Castanza Posted January 25 Posted January 25 8 hours ago, cubsfan said: It's a terrible awful tragedy. What in the world would possess him to take a gun, approach law enforcement, and then NOT comply to put his hands behind his back and actively resist law enforcement. IF you are law enforcement - and someone approaches you with a gun that is hostile to your efforts- you are in a very very dangerous situation. Cubs you’re either missing the obvious or unable to move past your blind support for law enforcement….there was 6 agents with the man subdued on the ground. The firearm was taken and THEN he was shot, not once but multiple times. ICE is not a group of well trained law abiding police officers. It’s the fastest scaled, “law enforcement squad” ever assembled. Higher number count than the US Marines. Little to no training with poor incentives. Cash bonuses to lure the Luddite’s. It’s a mercenary group of thugs to carry out political agenda. As someone who has many friends in law enforcement and military they all say the same thing about ICE. Their actions are downright despicable. The amount of constitutional rights violations these goons carry out vastly outweighs ANY positive outcomes they may be achieving. A good friend of mine is a detective locally and I had coffee with him about a month ago. In conversation it came up that two guys we went to H.S. with joined ICE. Absolute shithead individuals just looking for conflict. With how ICE was scaled this likely isn’t out of the norm. You know I lean conservative but generally fall middle of the aisle when it comes to politics. But you’ve got to reevaluate your position on some of this stuff. The worse ICE gets the more clear the quote rings true. Which is a sad reflection of where we are and how we got here. ”If liberals won’t control the border, fascists will.”
Castanza Posted January 25 Posted January 25 7 hours ago, cubsfan said: And he resisted and got himself shot. Very reckless. How often do you physically fight with the law? They are not the LAW What crime did he commit? What threat did he present? There is no way to justify that execution….none! There were stricter rules of engagement in Afghanistan! ICE is nothing but a gang of thugs using excessive force with zero restraint. They don’t use warrants, wear badges, cite laws or violations or even read rights. They break kneecaps and crack skulls. “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”

Particularly interesting to get colour from law enforcement. We have to get past the point where if you vote right (as many of us do here), you agree with everything the party you support says or does. And more than ever, we have to verify things. I haven't drilled down, but all sensible reports I've seen suggest he didn't have a gun. Though fascinating that Trump now saying only criminals carry guns... I love America (as a non-American I have great friends there and always enjoy visiting) and what I find upsetting is that the attitude and actions of ICE and the current administration feel so un-American.

What you are missing is rather simple: the man had a gun and he resisted Law Enforcement's efforts to surrender. He was a danger to officers and got himself shot by fighting with law enforcement. Really simple stuff. If you would rather believe @Castanza and his magic tricks - no problem.

Vance too back when he was angling for his own benefit. That SC Senator too. Ted Cruz too. It discredits one’s argument simply hanging the hat on “Nazi” because there’s sooooo many other, clear and more legitimate gripes out there. Perhaps they were early but not wrong. Trump 2.0 <>. Trump 1.0 (he has become much more ideological) Looking at the parallels: January 6 ~ Bierhaus Putsch SA ~ ICE homeland security covertly uses Nazi imagery and wording: Since when have Americans one heritage? Coincidence? Himmler ICE boss (even the frigging haircut is the same)

Cubs, you're wasting your time with people who have little or no perspective. As if tragedies and mistaken arrests never happen with "well-trained" law enforcement. Or elections don't have consequences. We voted for ICE. They're doing their jobs, despite constant obstruction by not only local "protestors" but governing local and State officials. No issues anywhere but places where breaking the law is encouraged. Sanctuary cities and states are breaking the law. Not only the laws Republicans like, but the laws in effect for everyone. They can't seem to grasp that simple concept. The slient majority largely approves because the end-goal is worthy even though getting there is messy. No one wants to see people die but when you take unnecessary risks with your life, consider the consequences.

The entire global media is covering this right now and i have not seen any article or coverage except from trump media that says this was totally in order.

These are the same libtards that screamed "Jan 6th Insurrection" - when Ashley Babbitt, a 5'2" beautiful patriot, crawled through a window, unarmed and was shot dead by a black cop twice her size. No tears shed for unarmed Ashley here - "the cop just putting down the insurrection". After all, she WAS a Trump supporter - so according to CoBF - she deserved it.

Are you supporting gun control as proposed by Trump now? Or is it another interest rate cap removal where you refuse to acknowledge you disagree with the Dear Leader? Its a cult.

Spekulatius Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Another food for thought. Trump is one year in his presidency. In 1934, many German (except Jews, gays, communists and Gypsies) would have thought that Hitler is doing a great job, one year after his election. If he had died then in 1934 through a stroke etc, his monuments might still be everyone in Germany and probably elsewhere. Historians would without doubt point out his plans for large scale concentration camps and the Endlösung ( he has written about in his book on Main Kampf in 1923 after all) but would people believe it? Just something to think about.
cubsfan Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Oh well - National Guard now being deployed to Minneapolis. Tampon Tim & Soy Boy Frey refuse to deploy their police to keep law & order - now POTUS will do so. Game is on.
SharperDingaan Posted January 25 Posted January 25 (edited) 10 hours ago, DooDiligence said: History rhymes The Nazi's used the brown shirts; the current administration uses ICE for the same purpose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung Its primary purposes were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies, disrupting the meetings of opposing parties, fighting against the paramilitary units of the opposing parties, especially the Roter Frontkämpferbund of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) and the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), and intimidating Romani, trade unionists, and especially Jews. Same as with Germany, it was tolerated as it meant employment when there otherwise wasn't any. A lot of the MAGA base would be out of work were there no ICE, deportations, over hiring in the varying security apparatus, and southern border patrolling. Similarly bought votes. It is to the US electorate to resolve it, they voted for it, they wear the domestic consequences. All that others can expect is increasing reliance upon mitigation, and higher volatility as we come to the mid-terms. Increasingly sell the US, buy anything but US, and park in anything but US, come back when mid terms results are known. Lots of opportunities for the nimble .....

"But, but, but - he's an ICU nurse!" Reckless and irresponsible
