LOS ANGELES, June 13 (Reuters) - U.S. Marines deployed to Los Angeles made their first detention of a civilian on Friday, part of a rare use of military force to support domestic police and coming ahead of national protests over President Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington.
The detention of the man, a U.S. Army veteran and an immigrant who obtained U.S. citizenship, punctuated a series of highly unusual events that have appealed to Trump supporters but outraged other Americans who are demonstrating discontent in the streets.
The way they spin it is they’re not arrested, just detained till others come to carry the arrest.
That’s just a nice way of saying abduction.
