The Geheime Staatspolizei, the Gestapo, the secret police ?
Even international human rights law, medical ethics and humanitarian law forbids harm to medics during times of civil unrest.
Yet, in today's America, today in Trump's America, we ignore basic laws of decency and humanitarian needs.
Only in Trump's America.
ACLU SUES FEDS, PORTLAND POLICE FOR ATTACKING MEDICS AT PROTESTS
Multiple volunteer street medics are suing the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Marshals Service, and the City of Portland for targeting and attacking them at Portland protests against police brutality. The lawsuit was filed in federal court by the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Oregon and Perkins Coie LLP.
In well-documented incidents, police and federal agents brutally attacked volunteer medics with rubber bullets, tear gas, pepper spray, batons, and flash-bangs.

Militarized federal agents deployed by the Trump administration have been terrorizing the city, threatening lives, and relentlessly attacking people exercising their First Amendment right to protest police brutality. Federal and local law enforcement have fired tear gas, rubber bullets, and more indiscriminately into crowds, and have been brutally attacking journalists, legal observers, and medics.
