Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Man these guys keeping their shit together while ICE cower behind masks, guns and armor is down right impressive.
They want violence so fucking bad. Blocking their vehicles, overwhelming their arrests, preventing their ability to shelter comfortably? They will either snap and massacre or gradually just get unmotivated to keep trying it.
I couldn't do this. In the one video, when I heard one of the agents arm their weapon my own fight or flight activated, and that adrenaline pumped hard. Logically, it sort of makes sense. If they're going to start shooting, I'm not going to make it to a safe spot. If I can't run then it's fight.
TL;DR of this article: WAHHHHHH! STOP RESISTING!
If they don't want to be compared to the GeStaPo, have they tried not to behave like the GeStaPo did?
Bil Essayli, the Trump-appointed federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, has filed charges against Martinez for resisting the work of federal employees. Essayli accuses the detainee of punching one of the Border Patrol officers in the face, something that is not shown on video and is not included in the indictment.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported Thursday that it has detected a 500% increase in cases of harassment of police officers in charge of carrying out operations against undocumented immigrants. “Just this week, an ICE officer was dragged 50 yards by a car while arresting an illegal alien sex offender,” said Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the DHS.
The official accused Democratic politicians, including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, of inciting hatred against the officers. “From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi Gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is despicable. This violence against ICE must end,” she said.
Fuck this whole fascist culture of abusers painting themselves as victims. Fuck this business of them declaring people to be criminals with no evidence and no trial. We know who the violent ones are here. We know who the masked thugs are. It's shameful how these people lie so brazenly and so readily.
500% isn't nearly high enough. We need every single person everywhere fighting against these gangster, white supremacist thugs.
Imagine justifying sending someone to a foreign prison for life without a trial, or even possibly enslavement in a place like Libya, and then complaining about being called names.

If they're not showing official i.d. they're just random thugs as far as the public knows.

Then you'll have a warrant, and you'll still have to prove it, cunt.
No id, no warrant?
Then the aggressor is a threat and a danger.
That's all we need
Grass root movements! Very hopeful to see. Hopefully they are in for the long haul.
