do routine health exams just for fun. This is beyond insane.
My first thought was to question where Federal Protective Service and US Park Police were. They are trained to do this beat cop stuff, in part.
It's for trump's insatiable ego.
He makes orders to try and validate his insane thoughts. Marines acting as cops in LA, National Guard supplementing ICE & CBP, and now FBI backing up DC cops.
All just for bullshit.
Btw... EPSTEIN FILES. That is all.
It's a waste of taxpayers' dollars and another distraction from releasing the Epstein files.
*foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets *foreign and domestic terrorist threats *crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)
All of those things are happening at the White House. Maybe they ARE in the right place...
I've felt unsafe since Trump took office.
And well-governed states do not need military and paramilitary forces deployed on their streets.
Pretty sure tRump wants to disband the FBI, but is settling for firing all the ethical, skilled, competent agents and hiring 🤡s
ICE will subsume what is left of the FBI eventually
As a 3rd generation Washingtonian I can say this is typical Trump
Violent crime has been dropping in this city which the folks who lived through 60s riots & the crack epidemic & recessions & covid know.
It will just make downtown look like a war zone & hurt tourism. He’s itching for martial law.
Time to make some bank withdrawals in Maryland and Virginia.
waste of time & taxpayer dollars. DC crime is falling
Very concerning. The next 9/11 could happen because the FBI is busy with the Epstein files, going after immigrants, patrolling DC…it’s insane.
FBI agents are resigning, getting fired for refusing to do something that is completely unethical, probably illegal or they investigated Trump from previous legitimate cases. Still say if a foreign or domestic enemy wanted to do serious harm, who would see it coming? That’s what scares me.
I'm almost wondering if this is punishment for the FBI investigating him and others in his regime.
He’s doing what he accused others of doing on J6.
This shite will morph into hit TV cop shows…
No !
No
Do you think that might be the intention?
I don’t think sitting down with a case of sharpies redacting a child rapist from child raping documents was either yet here the fuck we are
Nope 🙅🏼♂️ 🙅♀️. Our nation is ripe for a cyber attack or an attack from an external force because we have all of our investigative, agents, and federal police attacking people living here.
FBI stands for Federal Bureau of INVESTIGATION. I cann't imaging this being confusing.
I preferred when the FBI spent its time spying on Desi Arnaz or labeling environmentalists as enemies of the state!
HELL NO. NOT A USE FOR THE FELONS WHIMS.
National Guard can only arrest people with more felonies than the guy who's telling them to arrest people. 😉
I dont think the fbi should exist so
No. I lived in DC with the National Guard in the streets after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. I lived in NYC with law enforcement in full tactical get up after 9/11. Neither made me safe. Both engendered increased fear/
Such things are not being investigated because this regime is in on a lot of it.
It's a practice run on imposing marital law.
Better an FBI agent than the military.
Trump crime ring.
I feel more Nazified.
FYI, one doesn’t need the FBI investigating foreign spies stealing information because Trump and the Republicans give them the information. Why investigate corruption when Trump just pardons them. As for terrorist attacks, just blame on Biden.
They are just gonna be sitting back drinking coffee, and clocking in overtime
Cops are trained?
Is the goal of this training to improve the lives of people in the community?
Not investigating crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes? Sounds like a win for SOME...⬇️
Are they done redacting all the mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein files?
The FBI are also not investigating sex trafficking.
Consider the current administration and whether this is accidental.
Shit no. And with all the shit he's done, that Jaundiced Wankstain and his regime of incels and diseased plastic dolls have proven to be the TEXTBOOK DEFINITION OF "ENEMIES DOMESTIC"!
No, no way do I feel safer. It’s just more BS!
as a bank robber, yes, yes i do
⛳⛈️⚠️ Every slight move he makes, every 'joke', or touch...
#r4today
It may be that the department director has one eye on the Epstein files and the other on who the fuck knows what
I guess they do not investigate pedophile networks or hunt Russian Agents at Government level either... My expectation is that we will see a lot of FBI agents patrolling the streets for the next 3 years.
NO!
Putin approves
The FBI is being manipulated into an SS force. That makes all citizens at risk.
Read the history because Project 2025 mirrors many elements of fascism.
Nothing about the admin has even a whiff of safety about it...
Nope.
Like how Bush pulled FBI off everything else to investigate the Clintons? They almost stopped 9/11, perhaps if they'd had a few more people on the counter terror beat...
normally they'd be looking at Russia and we know they're not going to do that
Every FBI pig roaming the streets is one less agent to frame the fake bomb threat terrorists they create, frame/assassinate Black Panthers AIM members and other leftists, persecute whistle-blowers, and illegally spy on oppressed communities. Fuck the FBI and the cops.... goose-steppers all.
I do not. I feel less safe every day thanks to this inept, unqualified, corrupt "administration".
Exactly. And that’s precisely why they are being given political theater assignments rather than real ones.
Truth.
Not as long as Trump is free.
They are working for another "government"
What they are being distracted from is clearly the point.
Well, ReTHUGlicans do! 🐒 🙈
Nope
I’m wondering if this could have been prevented if the FBI wasn’t busy arresting immigrants and redacting the Epstein files
The identities of confidential court informants are feared compromised in a series of breaches across multiple U.S. states.
GOP evilish plan, part .. ? .. ? (I lost the count)
Every single day he proves that he doesn't know and doesn't care how the government is supposed to work!
Also not investigating pedophiles among the American elite.
Quitting your job in these times is hard. But it’s better than being turned into a violent, mindless brown shirted thug for a dementia addled sex criminal.
We tried to warn people. Curfews, National Guard,FBI agents in the streets, ICE kidnappings, are virtually the same thing as martial law, and by crashing the economy people will become so desperate crime actually will go up which will further cement his reign of terror.
So, when do we stop complaining and act? When do we get off social media and rally folks to demonstrate until he’s gone? Maybe you have, but I keep waiting for the online folks with large followings to organize. I am a small account and willing to help.
Also
While President Donald Trump said crime in the District is “totally out of control,” his administration said it will cut security funding for the D.C. area.
It’s a feature, not a bug @asharangappa.bsky.social
#FeelsLikeFascism
That would be a big fat NO!
And he will fail. Start listing all of his failures.
Isn't that the point? Keep the investigators distracted from Russia moving even more operatives into US society. Why don't Americans just come out and profess their lust for Putin?
The BJS just released crime stats that show his is a bullshit motive. I’m sure the head will be fired now and data will be changed. 👀
That’s a big hell no. I haven’t felt safer since January 19, 2025.
No. I feel like it's a prelude to the Reichstag Decree phase in the consolidating dictatorship. #EpsteinFiles
I felt way safer before any of this took place.
If Dems ever get back in office should they fire these FBI agents for doing what they were assigned to do? If FBI agents were fired for investigating Trump supporters for crimes against the cops who protect our Capitol then I guess that is how we will run the FBI from now on.
I think he is just trying to get his forces in shape for the eventual takeover of Greenland or Panama, or California. That's the reason for the Presidential Fitness test.
And I bet they are pissed off as hell being turned into beat cops and asked to roust homeless people.
No
Nope
Nope
America turned to shit on Jan 20, 2025.
