This has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with intimidation. Immigration is just the excuse here, the message is we can take anyone anywhere even your congressional office. Fall in line or we will come for you.
Lemmy guess, democratic congressman’s office was invaded and excessive use of force was the cherry on top?
Hey, look at that! I was right!
Arrested for “harboring rioters” who blocked traffic. That’s not even close to a crime.
Blocking traffic, as much as it is a pita to drivers, is not rioting. It’s a peaceful protest and well within 1A.
It’s at worst a civil offense like a parking ticket.
Parking tickets are civil offenses?
Yeah, civil as opposed to criminal.
Traffic tickets blur the line between the civil/criminal courts. Especially in my state, where both speeding and the lowest level of assault will put you before the same judge. Since the lowest criminal charges don’t carry potential for jail time, even in the effect they have it’s difficult to tease out their differences.
American gestapo
And you’re next!
If trump isn’t going to be held accountable for these abuses, the agents carrying out these arrests should. Start arresting and charging ice agents
I’m GLAD we Didn’t make Lawful Behavior POLITICAL!
-Literally EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE!
Wtf? Why is there no comment by the Democratic Party? They should be furious
Because the Democratic Party are also owned by fascists.
They used to at least pretend to be furious. We need to demand they go back to at least pretending. This calls for a very strong letter. Someone get me our fearless leaders, Chuck Shumer and Ken Martin. And lets put in a call to AIPAC to get permission to write it.
We really need to make false arrests a criminal offense
Seems like a form of kidnapping to me.
And human trafficking, depending on what they do after the arrest.
But that doesn’t cover all wrongful arrests. Ive been arrested several times, and every time it was a wrongful arrest. I had to fight it in court and won freedom, but the police who arrested me will never face justice because they didn’t commit a crime. We need to make it criminal.
You can attack police if they attack you. These fuckers need consequences
Assaulting an officer carries more severe consequences though. So keep that in mind when you do, and make sure it’s worth it. If you know what I mean.
Sounds like they are refusing to show ID in a lot of cases (not sure if they refused here), so they are likely private citizens masquerading as officers.
If everyone did it, it would be unenforceable
Not even that many. All it takes is a solid majority. That’s of course why they keep us fighting eachother.
You “can” do anything at any time. Consequences still exist tho, especially if you arent a member of the correct group.
