Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I am lucky not to be in america, and I am not in that position, but if an Ice agent does this to a pregnant woman in front of me, I am sure as hell going to do something emotional in that moment.
I am suprised we have not really seen crowds jumping small groups of Ice agents to rescue their neighbours.
The one issue is they want that to happen. Then they can justify using Force against people as they try to do this. One of the reasons they brought national guard into many of these cities was so that way if it devolved into the use of force they had justification to start shooting immigrants.
You are absolutely correct. I am not sure I would be able to stay that diciplined for this long.
At some point, I expect they wont care about having an excuse and start escalating the violence anyway.
I can guarantee they're going to continue test late until they get to that point. They're testing the waters to see how far Americans are willing to let it go. They're already getting followed they're already getting filmed that already getting the whistle brigades after them which currently are one of the best uses because it draws attention to what they're doing they can't do it in the secret and the fact that they started hitting these guys to snowballs and started fighting back in other ways really does help.
If you want an example of what they're waiting on you look at the shooting that happened at the two national guard members in Washington dc. Most likely was false flag attack and it was sponsored by the CIA because it was an ex CIA trained agent that did the shootings. And they probably paid him and his family a rather huge sum or guaranteed that his family would receive full asylum in the united states. Which I'm sure will be stripped away from them the moment they deem that he is no longer useful to them.
I have seen videos of exactly that in Chicago actually. In the one, the masked assholes just get up, jump into their shitty unmarked sedan and drive off.
I've seen tons of videos where exactly that happens, some of them as little as four people walking towards them purposely sent them running. I think I've only seen one where they managed to get someone already handcuffed away, but tons where ICE just gets back in their cars and leave
