Someone needs to remind Black cops that there are no Black people with guns in Trump's America, their time will come. There are also no women cops. Helping to undermine minority groups is slow motion suicide.
Sometimes I wonder if the POC and women in the force there are hoping to stop violence if it happens - or undermine ICE. But then I realize I'm probably naive.
It is good to see people resisting the dirty pork.
Tag your toe you literally look for political posts to complain about if you don’t like it go find an app from your own country. This app is owned by and operated out of the United States. It has always been filled with political posts but only now have the idiotic trolls come out of the wood work to complain.
Booo, fuck you! I love how lame the calls are! You need a few English football fans to start a terrace chant for you - ‘ok lads, this one is called “get lost, piggy” to the tune of colonel bogey, but in 3:4 time, Go”.
All I see are a bunch of armed Thugs on the street. Wheres the Horde of murderous, rampaging rapists who are eating our pets? Are they hiding in the coffee shop there across the street?
Civilian citizens of DC, not citizens as in natural-born or naturalized. You can be a citizen of an American city without having legal citizenship status. Perfectly legal too if you're a green card holder or have applied for asylum, among other possibilities.
So what's stopping you from doing it already then? If you're so willing to throw yourself needlessly into the meat grinder, why don't you find your nearest ICE office and go hog wild? You talk the talk, but you haven't walked the walk despite claiming to be willing, if not eager to do so.
I am one of the dozens of people who DOESN'T live in the USA, unbelievable as that sounds. Also you yanks always assume that anything more than a lame protest must involve guns, it is SUCH a weird thing, like the amount of times totally different people replying to totally different comments all go "OH SO WHAT, I SHOULD START SHOOTING!??!" In a way it's really sad.
Guns are assumed because that's exactly what a vast majority of these people are calling for. These same people almost always say that protesting doesn't work. I still go. Many, including myself have called representatives a bunch of times. I attend bannering events. I'm politically involved in my community. So then, what else are these people calling for? What actions? It's plain and simple. They're calling for guns or violence almost every time. They just won't say the words out loud.
There really isnt as far as theyre concerned. Since you have such strong opinions I'm sure you've seen people getting scooped up by gestapo and protesters getting their shit kicked in for doing next to nothing. Add in everyone knows this is bait so he can officially declare marshal law, and dont understand how you cant fathom people are afraid, both for their own safety and to play into exactly what he wants.
I totally understand why people are scared, what I can't fathom is why they are okay with open fascism. Like "oh it's all bait to declare martial law" is a load of bollocks when we are on a post about how he has deployed troops onto the streets of the capital to snatch undesirables! This is why I am shocked at people just standing and booing.
A majority of the people in the US are NOT okay with it. Just because we're not willing to single handedly go shoot up a bunch of pigs doesn't mean we're complacent or fine with it. It's a question of what can be done? I've contacted reps, protested, done bannering events, and disowned my Trump-voting relatives. What else is there to do short of violence? And just because individuals are not willing to kick off said violence doesn't mean they're okay with it either. What can we honestly do RN?
While true, we have seen incredible coordination at the community level against this. It’s the alternative to just tossing moltovs at them. They’ve just been deployed, the people are just trying to appeal to their sense of patriotism. If that doesn’t work? We can circle back to those moltovs.
Tossing molotovs plays right into Trump's little hands. Protest in your finest sunday best, put older women at the front, make every move the cops make not only *be* an atrocity but *look* like an atrocity. Silent protests work *wonders* and are such an uncomfortable eerie sight. Fascism at this stage will likely grow with direct violence, but can be stifled with being made ridiculous (and directly preventing violence - hiding immigrants, falsifying papers, gumming up bureaucracy, etc.)
We are at the point where protesting is being criminalized. Either you start fighint back against the people ACTIVELY fighting you, or you find yourself the next victim. Stop being afraid of being inconvenienced or of confrontation. Rights are being forcibly taken.
I didn't say don't fight back - but fight back smart. Don't play their games, don't fall into their traps. There's a huge difference between "quietly and firmly block the streets so ICE can't get through, using well-dressed, middle-class looking people" and "do nothing". And like I said - you can do a lot to gum up the works, to falsify documents, make anonymous false reports, etc.
This is why you lose. They are counting on the sane people to abstain from violence. You’re not peaceful. Your harmless.
You can't truly call yourself 'peaceful' unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.”
They know this and this is what they are counting on.
That and people won’t risk their jobs, lives or anything to make a change.
Nothing in my message said "be peaceful", I said that being violent in a flashy, aggressive manner is what they want - and *generally* it's better to avoid traps. There are lots of ways to directly prevent violence, including things like risking your job. I've been out of a job for months, in part because I refuse to work for any LEO-style organizations.
