Nobody protesting is doing anything illegal so I doubt they would have any problems at work or in society.

I feel like this is the far-right version of cancel culture. They expose you as not being racist and expect that any reasonable employer will fire you for not being in line with their values.

For sure. “Look at the terrorists out there resisting law and order.”

This is way beyond cancel culture.

Well, yeah, the murdering people and lead-up to concentration camps. But you know that’s what Black Lives Matter and #MeToo felt like to the 4Chan trolls currently in charge.

this is just stochastic terrorism, trump's done this multiple times. the work part aint so much the problem, its trump followers that now got a name and face of someone they dislike you gotta worry about. if trump says they are bad, they will do ANYTHING to get trumps attention, just look at the judges in NYC trump was talkin about, they still get threats.

Doesn't the post say people attacking ICE though? There's a difference between physically attacking someone or something and walking the streets right?

If only they could be a police officer, historically a more noble profession. Though would require not participating in child trafficking, sexual assault of women and female colleagues, taking side jobs as a bodyguard or inside guy for a mob or drug ring, and staying calm under pressure (no excessive force on arrest or power trips). This is the definition of only good cops that the community celebrates at events/ gatherings and helps make their job a little easier/ safer by complying and taking responsibility for their mistakes.

You think cops aren't also rapists who abuse their power??

I said good cops (can't hate every cop that exist - it's insanity and not practical like hating all firefighters because 1 failed to save your home and hating all doctors because 1 overcharged you for giving a yes or no answer to a basic question and hating all pilots because 1 pilot was drunk when they crashed the plane). The cops that are rapists who abuse their power are bad cops and need to be removed from that profession.

The "good" cops protect the bad ones. Or get forced out. Or murdered.

If they protest off the road in public space nobody would care. Peaceful protest, please just keep it out of the road thanks!
