"Leao, who gained his U.S. citizenship through military service, said he was treated “very fairly.”
“They’re just doing their job,” said Leao, who is of Angolan and Portuguese descent.
Okay. This did happen but the headline makes it seem like the marines are out in LA knocking heads. They were guarding federal property when the guy crossed the yellow line after being told not to. Dude was on his way to the V. A.
Jesus, that’s so much worse.
Okay and?
They were within their rights to protect the federal building. As shitty and it is. It seems out of proportion.
Don’t let the downvotes get to you.
A lot of people are really angry and scared, and they’ll take that anger out on anyone that gives them a convenient lightning rod.

Keep telling the truth and sharing the truth when you see it.
