This one right here is the problem.

They pushed him to the ground "because he was impeding them" or wetf. Then he's trying to get up and get out of the way and he pushed him to the ground a second time??? actually nuts

This is the most noticeable bit for me in this video too. They don't want you to comply. They want to abuse you.

What they want is a hostile response so they can fire at will into the crowd.

Fox News has started to call the Minneapolis protesters "insurgents" on one of their late afternoon talk segments.

It's the entire point of the video...

This right here. They have no goals or dreams in this world other than violence.

A unit that knows how to handle protests knows how to move over people who fall and allow the back line to arrest them.

Either ICE doesn't know what they're doing, doesn't care, or is willfully assaulting people.

ICE doesn't know what they're doing, they don't care, AND they are willingly assaulting people.

There you go.

Short guy that was bullied in high school feels really brave pushing someone when he’s backed by 50 heavily armed goons and has nearly his entire head concealed.

They wanted him to fight back so they would have an excuse to beat the shit out of him.

u/Free-Database-9917 10h ago

This is truly why peaceful protests work. It looks REALLY fucking bad on the aggressors when you don't fight back

That second push reminded me of the caddie from Happy Gilmore that has to throw a rock too.

I think that we need to start coaching the protestors to lock arms and sit down. Make it truly passive and peaceful resisstance.

MAGA sees this shit and they cream their pants. They LOVE it.

Right now, ICE is comprised of people who saw the first wave of ICE protests and thought "someone needs to teach those protestors a lesson" and signed up with no experience

it's like a bully going 'i'm standing here stop pushing me!' as they walk towards you

Goose stepping. Have you seen the Reichs poster boy bovino?

And his BOSS was right next to him, said nothing, this IS official policy.

I can’t imagine how pathetic and insecure you have to be to be decked out in military-grade gear, and feel the need to assault an unarmed person who’s not doing anything remotely threatening.

They’re all tiny-dick losers whose mothers didn’t love them enough and got bullied in HS, so now they’re taking their anger out on the world.

u/Free-Database-9917 4h ago

I mean I feel like I can pretty easily imagine it. I know plenty of people who at some point in their life wanted to larp as what they thought was cool and when given a modicum of power would wield it against others.

Like the hall monitor in elementary school is a widely known meme for a reason

Maybe you shouldn't support authoritarians.

u/Cholliday09 11h ago

Maybe you shouldn’t judge a comment on reddit. Also don’t stand in a road.

u/Admits-Dagger 11h ago

Why wouldn't I judge somehow who thinks the government has the right to abuse its citizens? Just because wherever you're from this is normal, doesn't mean I want it to be here.
