HeadlineApr 19, 2018

This comes as police in at least one major U.S. city are preparing for possible riots if President Trump fires Robert Mueller. A memo from Pittsburgh Police Commander Victor Joseph reads, “Beginning April 19 all Major Crimes detectives are required to bring a full uniform and any issued protective equipment (riot gear) with them to work until further notice. We may be needed in the event that there is a large-scale protest.”
