    Maybe citizens should start physically intervening when non-uniformed people are trying to cuff random folks.

      You mean like Renee and Alex?

      It’s happening every day, we just aren’t hearing about it.

      I live here and even I have to dig to find the reports and videos.

      Many people have intervened many times. Minneapolis and Charlotte come to mind as city whose entire MO for weeks was intervening.

      In many situations it seems like enough to film them and they back off, like here. For Joan Sebastian, shot and killed by ICE last Monday in Maine, he was driving and there weren’t many people around to intervene at 7am. Bystanders did film part of the incident after Joan had already been shot, and it’s part of the evidence against the crazy fuck that shot him. I don’t know how anybody could have stepped in based on what I saw.

      I imagine myself witnessing situations like these so that I am ready.

      America, the spineless society, all talk with very little action from it’s people.

      I’m surprised someone hasn’t snapped yet and held an ICE agent hostage, I’m sure ICE agents would love their job even more when people start pulling guns on them more frequently and out of nowhere.

        Its matter of time until they try to grab the wrong person, and someone starts shooting, and it turns into a street battle. It’s inevitable, and “PeeWee Himmler” would love nothing more.

        You coward.

        You sit behind your keyboard and type this bullshit out - just like Donald Trump when he sits on his toilet every night to post “truths” on his shitty social media platform.

        Come over here and make a difference if you’re so goddamn brave.

        Most people who stand up to these people don’t even make the fucking news. And the brave ones that do don’t even get justice. Go Google Renee and Alex and educate yourself on our actual challenges you ignoranus.

        We’re fighting, and you’re ignoring us. You don’t give a fuck. It’s no skin off your back, eh? Just sit back and call us names. Just like the GOP. Donald Trump applauds your efforts here, he appreciates you and hopes this catches on.

          Coward? You Americans got your 2nd amendment, sort your country out, it’s not the job of a foreigner to figure out how your country should operate.

          Every day your country floods the news market with absurd headlines.

          Most people who stand up to these people don’t even make the fucking news. And the brave ones that do don’t even get justice.

          You’re telling me Renée Good or Alex Pretti didn’t make the news? I remember outrage about their passings, what did your country do in response?

          Take some responsibility for your nations actions and be the change you want to see.

            Your humility is truly inspiring. I can only imagine the amount of good you put out into the world (and that I could only hope to achieve). Especially with the eloquent way in which you speak; fuck… shivers and goosebumps

            How easy it is to forget about class, and instead just preach and judge. Cause ya know, division is the only way to peace

            Everyone appreciates you’re anger btw, we definitely don’t have enough of it
