Donald Trump needs to be arrested now!

No more screwing around. He is a proven terrorist. Alvin Bragg is now getting death threats and white powder in the mail after Trump incited violence against him.

Letting Trump walk around free is like letting a member of ISIS go around killing people in the US with no consequences.

One of them may have interrupted a Grand Jury on this case.

Then the white powder with a death threat.

Trump has made multiple threats online in the last two days.

That Stormy case had a constant smell of tampering or obstruction.
Cohen refused to appear in Congress initially because of Trump threats.
Mueller complained of 10 counts of obstruction.

I would think Bragg's got a pretty clear case for this by now.
The GOP are not going to be able to lie about this behavior and get it widely accepted.

"The GOP are not going to be able to lie about this behavior and get it widely accepted."

Why not, it's worked perfectly for them so far.

But the general public outside of that world won't.

Jan 6th didn't help Trump's popularity. It was a low point for his favorability.

What constitutes probable cause to connect Trump to the white stuff that merits arrest?

You're jumping way ahead of how the law works. Here we go again with the Burger King demands.

No, I don't know. And no, we didn't know who all was involved in Jan 6. We just know what we SAW. The comparison doesn't square with the known facts, all of which aren't reported yet. Re antifa, it's pretty easy to disprove the antifa claim with facts, btw.

Every single time some lone wolf acts, are posters really going to drag us all into KNOWING it was a Trump thing? Seriously? No keeping abreast of any investigations? Seriously?

Sure, there are operatives, bad guys, etc., but let's not get things twisted. We survey loss, harm, damage, wait for investigations and more info before KNOWING. You do realize that at this point, that while Bragg does his job he's surrounded by the biggest law enforcement teams in the country, right?

Yes, there's a right wing drive to problem solving through violence. Law enforcement is chipping away at it. So Bragg's not worried. We shouldn't be, either.

...would spell the end of freedom and democracy. It's simply not possible, apparently, to restrain Trump faster without every single one of us being at risk of being locked up on a whim. Nope, no in-between possibilities. It's either a creeping, timid pace, or mob justice with all due process flushed down the toilet.

So we need to leave Trump running loose destroying freedom and democracy himself, otherwise shame on us.

to lock a black man in prison for life for smoking weed.

Trump destroying Democracy and inciting terrorism though? That's just not a big priority.

..and he needs to spend life in prison without parole, first and foremost for treason and sedition, but closely followed by genocide regarding letting "blue states" experience COVID, and keeping the CDC from doing its job. Probably close to (if not more than) a millon people died due to Trump's negligence.
Er.. not to mention a bazillion other grifts and criminal endeavors the fucker has taken part in.
And the REASON he needs to spend life in prison w/o parole is because they wouldn't execute him. In the 17th, 18th, or 19th centuries, well yah, Trump would be before a firing squad for his crimes.

He may be indicted but will be allowed to report to court on his own and will be allowed to remain free.
He will never see the inside of a prison and will be allowed to inflame and incite violence and death until his natural death.

Why? I guess everyone is scared of consequences if he is treated like the criminal he is.
Just what those consequences are has never been defined but they are terrified of them.

It’s wrong because the consequences of not treating him like a criminal are worse. Much worse. But no one is scared of that.

can call that doing time, I don't think you can, not with a straight face anyway), but I'm afraid that's probably the extent of his incarceration. Or at least the most we can hope for in this life-time!
