US marshals doing all they can to dance around the arewethebaddies.gif realization.
Front Page edit: Video of it is in the comments. It's pretty gnarly.
Nothing gets conservatives off more than people who want a better future for everyone getting the shit beat out of them by people in uniforms

That's just what bullies would say while breaching the American Constitution. Fuck you traitors!
pastaholic74
He wasn't threatening them, he was imploring the officers to remember their oath to preserve and defend the constitution. Shame on them all.
LostInTheZone
Comply with a lawful order from who though. No badges, nametags or insignia to identify them or the agency they are with.
MericanFunkYeah
I found this off some other post, sorry don't have better video but it works
HornyPolice
He didn’t even flinch. #Hulk

Look at that asswipe trying sooooo hard to chop down that tree.
MericanFunkYeah
You miss him walking off afterwards flipping both birds. He ended up with a broken hand, it might of had to breaks. He doing fine tho
SomeDetroitGuy
A bunch of fucking cowards. And no, it is not lawful for a US Marshal to tell you where to stand on a public street.

If he were black he would have received more attention as we probably would have been watching another murder video.

"...the deputies believed that the force used was necessary"? I'm innocent your honor, because I believed that it was necessary at the time.

Of course they were scared, he's probably the only person out there capable of actually defending himself from their mob mentality.

Threatened by the tiny shred of conscience in the back of their minds that what he was saying & representing was correct. So scary

AintNoRestForTheWookie
Unarmed, unarmored dude facing off against a whole line of fully equipped federal agents and they felt threatened? Why? Because he is tall?
Skywatcher16
because he called their bullshit. liars fear honesty above all.
AintNoRestForTheWookie
Honesty is the greatest enemy of our current government.

Always thought that police PROTECTING something get those big ass shield and stand firm to protect the thing they say they're protecting
DV8fromNormal
Why don't they have the sense of being to see that not all situations are the same? They can keep safe without beating someone down too.
mahakalabhairava
they're protecting their tiny wieners.
maninthedarkness
They are supposed to use those shields like NFL linemen. Be a wall...not a flailing weapon.
Dagordae
The best defense is a good offense. Don’t need to run protection if everyone’s dead. Probably a bad axiom to police by.
LasciviousHedgehog
The US has a fundamentally broken approach to policing, even referring to non police as "civilians", as if police officers aren't civilians
Dietsurge
even in the fire department we see ourselves as civilians. we have legal control over a fire scene but a cop with a gun can supersede still
Dietsurge
my fave video is a fire truck legally parked to protect a highway accident. the cop orders the driver to move the truck and arrests him. USA
mahakalabhairava
that happens when they whack it to war films non stop and pretend to be actual soldiers.

We protect the U.S. by going to other countries and bombing anyone we please...

These ones weren’t trained or equipped for riot policing—this was a CBP version of a SWAT team (not many riots on the border).

Pussies. Fucking cowards. Ridiculous excuses for law enforcement. Disgusting. Ignoring their paths to uphold the Constitution.

Protect them from what? The guy was in sweats, you’re in full riot gear!

He had no weapons. It was him versus a half dozen armed "officers"

