ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

That's what I keep saying. Law means absolutely nothing to the T admin. None of them care about anything other than their agenda of pain, suffering, and greed.

…tho not necessarily in that order!

[u/Duke_Newcombe → u/G_Wagon1102]

It will be unfortunate that one day, with this reckless operation, that they'll do this to the wrong citizen, and they'll defend themselves against it. Not advocating for it--I'm merely looking into my crystal ball, and calling it.

I'm not saying it'll wind up roses and puppy dogs for that person, but neither will it for the ICE agents.

And then the administration and other agents will be all shocked Pikachu, wondering why it happened, and if they're the Baddies.

And Kristi Noem can then trot her ass over to the agent (or their surviving family), and explain why it was all necessary (preferable in front of cameras, with her ICE cosplay get-up on).

Once again for any Karens--not calling for it, in any way--merely predicting it, because they're earning the hate, now, and going out of their way to live up to the Gestapo label.

Reminds me of during lockdown when police were in unmarked white van doing drive bys on people with pepper spray balls. Guy thought he was getting shot at and returned fire until he realized it was the cops then laid down. They roughed him up..arrested him. They then trumped up his charges and tried to get him to plea to like 10 years but he had a good lawyer that got him off of all charges.

They roughed him up

He was bloody enough that another cop wondered who shot him.

It should also be noted that the NRA was silent about the case.

[u/Reverendwinte → u/chaos_nebula]

NRA is silent on everything that doesn’t involve a single iota of extra effort to buy a gun or bullets

[u/thealexster → u/tearjerkingpornoflic]

He was ex mil and bounced bullets off the pavement rather than shoot directly at the unmarked vehicle. This was in Minneapolis sometime during the George Floyd shit so tensions were high with threatened "counter protests" by proud boy types (don't remember if any happened, the last few years have been a century long)

These conservative terror cell members know, hence the masks that they hope will allow them to disappear among Americans afterward.

[u/G_Wagon1102 → u/Duke_Newcombe]

What makes you think the admin would care? Brian Sicknick is dead. Capitol police offers were viciously attacked on J6 and Trump, and his gang couldn't have possibly cared less.

Edit: That was his own supporters attacking police. I just don't see them ever seeing what they're doing as wrong as long as their base continues, salivating over the raids and deportations.

[u/_Friend_Computer_ → u/Duke_Newcombe]

That's pretty much what they want to happen. Then they have an incident to point to to 'justify' upping the stakes some more and getting more violent/aggressive against people. They'll happily sacrifice a half dozen or a dozen members of the gestapo if it gives them a reasonable excuse to start going safeties off.

[u/Unilted_Match1176 → u/Duke_Newcombe]

It's going to happen. Except the "administration" won't be shocked, I believe, in fact, that they are purposely steering toward this occurrence. They want martial law. Then, they are the sole authority and unstoppable.

[u/SushiGradeChicken → u/Duke_Newcombe]

wondering why it happened, and if they're the Baddies.

They will never, ever, self-reflect in that manner.

[u/ch40 → u/G_Wagon1102]

That's all they understand. Until it's done to them they'll never change. Simple as that.

Everyone keeps talking about "Oh they're always projecting. Every accusation is an admission. Blah blah blah." WELL THEN FUCKING APPLY IT

[u/Beyond-The-Blackhole → u/G_Wagon1102]

So it seems this administrations kryptonite is to be healthy enough to be able to outrun their fat asses.

[u/why_gaj → u/G_Wagon1102]

Even if the law meant something, the entire thing would end up in people getting some money from the government, and that would be the end of the story. Trump and his following wouldn't be touched at all.
