The explicit threat comes days after Trump ordered soldiers to put down protests in Los Angeles

Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to forcibly put down any protests that spoil the military parade he has ordered up for his birthday on Saturday to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army’s founding during the American Revolutionary War.

Speaking in the Oval Office following an impromptu event to discuss forest management ahead of the upcoming summer wildfire season, Trump was riffing on what he described as violent excesses by protesters who’ve been demonstrating against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Los Angeles when he was asked about the possibility of protests against the June 14 parade.

He reiterated the explicit threat a moment later, telling “those people who want to protest” that they would be “met with very big force” once more.

    I would advice people against directly clashing with the police. Such does little good, as police has typically more weapons and more fight training. It will only get you in trouble and do nothing good.

    If you really wanna be an annoying prick to authorities, consider slashing tires of ICE vehicles. This way, when ICE plans to abduct people again, they’re stuck in the middle of a village they probably don’t know well, surrounded by people who are angry at them. That can’t be good for them.

      Use a drone to drop paint on their windshield when parked.

      Or drop liquid ass on the groups of cops/ICE, and/or their cars.

      Or maybe leave a bag of green lasers with instructions to shine them at LEO helicopters then run away. Don’t get caught with one.

      Or if you know an LEO or ICE person, anonymously dox them.
