Guess what happens when you strike a FEDERAL officer? Or you’re arrested by the feds for rioting? You get prosecuted by the feds and totally bypass that limp-wristed county district attorney who’s dismissing all the local charges.

Local authorities are taken out of the picture.

Yeah, and it doesn’t require any “deputizing”.

Terrible that local DAs are demeaning the law BTW.

Yep. This is the reason that making the state cops federal marshals was a brilliant idea.

I you look at the history of federal marshals, started in 1789 and it is NOT located in DC, it's headquarters are in Kansas City.

This is also the reason I, and others have advocated the disbanding of the FBI and having the marshal service taking over their functions.
