Inside the Military-Police Center That Spies On Baltimore's Rioters

Lasrick writes: Adam Weinstein on a program designed to catch terrorists attacking Baltimore that is now being used to spy on protesters: 'On Ambassador Road, just off I-695 around the corner from the FBI, nearly 100 employees sit in a high-tech suite and wait for terrorists to attack Baltimore. They've waited 11 years. But they still have plenty of work to do, like using the intel community's toys to target this week's street protests.' Great read.

using it against American citizens who are engaged in the Constitutionally protected activity of criticizing their government.

Sorry but assault, vandalism, arson, destruction of public property, looting, etc are not Constitutionally protected activities no matter what the reason. The minute a protester starts doing any of those things they are no longer protesters and are now thugs and vandals. Sorry but the "we are so mad we can't control ourselves" is just a cop out.
