I am always fascinated by people who place the burden of survival on everyday civilians, rather than the armed officers pulling up to their communities unannounced in unmarked vehicles and masks

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

In a free society you are *absolutely* allowed to follow law enforcement around public streets and document what they're doing.

I need Tom Brady to fix his tie pin.

great time for everybody to familiarize themselves with the concept of jury nullification. just in case!

Did this on Christmas Day and it was the absolute best.

This isn’t about immigration anymore. It’s about killing non-fascists.

Multiple federal circuits have ruled that simply having a gun is *not* enough to justify deadly force. The Second Amendment doesn't vanish near law enforcement.

I was on a committee once where a retired police officer suggested we ought to be training citizens how to interact with the police, and it was amazing to me that people think that way in a free society.

Buddy, I think we might need a little more effort from you at this point.

The problem is that all those dudes joined ICE so they could murder Americans with impunity. They never wanted to oppose tyranny. They just wanted to be able to freely murder anyone who opposed them.

It’s time to replace the presumption of regularity with a presumption of mendacity.

Just in case you missed it.

I don’t often agree with my friends from tu, but this is the only opinion any free American should have.

“The entire point of the last 50 years has been to create exceptions to constitutional protections. First for drug suspects. Then for terrorism suspects. Now for immigration suspects. Each exception normalizes the next. Eventually, the exceptions swallow the rule.”

Here’s a thread for folks who are just now realizing—or suspecting, correctly—that our criminal justice system (into which we can fairly lump law enforcement orgs like ICE and CBP) is fundamentally broken and profoundly pathological. I believe it boils down to three things: /1

Consider two alternative realities: one in which armed agents of the state know they may have to justify their behavior to a jury of their fellow citizens one day; and another in which they understand there is no realistic prospect of ever having to do so. Which do you prefer?

Oh, wow. No way. The government agents lied?

Reminder that Justice Kavanaugh’s rewriting of the constitution to allow police to engage in blatant racial profiling was based in part on his “belief” that police would exercise restraint. I don’t think he really believed that.
