If you lived in Minneapolis, and an ICE agent demand ID.....
......would you comply. (You have broken no law. You're just walking into the grocery store.)
Why or Why not?
Yes 2a is crazy, yes most of us have argued that, yes that is completely off topic to the point
Lol, this so much. It’s incredibly annoying to hear idiots going, “Oh, okay so now lefties are down with 2A???” ****ing moronic.
This is the law, they said. This is the way it HAS to be, they said. But suddenly, wait wait no actually…
**** off.
Did they brandish their weapons at a protest or no? NO they were on their private property a gated community I do believe they never attended the protest the protest was going down their streetI'll help: yes. And they brought them outside and pointed them at people who were protesting. Yes they did a batshit crazy thing to do stay in your house So conservatives honored them b
Were the **** did I defend it I think they are crazy just get your facts straight
Wow Kyle Rittenhouse now these two and I am the king of whataboutisms
I'm an American. I'm older now, and cops mostly leave me alone. but when I was younger I was unjustly abused by them regularly, and so was everyone I know with the wrong color skin. and poor white people too. black people and native get it the worst statistically. it's a fairly big part of your life to fear the police. still everytime I see I cop I get triggered. and I'm even m
Is it completely because you are older or perhaps things have improved? No doubt it happened alot and still happens but on a city by city base it might not be super common anymore. like in a city called Minneapolis I would expect it to be way better then it was before

cops have a long, consistent history of unjust abuse and murder. it is super common if you are unlucky enough to be the wrong demographic.
cops target younger people more than older people. plus at 54 years old, i've learned to avoid behavior that triggers their interest. but I really do think it's mostly just that i've aged into a demographic they leave alone more. also I rarely leave my house. and i'm mostly in wealthier areas now.
also I can afford to drive a car that is registered and has working tail lights and all that. I dont' have to walk places like I used to, or bicycle, or take public transportation. so I'm not as exposed.
and idk if i'd say it's better in Minneapolis right now. two completely innocent people were just executed in the streets
Minneapolis seems pretty bad but that just could be due to the depravity of the Philando Castille and Daunte Wright and George Floyd executions.
Probably should just post the entire article. So much bullshit.

A Myanmar refugee nursing a five-month-old, arrested and shipped to Texas. A Mexican man who sustained severe skull injuries during an arrest by ICE and was shackled in the hospital against doctors’ wishes. A Kenyan woman detained after picking up seizure medication. A Ukrainian refugee arrested for no apparent reason.
In other words, an ordinary weekend for federal judges in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge, the Trump administration’s mass deportation push in the Twin Cities.
And in all but a handful of cases, those judges have ruled that the Trump administration violated the law, sometimes flagrantly.
Spokespeople for the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
“There is simply no legal reason for keeping this mother 1800 miles away from her children,” the Clinton appointee said. “While the Court recognizes that many families are suffering due to … ICE actions in the District of Minnesota, there is something particularly craven about transferring a nursing refugee mother out-of-state.”
The most common challenge raised by ICE’s targets is that they have been detained without due process — often arrested without a warrant and without the opportunity for bond hearings to remain released while deportation proceedings are pending. Judges across the country have overwhelmingly rejected the Trump administration’s bid to lock up nearly everyone it is targeting for deportation — a sharp break from every administration of the last 30 years, which prioritized detention only for those deemed dangerous or likely to flee.
“There has been an undeniable move by the Government in the past month to defy court orders or at least to stretch the legal process to the breaking point in an attempt to deny noncitizens their due process rights,” Davis wrote in a Sunday ruling. “With the evidence currently before the Court, it can only conclude that Respondents are attempting to ‘undermin[e] the regulatory and statutory authority of the immigration courts to coerce perpetual, infinite detention.’”
It’s hilarious all the people trying to lecture the lefties about 2a
The whole world is incapable of deep thought. Just the lowest common denominator across the board going for the laziest, sloppiest, dumbest rhetorical technique imaginable.

It was never about 2a really. The right has absolutely no ideology. It was about fighting the people they feel are a threat to their lifestyle. It's obvious they don't care about government trampling on rights, as long as it isn't THEIR rights. They are just completely devoid of the ability to look at any issue on a higher level than their id allows.
But the conservative justification for the importance of the 2nd amendment has always been defense against tyranny, not poor people.
This is true but maga and the far right dont think their rights are being taken away. They think they're being restored or something. The guy who got killed by police carrying (not a rwer) didnt think that. It doesnt matter what the far right think here.
Id imagine that you might start seeing little pockets of peaceful armed groups forming around and it might not have the effect that you may think it would.
Minnesota is like 60/40 partisan in gun ownership. They arent were never the monolith that the anti gun crowd thought.

white people who put themselves in harms way for what they believe so not randoms. no one says cops are perfect but the alternative of no police is certainly worse. profiling is certainly a strategy unfair or not but its not a reason to abolish the system. Would love to hear alternatives tho

says you. and I assume you're just guessing.
it's not worse for George Floyd and his family. not worse for me and my family.
the millions of people rioting in 2020 wanted to at least give it a try and see how it goes
'Peaceful armed groups' is a novel concept. I wouldn't try promoting in, say, Sudan or Nigeria.
it worked great for the black Panthers in Oakland, Los Angeles, and other cities.
idk how aware people are that in the 1980s, the Philadelphia pigs made a bomb and dropped it out of a helicopter on a residential neighborhood killing several people, including kids. and destroyed multiple city blocks. I'm too lazy to post the picture of the destruction. but it's easy to find.
Conservatives could just take over State Houses(Michigan etc) while armed during the covid protests lol

yeah a few cities did and it turned out to be a disaster. someone getting killed by police doesn’t mean we take away cops, guaranteeing even more murders, assaults, rapes, thefts, lower response time, etc.

I live in the Philadelphia suburbs, so I am very familiar with the MOVE organization you are referring to. There wasn't a whole lot of sympathy for MOVE. They were a violent, heavily armed, militant organization that terrorized their neighborhood. The mayor of Philadelphia at the time was an African-American Democrat named Wilson Goode. How enraged were people about Wilson Goode's response to MOVE? He was reelected after MOVE happened. Again, this was a black mayor dropping a device on an organization of African-Americans in an African American majority city -- and he was reelected.
The mayor ordered the device dropped and MOVE's weapons cache that they had stored on the roof of their rowhome headquarters caught fire and ignited the block. Lots of innocent people lost their homes in the incident, but MOVE were no more sympathetic victims than David Koresh and the Branch Davidians.
yeah the CHOP in seattle was fine and dandy for a whopping 23 days before they realized how much worse zero police presence was
and that was only a 6 block radius
