whow--this ICE man needs to be charged--he could have killed someone!
Police don't just take out their guns and shoot at people--even if to scare them--and more importantly, they then arrest the person they shot at!!!
Something is wrong with all of this!!

These cant be trained federal agents. No way. These are most likely deputized proud boys and oath keepers cosplaying and people are going to get killed because of this. When you put clown in charge, dont be surprised when you get a circus.

Again, a lot of the footage Ive been seeing shows no ICE or FBI credentials.
Career law enforcement, albeit sometimes flawed, usually (not always)
handle these things in a much more orderly manner.

(2,333 posts)This is completely out of hand. These people are not cops. That fatboy is a wanna be.
The big problem is someone is deputizing a bunch of untrained, right wing cosplayers and working with them while they commit illegal acts instead of protecting and serving.
Are any news outlets local or national or even informal that are reporting on the identity and provenance of these people? There has to be a way they are signing up.
Masked people (other clips) in civilian clothing taking people captive without any charges or hint of due process? That is the definition of secret police.
This bullshit has to stop. San Diego and LA are modeling the behavior we have to adopt everywhere.

(14,714 posts)The second a responsible adult took the presidency, following their willing participation in trying to quash dissent among citizens and their eager actions as a willing private military force under the T1 administration.
They are not cops, they have never been. This is what they always were and will be. They are the people the cops rejected as unfit, for a variety of reasons. The fact they were not immediately shut down when we had the opportunity will haunt this country for a long time, in my opinion.

(14,714 posts)Nothing about that setup looks official or even like proper current law enforcement. Looked to me much more like a random civilian, citizenship unknown, who agressively brandished a gun public while threatening the public, and I do believe Tennessee has fairly strong stand your ground laws for such situations.
