National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)

[The Quartermaster]

The security company should probably terminate their contract.

Although the only reason ICE is probably going to McDs is for the value meal.

Worried about loss of revenue and an employee base.

Another shooting, 2 folks… in Portland.

I was wrong earlier. We are DEFINITELY cooked, chat.

I disconnect from the internet/news for a few days and came back to it like...

I hope if I am showing ignorance on procedures or how it works, you can forgive me, but I was wondering: given this ICE agent was run over just a short while back, was it wise to put him around vehicles again?

Do you know how many first responders of all types are nearly hit and/or hit on the daily?

Now take them all off the street when something bad happens.

How many ya gonna have after a solid work week?

Best way to get over trauma is to confront the trauma.

What's next - taking Soldiers off the battlefield after they get shot at...

On a much lighter note, nobody gonna mention this?


or this...


(this one's a bit more difficult to see, but it's a shark)

Clearly, no HOA here.

"Drive, Baby! Drive! Drive!"

Tragic last advice.

Mayor Mom Jeans needs to take a long sip from a stiff glass of STFU...just quit talking.

This is...well said and very spot on:

This chick who tried to run over a federal law enforcement officer is already more of a martyr than Charlie Kirk...how is the left and Democrats able to do this for vile things and the right can't for someone who was at least half-decent?

Ma'am, correction, there is no "former" to being a veteran. You either are or you aren't. Well I guess, in my view if you had a sex change you are no longer entitled to the status of your "dead name".

Always respect and enjoy a rational, calm rebuttal (note: maybe this is more appropriate for the Trump 2.0 thread given that it deals with policy)

The real question we should all be asking... will this video matter?

It proves that the people who said "she didn't even hit him" were lying. It proves that she was making deliberate decisions, not panicking, and (actually pretty damning) is that she was antagonizing and engaging with an LEO who was giving her lawful orders. Her girlfriend (they aren't married, they just call each other 'wives') was antagonizing and filming for clout.

I am desperately trying to just hold on here and see what new videos drop, but my assumptions from my earlier post were at least close.

But... will it matter to people who already have a narrative they want to espouse (both "sides")? I don't think it will.

Will it matter? No. All the videos are a Rorschach test, people will see what they want to see. I think the only venue in which this might matter will be court, if it makes it that far.
