This bald Nazi wannabe talks big, but I bet he would collapse on his knees and cry for mommy if he found himself being mugged in an alleyway.
What the fuck is wrong with this psycho? Was he bullied at school or something?
He almost cried and ended up shouting like a child when a reporter confronted him on if he believed Maduro’s crime stats.
He will definitely cry if he’s mugged.
I keep that link bookmarked.
It's a gem.
Wow. I have SO much respect for that reporter. EVERY reporter should take a lesson from him. Thank you for sharing.
That's amazing that he refers to children being raped over and over again in that clip, and then says Trump will be elected to fix it.
He claimed Donald Trump, who is in the Epstein Files, will stop children being raped.
And that "the Hispanic community will benefit the most" comment made me LOL!
Magical. Thanks for sharing. If only the rest of the media was this dogged.
He has interviews from the first term where he is clearly all coked up and shouting over the interviewers and accusing them. Reporters need to cut them off when they shout over them and abuse them on camera.
He literally turned red and broke a sweat.
I bet he feels uncomfortable anytime he walks the city streets. Probably much more at home in the sewers
Closest this guy gets to streets is in his gated community driveway
Cheesus. Did his elementary school teacher really talk about him pouring glue on his forearm, letting it dry, peeling it off and eating it?
Not bullied enough obviously
Hey, there's still time
“The gangbangers that you deal with, they think that they’re ruthless, they have no idea how ruthless we are,” Miller added.
“They think they’re tough, they have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore, we are so much more hardcore than they are, and we have the entire weight of the United States government behind us. What do they have? They have nothing behind them. So we are gonna win, they’re gonna lose.”
This reads like edgy fan fiction. Like, I would fully expect to hear this exact dialogue coming from Shadow the Hedgehog in some weird cop AU
Great, now I just keep imagining Miller crying alone in the dark while singing along to his Korn/Three Days Grace "xXmegamiXx" on Spotify at full volume in front of God and everybody like it's still 2002 or something
They are harassing and intimidating the entire city for no fucking reason other than to harass and intimidate.
From the Memphis subreddit tonight: They are pulling EVERYONE over looking for warrants. Get yo 💩right
Can the helicopters please stop circling?! I do not feel safer…
Not only warrents...this is an opportunity to visually search your car. If the interior of your car is a dumpster...clean it and vacume it. A clean car reflects on the driver, plus gives John Law less time in your car. This action isn't about curtailing crime as much as intimadating lawful citizens into submission. For many it's going to be a test. Is standing up for your rights worth a night in jail.
The helicopters are definitely being using as a means to intimidate large portions of the population at once.
Saw armored trucks, black vans, and so many state troopers. 6-7 people pulled over
This is not normal. This is rising fascism at work. Do not forget that.
They have moved on to citizens. Not long now, they are getting practice in at detaining them to try to cow people out of resisting once they start actually arresting them in throwing them in ICE facilities.
Also:

IDK what this guy means by "standing up for your rights" but I suspect it means "start an argument with the cops and in the process slip up and give them some good legal reason to arrest you which they will be happy to do, because you have no idea about the law." Maybe I'm wrong. But if anyone is in this situation I would really advise you not to get all aggressive with the cops thinking that's going to be the move that saves us all.
It probably means refusing to answer questions or provide documents you're not legally required to. Or refusing a search of your vehicle without probable cause.
The police aren't going to wait for an argumentative civilian to slip up and give them a legal reason to arrest them. They're just going to arrest them because they feel like it. Random people don't necessarily know the law, but police also don't know the law. They're not even required to know if the thing they're pulling you over for is even illegal.

I take it to mean what it literally says. Standing up for your rights vs just letting a cop hassle you for no reason and do whatever they please as if those rights don't exist.
Example, you don't have to allow a cop to search your vehicle without probable cause. But do you want to risk challenging the cop? What if they end up finding something else to bring you in on?
What's even more fucked up is that even if you don't have a reason to worry about them searching your car, giving up your right to refuse could very well allow a cop to plant evidence during a search. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