You're going to feel so safe, you'll be shitting blood
TheFatherMind
Well by that logic, if a police officer walks toward us we can feel threatened and beat him with a stick. The police make me feel threatened
reynman17
Did anyone ever feel safe around police?
TheFatherMind
When I was younger I did. Until I was in my twenties and they started harassing me.
dudeinsha
Whenever law enforcement organizations feel the need to add “lawful” to their explanations you know something is fishy af.
gray317
If there is no identification that they are actual law enforcement, and they refused to identify themselves, then it's not lawful.
shitonyourmom
Right? “That word... it doesn’t mean what you think it means.”
EsteOesteNorteSur
heartsfang
Also, it is pretty explicitly, *NOT* lawful.
blastedsteak
“The marshal felt threatened.” 1 unarmed guy standing still, vs 10+ armored soldiers.... right.... I’m sure the Marshall was terrified.
dudeinsha
Exactly
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
"What we did TECHNICALLY isn't against the law" is top shelf, as flimsy moral justifications go
swellguy18
Yup. Illegal things aren't necessarily immoral, and what's legal isn't necessarily moral. Legality is not morality. They're different things
lncorrectGrammerNazi
Friendly reminder that slavery was legal for the ~ first 100 years of America. Women couldn't legally vote until 1920. Blacks couldn't…
lncorrectGrammerNazi
…freely vote until 1966. Laws are a terrible test of morality.
mirria
anyone whose primary defense that what they did "wasn't illegal"...
merelyadequategooglymoogly
Are these commands lawful if the marshals are operating outside their lawful jurisdiction?
Dagordae
Nope. That’s the entire point of jurisdictions, to divide powers.
LizardEnterprises
They aren't outside of their jurisdiction though. As near as we can tell, these are border patrol agents.
LizardEnterprises
I want to be clear, I am 100% not defending the use of a fucking gestapo by a fascist president. I'm just sayin, this shits been legal.

LizardEnterprises
Which is why no one is actually being charged, as near as we can tell...
RobBobertyYT
Does that mean anything if they don't identify as border patrol?
LizardEnterprises
AFAIK there is no case law on that particular subject. Establishing standing for that lawsuit would be difficult. Unless you shoot one...
techmonkey
Don't forget that international airports are considered "borders" too. Need to add 100mi around all of them.
SomeDetroitGuy
Not even remotely.
FlyingSpaghettiMonsieur
“Less than lethal” so anything that doesn’t actually kill your citizens is cool. It’s less than lethal.
HillOfBeans
Ask George Floyd and others. It would appear that lethal is fine too. Nazi motherfuckers.
newsguycraigevans
The cruelty is the point
krapmyself
Haha!!! Dude was wearing shorts, t-shirt, and a backpack and they were in full riot gear and were afraid of him hurting them. Lmaooooo
Imhereforthelurking
Did you see Officer baby Ruth swinging for the fences at the hulk of a man standing before him like a wall? If I were a pissbaby larper,
Imhereforthelurking
Id be afraid for my freedom to crack skulls and stamp out teeth too!!
dbba
When you're a weak-ass, spineless, boot-licker, any man or woman who stands up to your bullying, no matter how non-threateningly, is scary
krapmyself
Oh, I'm sorry, he was wearing a sweater. Of course, that changes everything. Clearly he's a danger to everyone around him! /s
kakivara
Yeah, that's the thing. If a cop in that position is actually afraid, then they have no business being a cop at all. They're bad at the job.
kakivara
That's why the whole "but they were very scared" excuse is bullshit to start with.
justsomeinternetperson
Arm yourselves! They'll think twice next time...

I just want married gay couples to protect their pot plants with guns
justsomeinternetperson

SomeDetroitGuy
Stop this fantasy. The cops will quickly and effectively kill you.
DarkZalgo
And that second thought will be to grab their gun and fire. Escalating violence is exactly what shouldn't be happening.
SomeDetroitGuy
In nearly every case, cops escalate violence
DarkZalgo
Yes, that is the implication I made.
bril350
Im not pro-gun by any stretch but its ironic that the only truly armed (i.e had guns and armor) black protest had zero police violence
bril350
Against them which to me says alot about police being both cowards and bullies cause they wont mess with people who can fight back if needed
bril350
For context im talking about the recent-ish march at a confederate monument (i dont remember the name)
justsomeinternetperson
I'd rather die on my feet, Than beg Nazi's on my knee's...
Abfallkonto
That’s a false choice if I’ve ever heard one
justsomeinternetperson
There's literally secret police snatching people off the street right now... But enjoy your complacency.
Abfallkonto
Right, but your options aren’t limited to “shoot them” or “beg on your knees”. That makes your comment a false choice.
WehWehWeh
But the Police are escalating it constantly while the protestors do nothing
