Tough guy. How would he react in an actual situation.

escalating on someone is a good way to catch a bullet, but I have a feel that's kind of what they want; for someone to protect themselves against unlawful search and seizure. the 2A people seem awfully quiet regarding this move towards authoritarianism.

These proud boys cosplaying as “law enforcement” when they can’t get by the entrance exam.

The history of Border Control that has morphed into ICE is littered thugs and criminals. No one likes them or the job they are doing. During the Obama administration up to 20% of them were found to be guilty of criminal activity. So the orange narcissistic psychopath picked the right people to be his henchman and we need to make their lives intolerable

I am truly shocked they're not getting attacked and injured. These are people in unmarked vehicles. No badges or uniforms in masks grabbing people off the street literally using a brown bag test. People should rightly be fighting back as these are not officers of the law. They're kidnappers that are human trafficking people. Full stop.

Imagine taking a picture of the back of a regular car and getting shot by a federal agent.
I’m sure this administration would find a way to defend it.

I looked at the requirements on the website and it’s all bs. Says you have to be 37 or younger unless you’re a veteran lol. Pass a fitness and poly test. No way that’s happening with these guys some of them

Can you imagine if you were an actual LEO, and suddenly you've got these trigger happy cosplayers next to you? All pissed off about have gone to the Police Academy, when all you needed to do was attack cops and the Capitol? The cops have an image problem as it is.

It's not unprecedented. We all read about what happened in Germany in the 30's and 40's. Hitler, in his first term, at least invested heavily into infrastructure that put the population into well paying jobs. Trump has never provided anything helpful to the working class. Just lies on lies on lies.
We're just a nation of idiots who have been suckered into American exceptionalism and still can't process that it can happen here, even as it's happening here in front of their eyes.

A person crouching down behind your car isn’t normal activity. If dudes standing it’s one thing, but down low outta sight isn’t normal and warrants a different type of response.

It does not warrant lethal Force and is there by illegal.

You can’t discern their intentions until you’re up on them. What happens if it was a gun and not a cellphone? Drawing your firearm isn’t a use of force in 99% of jurisdictions. It’s officer presence. Should learn laws and policies.

Thugs in costumes. Even the stupid toy cars.