See, this is a great example. Three possible scenarios:
A lot of YouTube lawyers think that behaving like #3 is going to lead to a #1 outcome. It is not. It is going to lead to additional charges, and your lawyer (assuming we're still in a legal landscape where probable cause things are still relevant at all) is going to be mad at you for fucking up so badly at dealing with the cops. A lot of people do #3 and think they are "standing up for their rights." Those people usually spend some time in jail (and if ICE is involved, God help you if you hand them some additional rope to hang you with all on your own volition, I don't even know what that gets you.)
#2 is enough to protect you legally. Now I don't really know whether you or the Reddit guy are advocating for #3. I have no idea. Maybe you mean having a recording of the cops, maybe you mean having legal aid on standby and making sure you make a record of the illegal search so a good lawyer will be able to toss the case. I have no idea, I'm just speculating. All I'm saying is, I have seen a ton of people who seem to believe they are "standing up for their rights" when they are in reality fucking themselves to a really extreme degree. Please know what you are talking about if you decide to stand up for your rights.
You can be Anne Frank's family, or you can be Oskar Schindler or Ben Ferencz. Or whatever you want to do. What I am saying is that standing up when the Nazis are stopping you and asking for papers and getting in their face and pointing your finger and yelling about how this isn't right, man, is probably a tactical mistake (and in in our modern legal system I've observed that the type of people who like to do this seem to have this common skill and habit for committing bunches of extra crimes they don't realize they are committing while they are standing up for their rights, in their mind.)
Food is often mistaken for drugs. Roadside tests of drugs have high false positives especially when they are not done correctly. As reported in propublica and elsewhere.
That ziploc that had a sandwich or bread crumb could get you locked up, with no end in sight if you can't bail out, but you can get out right away if you plead.
This dude is only 40? That's a rough 40! Im older than him, and my stress is huge, yet I look 20 years younger than him.
[Miller] "They have nothing behind them. So we are gonna win, they’re gonna lose.”
"They" live in a city of over 600,000 people in a nation that hates you, with access to hundreds of millions of firearms. YOU'VE got your adorable little 50 arrests, 20 confiscated firearms and a steady supply of "let's kill em all bullsh*t" You haven't thought this through.
This dude was bullied by his own lunch money in school.
53 arrests in 2 fucking days? For what?
Existing While Black or Brown.
It's an older crime, but you'll find it quite ~~unbreakable~~... uhmm, legal
And in their haste to prove how "hard core" they really are, some jackass with the task force has already managed to roll his vehicle on top of another vehicle that was just sitting at a red light, and put some poor kid in the hospital.
I hope he sues the state and federal government.
Unmarked car involved in crash, ends up on top of vehicle in Frayser, witnesses say
Witnesses told WREG Wednesday evening that the unmarked vehicle was chasing the other car when it was hit going through an intersection at Frayser Boulevard and Watkins Street.
The unmarked vehicle had its blue lights on but did not have sirens on when it entered the intersection, witnesses said.
Who needs sirens during a chase? People should just expect you to come barrelling through an intersection any moment.
Witnesses said that the woman driving down Watkins Street collided with an unmarked vehicle that was chasing another car on Frayser Boulevard.
A witness reported that the collision caused the unmarked car to become airborne and land on top of another vehicle at a red light.
This is so fucking dumb and infuriating. Straight out of Idiocracy. Day 2 and you've already almost killed someone's child who happened to be in the way of your airborne vehicle.
“And let me be very clear. I am a career prosecutor. If you touch a law enforcement officer, it is a crime and you are going to jail. We are arresting anyone who touches any of you,” said Bondi.
Honesty expecting Bondi to claim that kid was with antifa.
They’re trying desperately to turn the US into a totalitarian police state. Not that it wasn’t before, but man they really hate freedom.
He doesn’t understand how the game is played.
You’re supposed to pretend to help people while actually oppressing them.
Saying the quiet part out loud gives the game away.
53 arrests in two days… in a city the size of Memphis. How many millions of our taxes went into each arrest?
This whole gang of idiots is more pathetic than I ever knew a human could be. This is what happens when your parents hate you.
I'm in my positive future phase today, so I'm imagining how people like Peter Thiel, pretty old by then, reminisce about the biggest mistakes of their lives past:
"So yeah, at first we thought it was a genius idea - my idea btw - to put raving media pundits in positions of power. Who could've foreseen it would all end like that."
Maybe even with a nostalgic tear for long-diseased Uncle Donny, everybody loved him, he wasn't even the worst of the monsters now, was he.
We're definitely in the "Oops! All Joffrey's" chapter of America's game of thrones.
deployed ... FBI, DEA, ATF, ICE, and the Department of Defense
Yeah cool, you just froze all their income. Sure they're loving you rn and happy to go be the enemy of the people for free.
"In the place where I stand before you, Judges of Israel, to present the case against Adolf Eichmann, I do not stand alone. With me, at this moment, stand six million accusers. But they cannot rise to their feet, point an accusing finger towards the glass booth, and cry out towards the one sitting there – "I accuse." For their ashes are piled up on the hills of Auschwitz and the fields of Treblinka, washed away in the rivers of Poland, and their graves are scattered across Europe, from one end to the other. Their blood cries out, but their voices cannot be heard. Therefore, I will be their mouthpiece, and I will say on their behalf the terrible indictment." -Gideon Hausner, opening statement
