Additional reporting from Bring Me The News. They have removed the following text from their coverage:
Federal agents briefly detained our reporter at the scene, who says he was tackled to the ground and had a gun put in his face.
You’re confusing a psychological issue with a sociological one…
Half of all ICE agents could be killed in the streets tomorrow and it wouldn’t change the governments view, stance, policy, action, anything…
But the cowards out there doing it?
They’re willing to do it because no one will hold them accountable. If they think there’s an actual chance someone holds them accountable in the moment, they’re just gonna leave.
When they feel that way everywhere, they still won’t escalate to shooting first, because then they know others will shoot back.
They can’t shoot 10 people at once. And they’re not willing to die for this shit, just willing to kill for it. So it doesn’t matter how much we die, just how likely they think their own death could be worst case scenario in the moment.
Zero actual violence required, and it results in a net decrease in violence…
I swear motherfuckers never heard:
You assume they’re all cowards, which is false.
All armed protesting will accomplish you now is ensuring your house is one of the first a government death squad visits.
The government death squads are coming regardless. People are dying in ICE custody.
