Time for leftists to start cosplaying as ICE and disappearing redneck shitbags

All the CPB I've seen in the southwest wear standardized uniforms, drive clearly marked vehicles, and don't hide their faces.

So anyway, I started blasting

This is why you have to be armed at all times and ready to interfere

That looks like a gang, operates like a gang, and should be kicked off of the turf of any self-respecting gang, imho.

There's like no difference between them and these guys.

Oh so they can breathe through those masks. Isn't it strange how it was difficult for them 4 years ago but now they're totally fine with it.

Where's the well regulated militia you Americans scream about so loudly when someone suggests not letting a mentally ill child own an assault rifle?

Isn't this exactly the government tyranny that argument is used to defend against?

A lot of these areas have much more stringent gun laws. Yes, they can own the guns, but they can't carry them. Carrying/displaying will probably get them arrested and charged with a weapons felony.

I'm usually told we've moved beyond the need for people to do that. Then we should just leave the use of force to the police: The organizations that consistently seem to try to prove we can't trust them. I agree, the police should be an organization Americans can trust: How can we make them that way?

Does anyone see the irony?

  • U.S. conservatives "trust" the police, but still want civilians to be armed.
  • U.S. "leftists" distrust the police, but want them to be the only ones armed.

The U.S. never fixed their trust issues with police. So this seems like the logical result.

Why aren't masked and armed individuals with weapons and no badges, that make attempts to abduct people, being shot?

[–] Eyron@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Probably because the Democrats are so anti-gun/weapon. The target demographic probably leans anti-weapon, even if they're not necessarily Democrats. The combination keeps them more vulnerable. It's even worse when carrying weapons in these areas is outright banned: no training, no permits, only police. The safety of the group is generally prioritized over the safety of the individual. Which, like here, can be a problem.

From how they're acting, it seems only a matter of time. They seem to check all of the boxes for a lethal or deadly force in nearly every state, even the strict ones. An unidentified suspiciously dressed group aggressively surrounding you and preventing your retreat? Lethal/deadly force can often be used to defend another person. Someone else can shoot these idiots in plain clothes with no identification.

Even if "police" identify themselves late, it seems to be setting themselves up for a weak defense

Because the whole second amendment thing was about carrying a gun in the hope that you get to shoot a black person, a school kid or a teacher.

Dox all these fuckers. Attack and take their masks. Spread photos everywhere you can. Make their lives terrible. They're not law enforcement they're gestapo.

Perhaps the only valid use for glitter
