Memo: Pittsburgh police told to prepare for Mueller firing, prepare riot gear
- Thread starter Noroi_Kisaragi

In theory, that's the case. However, he claims to have received legal advice (probably from Alan Dershowitz) that says that he can fire Mueller directly.
I know who he is. My question is more about why his firing would be taken so personally to the point where it leads to violence.
I don't think that's the case. The main reason will likely be
Money >>>> Mueller
Ok. Federal employee here.
1: There's no fucking way the Mayor of Pittsburgh knows if Trump is about to fire Mueller. Just.....no. That's not how any of this works.
2: There won't be violent nationwide riots if he does.
3: I think Trump is an unfit piece of shit who needs to be removed, but this is a silly, unnecessary precaution that causes needless panic among the general population. It's incredibly irresponsible.

Not the mayor, the police commander. All the mayor did was reach out for more information
Many believe that if the Russia investigation is closed up, we've effectively moved right into an autocracy, seeing as Trump is a narrative-driven narcissist, looking for yes men to coddle the con artist.
People do not want this.
The Police Commander won't know either. That's ridiculous.
Trump has already done countless things that were not supposed to be allowed. I have zero faith that the GOP will do a damn thing to stop him.
He isn't a politician.
Hopefully it wouldn't lead to violence but should it happen, it should absolutely lead to large-scale protests.
I don't care what I'm supposed to be doing. If Trump fires Mueller, I will be protesting, and if you're a United States citizen and care at all about the fate of the country, I hope you will consider doing the same.
All that said, I dearly hope that this is just Pittsburgh preparing for the worst, and not actually knowing that something is about to go down.

It could. My avatar should provide clues as to my experience. Hint: law enforcement.
It's precautionary and smart. I'm sure he watches the news like everyone else and no one wants to be caught with their pants down if people start rioting. Keyword riot.
It probably won't, but almost any mass protest leads to some idiots doing something stupid. Better safe than sorry.
I did a Twitter search on the topic and there is a rumor/discussion that the House canceled a Thursday vote so members can leave early this week.
Anyone taking bets for a firing this week?
I don't see any big sources speaking on this so right now I'm not thinking anything of it.

Well...I don't want to leave out any group from this protest though. Maybe if every other person was white it might work. Like a checkerboard of wait, don't shoot....boy, they would be so confused on what to do.
Its just a response to this anyway.

Yeah, but I still don't see why this would lead to someone throwing a molotov cocktail into a Denny's.
Nah, just bump their heads against the car door as they get arrested, filthy liberals! Many of the pigs do love them some MAGA
Yeah, I have no idea if the riots will happen (I hope they do and the entire country is paralyzed), but America was born out of riots. And there have been many injustices where riots provided the only response to ignored voices, and brought about real change (such Stonewall, the death of MLK Jr, Kent State). America doesn't give a damn if you go protest in some park, but when these policy makers see their homes and livelihoods in danger, that's when they start paying attention.
It won't. It would lead to demonstrations however, which I'd support.
NRA will be first to know so that they can send out calls to their sleeper soldiers across America to wake up and fight against liberty with their muskets and cannonballs.
Yeah I wonder why a corrupt President firing a special counsel who is investigating him, the same President who has already fired several others investigating him, would be a big deal. Get out of here with this shit
Shit, I feel like lobbing a molotov into a Denny's anytime I pass by one, no special occasion needed. Fuck Denny's. More like Moons Over My Ass, am I right?
User warned: deliberately misquoting to attack another user
There we go, that's all better now.
This is exactly what a leaking low energy deep-state lib would say. SAD!
But...but...I thought there was "no indication" Trump was going to fire Mueller?
They're willingly doing their part to help him fire Mueller and/or Rosenstein.
And then when that actually happens all we'll hear from them will be "concerning if true"
That would imply he actually has some kind of rollout strategy for one of his decisions. It would literally be the first time for that.
If that makes you feel better about the truth. We'll have protests, but actual riots aren't happening, look at how much all spectrums of America look down upon black folks when we have protests that turn into "riots". So yea, I'm not holding my breath for Americans do actually do shit like riot over this. We'll have a few weeks worth of protests, then the same bullshit of "we need to vote these guys out!!" and in which case we do, but the fundamental problems that led to this point will never be addressed because if it's one thing America hates, it's being introspective and fixing problems at their root.
Well riots in themselves are forms of violence, and there are several people in this thread thinking riots will break out.
You literally don't know who he is because you called him a politician.
Like, there's really no way to spin that.
This straight up will not happen.
Ignoring the fact that it's a bad idea conceptually, firing Mueller and then allowing police to inflict violence on the public in response would be a surefire way to increase public unrest, violence against the government, and potentially spawn a civil war. Outside of being illegal, it would be like pouring rocket fuel on a fire. This is like an NRA member's wet dream.
He stands to benefit significantly more from letting the protesters do their thing, ignoring it, and hoping people apathetically give up as he keeps trucking along until the Midterms.
It would be the president asserting that he is above the law, and with Congress showing an unwillingness to check his power, would effectively make him an autocrat. People care, some passionately, about democracy, or the illusion thereof. All of the Netflix and youtubes and Shake Shacks in the world aren't going to keep people quiet and docile if we take a sudden right turn and become Turkey or Russia.
Edit: Just to be clear, protests =/= riots. Protests can become riots if they are completely disorganized or violently provoked.
