But make sure all protests are peaceful and don't cause too much trouble. Resisting is what Trump wants, that will give them the excuse to do what they are currently doing...

THE POLICE PROBLEM

The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.
99.9999% of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct is never investigated, never punished, never makes the news, so it's not on this page.
When cops are caught breaking the law, they're investigated by other cops. Details are kept quiet, the officers' names are withheld from public knowledge, and what info is eventually released is only what police choose to release — often nothing at all.
When police are fired — which is all too rare — they leave with 'law enforcement experience' and can easily find work in another police department nearby. It's called "Wandering Cops."
When police testify under oath, they lie so frequently that cops themselves have a joking term for it: "testilying." Yet it's almost unheard of for police to be punished or prosecuted for perjury.
Cops can and do get away with lawlessness, because cops protect other cops. If they don't, they aren't cops for long.
The legal doctrine of "qualified immunity" renders police officers invulnerable to lawsuits for almost anything they do. In practice, getting past 'qualified immunity' is so unlikely, it makes headlines when it happens.
All this is a path to a police state.
In a free society, police must always be under serious and skeptical public oversight, with non-cops and non-cronies in charge, issuing genuine punishment when warranted.
Police who break the law must be prosecuted like anyone else, promptly fired if guilty, and barred from ever working in law-enforcement again.
That's the solution.

MODERATORS
Notice how they bunch up around doors, acting like they are immune to mines and explosives.
This is exactly what the NRA told us for decades would happen under Democrats.
Exactly why I started arming myself last year too. Everyone should at this point just in case.
But this is happening to immigrants and people of color; not white, hetero conservative Christians. So it's completely fine. /s
I'm not sure the /s is really even necessary at this point right? That's exactly what supporters of this are saying over and over. I guess all it's missing of course is that every single person that's not a US citizen (or the right kind of us citizen) is a violent criminal rapist, murderer, and pedophile, who also sells and distributes every drug ever made and is also lazy and unemployed while somehow stealing billions of tax payer dollars. They are all essentially perennial all star criminals.
Textbook civil behavior from the woman filming and speaking, clearly restraining herself, asking for a warrant for the intrusion.
Textbook fascism from the invaders. Door to door searches for... What? Humans? Yeah it's been happening since forever but this is scaled up orchestrated violence.
"Are you hiding any browns in this house?"
- Not the SS?
Is MN not a Castle Doctrine state? Thought it was. I could see this stuff going really, really sideways in a state like NH or TX, both as Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground states. If no-badge, no-law thugs in balaclavas roll up and break into your house, how can that differ from a "real" break-in?
I honestly have no idea about my state, but if someone bursts into my home that I'm not expecting, they're getting filled with holes, idc who you are. Like someone else in this thread said, better to go out dead than be "disappeared" to who knows where for illegal reasons.
It is a Castle Doctrine State, but not a Stand Your Ground state.
Look at these Nazi psychos. Half a (typo edit) brigade in full military gear to take on an unarmed woman who has more balls than all of these losers combined. They're treating a peaceful city like a war zone.
When is our state government going to step in and push back with force?
Democrats still think being unarmed and asking politely will make Republicans listen. You also dont realize cop demographic also mostly filled with people who voted Republican and want this shit happening.
Y'all will never get it.

We REALLY need ICE to hit up a white MAGA 2A champion's house, kick down the door with no warrant, and immediately get peppered by the gun nuts inside.
Pleaaaaase. We need it so bad. I want them to realize that the tyranny to be resisted with arms is right in front of their faces.
So should I start a timer to see how long it'll be until this goes very badly wrong and people start dying again?
And the 2 FA people are crickets, as expected
No. Not silent. I just discovered my mom is pushing a fundraiser for the ICE shooter's family. The brainwashing is extraordinary. A cop could beat me to death in the street and she'd be there apologizing to the cop for his bruised knuckles.
Are you white and middle class? You'd better fucking sit up and take notice. That's not enough to protect you from these government thugs anymore.
You, me, and everyone we know are on the menu. Say the wrong thing, you'll get your door smashed in.
A bunch of pussies hiding behind masks and dark glasses and flashing flashlight at camera to not be recognized. They know what they are doing is wrong but they love hurting women and children too much to stop.
is where all the 4chan kids get funneled
Where the fuck are the NRA and the 2A stand up to a tyrannical government folks now that the US has a tyrannical government that needs standing up to? It's almost like they were a bunch of weekend warriora with murder fantasies all along and once push came to shove their micro-penises folded in on themselves and they are cowering in their bedrooms with the lights turned off.
Those people want to stand up to an imagined tyrannical "woke" government. Fascists are a-okay!
Shoot door kickers
And yet americans wont do anything about it.
Castle doctrine in my state. Unfortunately I don't live in a blue state Trump hates directly at the moment.
Edit: Also only person in my apartment, so if they're coming for me, it's gotten beyond the point of bad. To where it's better to die there than be taken away and /disappeared/.

Lmao the chunky ass gravy seal flashing the taser just froze up when she didn't cower in fear
I got a headache just from watching the video. Flashing lights like this when not dealing with a actual threat should definitely be considered a form of assault.
What's the jusitifcation for them carrying rifles? Completely bonkers
Intimidation, mostly.
But rifles would typically be what are used for this kind of work, planned raids. Pistols are for when you really don’t think you’ll need a gun. They’re vastly inferior, but much easier to carry.
These men are very poorly trained. They should not be holding their rifles pointed upward. It’s a more comfortable position that feels natural, but it’s very easy for an opponent to block the rifle so that it cannot be lowered into a firing position. Training tells you to keep the rifle pointed downward, because if someone attempts to keep you from raising it, you can drop to your knees to level the gun and fire.

What else are they doing to attach their AliExpress punisher holo sight too?
Horrible, stupid people. Why are they armed and covered up. They could walk away from that job. They know they are breaking the law. This is how it happened in Nazi Germany.
Nazi Germany was inspired by America's treatment of immigrants at the southern border. And America was inspired by Britain, which was inspired by Rome... it's all just imperialist and-or colonialist rot turned inward. The Nazis were evil, but not unique by any means.
The government (through ICE) is really all up in our shit, and we need to get pesky government outta here. Also, I'm a left-libertarian. Seriously!
It's fucking back to cowboy country. No rules of Law apply Anymore. Start shoot the dangerious People at your door America. Isn't that why you love your guns?

We need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes now more than ever. Seriously!
