... for unidentified troops to sweep in, silently gather people off the streets and carry them off in unmarked vehicles, just like Portland?

Is that the kind of America you want, Tom, where citizens can disappear, and witnesses to the disappearance have NO IDEA who has taken them, and where they have been taken? Where the troops making them disappear say nothing, do not tell the citizen WHY they are being taken away, do not charge them with any offence, and do not read them their rights?

Edited for my grammer mistake

Further edit; The ACTING head of DHS says "I don't need invitations by the state, state mayors, or state governors to do our jobs. We're going to do that, whether they like us there or not"

Are they liberators who will be welcomed by the populace, or a hostile occupying force, sent to suppress them?

Yes, ignore the part where he wants to increase the funding to police departments.
Describe exactly what form the supposed increase is.

Suppress them from doing what?

I am not playing a clumsy game of "gotcha."

If it is truly there, then you can just as well cite the specific form of the supposed funding.

You cannot.

Cool so you won’t even look. Chris Wallace corrected Trump on it in his interview. Joe Biden has made official announcements about it. Be a good skeptic and don’t take my word for it.

Oh, I looked.

I was wondering if you had looked.

Joe Biden stated clearly he was going to redirect funds from the police to other programs.

No question about that.

The question is, why should I believe Chris Wallace when redirecting funding from the police programs does indeed = defunding police programs.

If you were getting 2 dollars a day from a source and now are getting 1 dollar a day from that same source, you would not consider that defunding?

That's a pretty simple question.

He also promised to add $300M to reinvigorate community policing.

Joe Biden said that funding should be redirected.

The Epoch Times - Biden Says Some Funding Should Be Redirected From Police Departments - "Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden said Wednesday that some funding should be redirected from police departments as some activists and Democrats have called to 'defund the police' in the wake of protests and riots across the United States in recent weeks."

Pardon me if I am incorrectly assuming, but it was my impression that you are in favor of less government/federal intervention in the lives of American's, not more???

How is this a good thing?

I am in favor of less government/federal intervention in the lives of law abiding Americans.

So is Tom, I am sure.

So you agree that those who are exercising their First Amendment rights to free assembly, petition and protest (I'm paraphrasing 1A) are law-abiding citizens, then?

And that any inhibition of their rights is unwarranted federal intervention?

Of course.

People who are engaging in legitimate free assembly and engaging in the filing of legitimate petitions should be protected.

Always should be.

So, for instance, beating such people with batons would be wrong?

I am unsure how you equate the word "be protected," with "beating with batons."

Right, In favor of less government/federal intervention in the lives of law abiding Americans, but think it's fine that a guy was pinned to the ground for dancing since dancing is so suspicious and we must be protected against people dancing.

Ok.
Tom is wrong most of the time. Hardly big news, don't you think?

The guy wasn't pinned down for dancing in the street.

We went over that already.
