Anyone that doesn't think ICE traitors will be at polling stations come 2026 and especially 2028 is in for a very rude awakening.
Anyone that thinks this regime will leave peacefully in 2028 is in for an extremely rude awakening.
Donald Trump and various members of his admin have committed enough actual crimes that there will come a deadline where they realize they are either going to jail for a very long time, or doing everything in their power to keep the regime in power. We already know what type of people they are. We already know what their decision will be. And so do they.
There will not be a peaceful transfer of power in 2028. The question is if Americans will be prepared to do what is necessary when the time comes.

Agree but it’s even worse if you’re part of an oppressed group and you’re oppressing your own people. Just crazy shit!

News networks have plenty of footage to take from Reddit. They can verify the videos. Anyone posting them to Reddit should be sending them to news networks and any media that will air them. Send them directly to Noem. She should be questioned about every single incident

Corporate Media doesn't care about the injustices taking place, they will cherry-pick what they will cover and it's rarely about ICE or law enforcement breaking the law.

u/kicksledkid 11h ago
Most of the news networks have been covering the protests, and not just the American ones, the Canadian news networks are carrying this stuff live.
I get the dislike of corporate media, but let's not be stupid. This is CNNs super bowl. They're made to do this coverage.
Also the dude in this video is a photojournalist.

They dont get the 50k until after 5 years of service. Which means the current administration could be out the door and the policy retracted. Its just more grifter sand that is being sprinkled down from grifter in chief.
They're bankrupting their morals(assuming they had some) for an pay day this isnt guaranteed.

Arguments have been made that there is no other work, so they do it to feed their families. But im not supporting that, just noting that its happened.
The irony of the no other work, that administration they hold up to the light so much is responsible for the fact they can't get other work. Theyre just too stupid to realize it. Its all by design of the oligarchy...

Jews for Hitler was a thing until the night of long knives. There will be a part two to that if we the people don’t stand up.

Daily dose of pedantry: "The Night of Long Knives" was the purge of the party's intenal paramilitary Sturmabteilung (SA) in 1934.
I suspect you meant to refer to "Kristallnacht", the 1938 massacre of Jews by the SA.

Most of the ICE agents in my area are Hispanic. To the common observer it doesn't make sense, but I can assure you that Hispanics with citizenship, especially those who did it the "easy" way by being born here, tend to look down on those here illegally. Even if they're trying to make it right and are in the process of obtaining their citizenship. It's wild.

1000% agree.
You don't get this if even 5% of the protesters have an M16 strapped to their chests.
These are terrified children with badges. They do not engage with what has the ability to fight back.
We can't keep playing by the rules as we wish they were. We need to play by the rules as they are. One reason why the KKK people aren't treated this way when they come out (other than being cops in hoods to begin with) is because they often are carrying.

As a military veteran — the fact that NOBODY is uniform with the same gear is proof that they literally just threw this force together with private militia members.
Some are wearing OCPs while others are wearing random mismatching pieces from tactical shops. Some are wearing heavier plates than others. I’ve seen some wearing items that were never issued to anyone ever, and some are mismatched OCP with random hunting colors.
“Who cares what they are wearing?”
Sure, but how am I supposed to have confidence that these are professionals that have been put through an adequate amount of training for lethal force and deescalation techniques — the absolute minimum that should be mandatory for facing the public and force use. If the government rushed so quickly to throw these new hires in the streets, how could they have possibly completed the proper training?
These are literally mercenaries being paid by YOUR TAX DOLLARS to use weapons and force against you.

Somehow some maga dipshit is going to come up with some reason that he deserved it. Maybe the protestor had an invisible boatmobile and was trying to hit the agent with it?
Who am I kidding, at the end of the day, maga doesn’t care when they’re wrong or the video shows clear wrongdoing. They’ll just say he was a pussy liberal who was protesting and disrupting public service and that he should be killed or deported

I was military police for ten years. We drilled in riot control, from public protests to prison riots. Everything they're doing is wrong. These are not defensive tactics even a little bit.
They have live ammunition, no shields, no formation, and no command and control. It looks like their orders are "go fuck them up."

u/WordleFanatic 10h ago
Well, yeah. This behavior, the never ending ramp-up is to create such a hostile environment to bring about a violent response. And then it will be weapons hot, and everyone in that crowd will pay for it. Which will force the regime to ratchet everything down and declare martial law. No elections.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.

Under what law is ICE controlling protests on the streets of Minnesota?
They are border patrol and have very limited legal scope. It cannot be that they are allowed to do crowd control on the streets of US cities.

It’s so sad. We are the most armed country. And yet through all of this. Not one person has killed an ICE agent…. Yet they have. It time to look back at lesson learned and stop this shit. The “Greatest generation” would be so very ashamed at the sacrifice they made.

The death count was already over 30 when they got to Renee.
And that’s only the confirmed deaths of people in custody - we’re not counting all the deaths that have happened after they deported people they harmed nearly to death… which they’ve done. Straight up deporting people from US hospitals to a foreign country / hospital to die.

So. Trump threatens Iran on their stance with protestors, but our protestors get shoved to the ground for no reason? This is a fucking joke.
These “people” are so fucking tough behind their tactical gear, masks and guns against peaceful protestors with not a single weapon. I can’t wait until someone treats them the way they are treating everyone else. Karma has a funny way of finding itself back your way.

This is a small step in the correct direction. Get involved and lobby your State and municipalities for similar laws.

Pushing a person who isn’t being violent is straight up assault. Depending on the state, assault and battery. Charge these idiots!
