They’re really targeting California as a whole now. The state that supported the union so much over history. Republicans must really feel jealous that it is the richest state.

Senator Alex Padilla (D-Ca), interrupted and arrested while asking questions of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem related to ICE. She's the former South Dakota governor who spent $5 million of her state's COVID money on a tourism campaign. You might remember the dept of Homeland Security was created (along with the term "homeland") by George "Dubya" Bush after 9/11, as "not a whole new agency" but a reorganization of parts of existing agencies, to coordinate their work (to protect Freedom™). Their budget this year is $107 billion. Sound like a whole lotta coordinatin' goin' on.
Apart from the obvious "arresting a senator for asking questions" thing, is whatever's happening on this picture standard procedure for arresting an unarmed, unthreatening person in the US? It looks like they're arresting a terrorist or a dangerous suspect
No normally. I think they throw a knee on the neck for 9 to 10 minutes.
Thought about it. Still wanna grab em by the throat stab them.
Or whatever that Eminem song said
Oh man, that was guilty conscience and I think technically it was a dre song.
Have you thought about the blue lives?!
I have. In their current state, they are at the bottom of the list of lives that I care about, with every other living organism on the planet above them. If they work to remove the corrupt, fascist, and clearly unregulated members and leadership from their ranks, then I will reevaluate, until then they can stay there.
Authorities are claiming they were unable to know who he was at the time, and treated him as a potential threat.
You are going to get to hear that kind of verbiage a lot over the next few years
They were only following orders
Fucking hate cop talk. The language they use in their reports is disgusting. They probably have a template that they just slightly modify. Template is already full of lies.
He stood up and announced he was a US Senator. The very first thing he did was identify himself. If they're deaf then they shouldn't be on active duty outside a desk job.
I'd like to hear (from the Authorities) what identified him particularly as a threat amongst all the other people in the room.
Yeah, cops are racist as fuck. But they will gladly beat up anyone. Threaten too. I remember when I was a lot younger talking to a cop (i did't know better at the time.) and suddenly he starts resting his hand on his holster and looking at me weird.
he starts resting his hand on his holster and looking at me weird.
FYI, in many states that action is very explicitly defined as Assault.
Yeah, but if I pulled my gun out and blasted his pig ass I am not going to get off on self defense.
Prosecutors would definitely take that to trial, for sure. But it also depends on your jury. Being acquitted is definitely more likely as the days go by now. A lot of people no longer give law enforcement any sort of benefit of the doubt, often the exact opposite now.
You just need 1 member of that jury to decide that way and refuse to change their position to hang the jury, and then the prosecutors have to decide whether to bother with a retrial and do it all over again. Any time the first jury is unable to decide, that weighs heavily over any subsequent trial, whether it's supposed to or not.
What state? Nothing shows up in a quick search. That could be considered 'brandishing' in my state which is a crime but certainly not assault.
The standard procedure involves metal hitting the back of the skull until enough blood comes out that the victim can’t remember what happened.
When 99% of the police is weaker fatter and more out of shape than the "criminal" this is how they have to do it or everyone would just escape. Handcuff fat ass has the arm rotation of a dollar store action figure and is already out of breath from having to bend down. You can see it in the video.
So an unelected figurehead of the federal government has come to my state, had a senator I voted for arrested over asking a question which is his civic duty to ask, and has now made threats at removal of my elected govenor as well as an elected mayor of one of the cities here.
At which point would these actions be considered tyrannical enough to provide a decent argument for a use of the 2nd amendment in court?
That's a bridge that we're just going to have to cross once they completely take over. We need them to have as much power as possible before we make a move. Also for the love of God don't read, don't protest, don't act. Just wait.
The 2nd amendment just says the government can't take away your guns. It doesn't say anything about it being okay for you to use them against the government.
I mean, hell, police kill people all the time, but the courts treat having a gun on your person as a reason the cops had to shoot you. So they can't take away the gun, but they can take away your life for having it.
Basically you can use it as a security blanket to rock yourself to sleep at night, but get anywhere near the gestapo with it and you die a "terrorist."
Never, if we accept the intent of the 2nd amendment is to stop a tyrannical us government it does so be making sure you have the means for a rebellion (or the states actually). In that case you would not be judged for your actions like a criminal.
It of course does not apply to individuals taking action on their own (and they alone would not be able to bring down a regime). The best you could hope is a pardon/amnesty by a new pro democracy president/authority, if you are still alive.
do me a favor and read what you wrote again. I think you're trying to say something but it's impossible to tell.
The issue is on your end, my message is clear.
haha you're going to double down? like, I'm really trying to get through that first sentence and it's total gore. at the very least there's some missing punctuation but even when I try to put pauses in places where there should be commas it's just a pile of lost plot. I've tried like 10 times and I don't know why.
There's some missing punctuation (and typos), in a social media post, written on a mobile phone, the horror! I 've switched to a PC with a proper, physical keyboard.
I am confused by your mention of pauses, are you reading it aloud and trying to split it when you need to breath? You should be identifying verbs, their subjects and their objects.
But I doubt either you, or the other downvoters do not actually understand my post. It's far more likely you do, but it offends you.
It's ironic that pro-democracy Americans can't handle criticism of America's mythology. Even more so, if you understand that using your, 2nd amendment protected, guns to stop tyranny is simply right wing propaganda to conceal their power fantasy of killing people they don't like, with their 2nd amendment provided guns.
So when they turn to the camera guy at the end they repeatedly keep saying you're not allowed to record due to FBI rights. That is something I've never heard before.
Unless they are trying to refer to something from the Patriot act the FBI has the same rights as everyone else.
Who did they handcuff?
E. Alex Padilla
A US Senator. For wanting to ask a question.
Not joking.
What did he want to ask
She said this just before:
“We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city.”
So it was probably related to that.
Don't worry, they are setting precedent so that when the hat is on the other side they can cry about it happening to them. I've never understood how the federal government has let the individual states do everything so willy nilly?! It is absurd. It should set the base that everyone reaches or exceeds. That's what a federal government does?!
This is having that effect where it spreads awareness by trying to suppress it. Had no idea who that was, but now I do. And now I know to support them
Here is an article on this situation:
The dumb woman talking said “liberate the city from socialists”. Doesn’t it bother Americans that a person in her position, is so fucking dumb she doesn’t even know what socialism is?
It reminds me of Putin saying they’ll save Ukraine from nazis.
I learned on he xbear that Ukraine is the most fascist place in the world and the leader of the country, who is Jewish, glorifies Nazis. It was very educational, but not in the way they intended.
Why would they be bothered? They don't know either. She might as well said "liverate the city from wokeness" qnd they would shake their fat fistis in agreement
It reminds me of Putin saying they’ll save Ukraine from nazis.
that's because it's written in the same ink.
The same people that made us share toys and the playground now tell us that sharing things is evil and wrong.
The same people that said love your neighbors now vote to have our neighbors arrested and deported.
The same people that said feed the hungry vote to remove school lunches.
The same people that screamed about 2A "shall not be infringed" and insisting their full auto arsenal was to stand up to a tyrannical govt. Now won't say a word when every other amendment has been completely removed and the govt is tyrannical in every way.
Ironic.
For those like me who didn’t know what exactly this was about, here’s a video of the incident:
Every one of those officers needs to face serious consequences. If they can’t go after trump, go after all these toadies who are willing to play stormtrooper
What, the land of the free?
At least these cops don't have masks.
