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
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
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!

No. Never talk to police.
There is no police and right to a legal defense anymore in the US. Just goons.
Not true. Don’t comply in advance.
I didnt meant to say that you should give them anything, just that you shouldnt expect to be granted the rights you might expect. They will absolutely just put you in a cell for days, weeks, months if you dont answer their questions. People should be prepared for that.
Don’t expect it, demand it. Dissidents like Rumeya Ozturk have been freed after pursuing justice in the courts. What you say could happen but then it will be up t lo public pressure to force them to comply with the constitution and laws.
In the absence of legal protections, there is still no benefit of talking to police, even in the face of torture. Thugs have already made the decision to hurt you by the time they pull you off the street, nothing you say will convince them otherwise, and everything you say will be twisted to justify their behavior.
He's discussed how he did this to learn more about the process, and only because he's in a position of privilege being a public figure which gives him some measure of protection.
He has stressed that normal people should never talk to ICE or the police, except to clarify if they are being detained or to request a lawyer.
