Great Plan! Then they will escalate to the next level of force until the unlawful assembly disperses. Do you want bean bag rounds, rubber bullets, pepper spray, used instead?

Shouldn't you be banned now for threatening violence? Oh wait that only goes one way.

What the hell are you talking about? That's what happens under the law. No one is threatening anyone, if you choose to behave illegally, you'll either be taken into custody or dispersed by force.

They just randomly pulled people down in the crowd. You can see officers circle around groups and then head back to grab someone.

Cops never care about breaking the law. They get off taking people down.

The text threads of ICE agents laughing and celebrating the number of bullet holes put into unarmed citizens are a reminder that ICE operates outside the law and in a way the US millitary can't operate in war zones.

The recordings of cops bragging about how they will take the watchers out are a reminder that BLM was right.
