Look at these ICE assholes, wannabe tough guys dressed like combat troops with automatic battlefield weapons so they can smash car windows and take screaming children and terrified woman into custody without warrants. Cowards!
Imagine to Be so affraid of your peoples reaction to your actions, that you have to have full military Gear up on every occasion. Might give you a hinta about moral and ethical grounds of Said actions
So when it was the pandemic, masks were for idiots, but now, they're just fine. Fuck these cowardly hypocrites. All of them. They're only doing this because of numbers and guns. Without either, they're all cowards.
What a joke. The only true thing that Rush Slimebaugh ever said was that "the purpose of an army is to smash things and kill people". He didn't say "the other side's people" because he was 100% absolutely aware that all soldiers are *trained* to follow orders, not think about whether or not those orders are moral and should be followed.
The #1 indicator that we are screwed as a country and the fascists legit won is not a single person actually assaulting or fighting back the ICE agents and such. Just hands out crying and saying Staaahhhppp pweeesssse.
Why are you booing him? He is absolutely 100% correct. So far it's all been whiny bitches with phones yelling and filming and doing nothing, and one crazy badass bitch trying really hard to get run over and I totally respect her for that move. People should have jumped the goon when he got out of the SUV to remove her.
Is there a reddit group or something where we can get alerts when they are in the area? I feel like we need to organize a fast response and fight back.
I can't speak to where you live but there are standard social media and Reddit accounts tracking ICE where I live, plus a hotline we can call or text. If you have a subreddit for your town/county, that could provide some info. (Unless fascism is popular in your area in which case such resistance would be stifled.)
I'm wondering when protesters are going to start learning to make walls and stand in organized lines, lock arms, etc, to prevent stragglers from getting grabbed.
I know that there are no MAGA in these comments, but I'm going to pretend for a moment. Looks at the number of personnel they need to arrest one person that is maybe guilty of a misdemeanor violation. How much do you think this cost the taxpayers, just in labor? How is this sustainable? How is this not a prime example of the government waste you claim to oppose?
The war on drugs, which has gone on for generations now, has proven they never cared about cost or efficiency. Those are just buzzwords. What they really want to do is harm people. Usually people of color.
People are different. There are fascists too in the army and cops. When will be the moment, would you be sure who make the oath with his mind voted to freedom and equality and which one to control and power? I wouldn’t trust anyone anymore, sorry to say that, but is true.
Military personnel are trained to follow orders immediately and without question. It's the people at the top giving the orders that need to assess what is happening and rectify the situation.
I mean in a story book sure but I and many others around me were definitely not going to follow any unlawful order, as we were trained on that far more than I ever received any brainwashing. My base felt like we slipped into hell when Trump first got elected. Leadership had to put out emails telling people to not be disrespectful to the commander in chief. Just saying.
I've been out since 2018 now, but let me tell ya bud most military members are normal people who signed up to make something out of their dead-end lives with no way to pay for college and have no interest in combat or conflict at all. Sure, some generals could start throwing around military punishment for disobeying orders but the same could be said about you, after all you are only a draft away from being one of them.
That's why they're using ICE. The military has been proportionally against him. That's a problem for him. I hope they get a chance to put ICE in their place. Land mutiny. My father who is retired fully supported him through most of his bullshit. Then he openly supported Putin and my father was surprised and no longer supports him. No, he is not a smart man.
As much as there are plenty of military folk who are chill and would support Gen. Milley's statement, there are unfortunately also a lot who just wanna be able to shoot people and call it patriotism.
Flamethrowers. Fuming acid mixtures in fragile glass bottles raining down over the cops' heads to destroy their armor. & when they attack, well aimed shots to the head between the eyes.
Hey as a non American, is ICE a government funded agency? Why do they look like every member has brought their own equipment and don't have clearly displayed ICE logos like fire fighters or police?
Yeh, what's with all the masks. Feels really weird to be that many, and that kitted out for something like this. Giving amateur kidnapper and ammosexual vibes. Real icky people...
they are a federal agency. they have a lot of rules they are ignoring. theres a theory that their ranks are filled with the neonazis that the GOP knows. every video makes it swem more and more accurate.
I've yet to see any evidence of this. IIRC a lot of the J6 arrests were done on people with priors. I don't think they let you in at ICE with a criminal record. That being said, I don't doubt it at all. Rule of law is being ignored at every opportunity.
California has over 3 million registered gun owners. So know, I don't know that. Where are you getting your info from to think it's nearly impossible. California is in top 5 on the list of most gun registrations.
I literally bought my first AR-15 there, it has additional laws regarding magazines and various features etc. (some sensible, some silly, it's nuanced like most things), but it's as easy as anywhere else in terms of ownership.
It's not near impossible to own a gun in California. Maybe it's a lot easier in Oregon or Nevada but that doesn't stop you getting a gun in California, you just have to follow the process.
Tiktok Tiktok Tiktok... I know you guys hate even the idea of it. But the people who made you hate the idea of it are the same people that keep making the posts everywhere else disappear!
A mandatory politics tag lets trolls find all political posts, creates echo chambers like realpolitics, truepolitics, magapolitics, etc, and turns the politics tag itself into a sub-community. On top of that it enables coordinated algorithmic suppression of political tagged posts, or the ability to categorically deny a post to see the light of day by reporting it as improperly tagged forever.
If imgur is going to silence this kind of shit then it's time for people to stop using imgur. The correct response is not to "show them we don't back down" because they don't care as long as you're using the site. The correct response is to leave, let them know that their censorship is the reason, and kick them right in the moneybags.
Only way to show them is to not let them earn ad revenue. I'm fine with letting it die. At this point it has so little appeal and is just filling with garbage features.
I warned everyone about their "automod AI" and the shadowbanning shit repeatedly on post after post. There are other sites to stay informed on. Imgur is swallowing itself.
Perhaps it got overwhelmed. A shadow ban doesn't remove the posts, just kind of hides them, so if enough people upvote it anyway, it will make it's way to the top.
Imgur is pretty much the only social media I've used for the last decade (I do follow my daughters on IG so I do some Nazi punching when I'm there). What sites do you use to stay informed?
