I think President Trump has done a fantastic job securing the border, but I think there are serious problems with the way ICE operations are being carried out. As far as I know, there is no law against being a moron. Peaceful protests, even when I disagree with the protesters, do not deserve violent responses. The "interference" I have seen does not deserve a lethal response.
Again, I blame both the agents and the protestors, but it's pretty damn heartless to just kill somebody like that and I really wonder if some of these agents harbor a deep desire to kill someone. They definitely don't have the discipline that the military and the police do and why the hell would someone even want to mess with those guys?
I don't know if I'd call the interference completely "peaceful". It doesn't warrant a lethal response but if you're going to protest don't physically interject yourself because you're dealing with people who don't know you and don't know what your intentions are.
What you wrote about ICE not having the discipline of the police of military is something I have heard elsewhere. I think it's fair to question why they are interacting with the public if they don't have adequate/proper training. I'm all for securing the border and getting rid of criminals, but I think killing American citizens is going to lead to people turning against the whole enterprise. Especially when administration officials start calling the deceased people things like domestic terrorists.
Totally agree. I do think [people need to take a few steps back and look at this from a different angle.
If someone is trespassing - they are breaking the law - enforcing the law is LITERALLY these people's jobs.
The protesters are clearly paid and organized. This is not grass roots - at all. This is being funded.
Who would fund protesting people doing their jobs? Where were the protests when Obama was doing the EXACT same thing?
The guy that got shot had been arrested for attacking ICE agents previously.
Why are people being paid to protest/interfere/agitate people simply doing thier job - and making it SO much harder. If a group of people came over the border and decided to live in your friont yard, what would you do? Say "yeah, no problem." Of course you wouldn't you would call the cops and say people are tresspassing on your property. That is LITERALLY what this is.
If you are gonna agitate people doing and already dangerous job - there are going to be consequences - period. The root cause of this, if you are using any common sense - is this is a distraction from the MASSIVE FRAUD happenign in Minnesota - and the Dems do not want that conversation happeninng because now the public is slowly realizing just how massively they are getting ripped off - to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars - just in Minnesota. Can you imagine the cost here in Cal? How about Washington? All you money meant to provide services for the tax payer - is being grifted - in well oiled machine - and the result is they have to raise your taxes to pay for the stuff you already paid for.
If you do not acknowlege and understand this - you are missing it all. This is all meant to cover the professional grifting - by paying people to agitate - knowing eventually the law of averages will bear out and someone will die - causing the desired effect of distraction.
Who is paying these people? No, these people aren't terrorists, these people are being paid to literally be used as cannon fodder by professional grifters. This is literally the Mafia. Politicians and the 'media" keeping the general masses distracted with the 'someone got shot" while they peel a few more bills from your wallet. Sucks these people died - but what other result could there be when this was the desired result they were going for?
Tim Walz allegedly was aware of all of this - and complicit - and this is who the dems wanted to be your VP. Well, they certainly don't want Americans asking those kinds of questions. A woman who was gifted the nomination with no primary wins, and a dude in the center of a massive fraud ring - that's who the dems forces on you. Jesus Christ, Explain that. Now consider what would be happening with them in office. JFC.
And let's not forget the root cause of ALL of this - the Dems opening the border and letting MILLIONS in - illegally. All this blood is on THEIR hands. If they had not done that - and with no rational explanation to the American taxpayer - we wouldn't be in this situation - period. A little fact the usual morons refuse to acknowledge.
But yeah, stay distracted, stay stupid.
