The US regime's effort to avoid any culpability for killing American citizens is very concerning.

#62More broadly, across various instances, the administration and feds have been coming out strongly against basic freedom of speech which is a core constitutional pillar that defines America. It is highly unAmerican.
Meanwhile, the crook in charge keeps doing everything he can to keep his cronies rich, at the expense of the planet's climate. Those who voted for him continue to remain utterly uninformed of the tornadoes and floods they sow.

#63This kind of intimidation sucks and I'd like to see individual officers who indulge in it lose their qualified immunity and be prosecuted for it. But I'm at least grateful to live under a regime that needs to break its own laws to do this, and so such charges can be dismissed by courts that follow the law, even if they don't apply consequences to the offending officials. Compare that to the UK where more than 12k peo…
in what world do you think they would actually be prosecuted?

Which of the 12K arrests do you not agree with? Or are you saying people should be free to write whatever they want on social media with no repercussions?
Saying what you want about the government without fear of reprecussion or intimidation or consequence from the government is literally in the constitution. Very specifically for this situation. This isn't a "freespeach" argument, this is the actual text of the actual constitution. This is the actual literal reason that line is included in the bill of rights. It is explicit constitutional law that the government canno…
Most of those aren't about the government, those are people using social media to threaten their ex and so on.

The 12k number is an estimate, and only 1k were convicted. And the law they're being charged with breaking covers things like threats to assault someone, false bomb threats, harassment of ex-partners, threats sent to MPs, serious domestic abuse-related crimes, etc. There's no breakdown of what each charge was for.
If you make a bomb threat or threaten to kill someone else over social media, you really should get arrested and prosecuted because that isn't an exercise of "first amendment rights".

#66The content of the post deemed by ICE to warrant ~~federal prosecution~~ crime-boss-style intimidation: > BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Johnathan to be indicted! If anyone is wondering, it would still be a good day : )

What does “dox” mean in your eyes? Releasing public information?

Whose gonna call the cops on the cops?
Different cops. We had sheriff’s deputies out for some other issue, my impression was they took the law pretty seriously. They may not arrest them on the spot, but I think they would get ID and tell them to leave, and later file a report.
Unfortunately due to chain of command, your good sheriffs deputies will be prevented from carrying out justice.

I thought detainment was a lighter kind of arrest. Seems that I’m wrong and they are distinct concepts (I’m not too familiar with the English terminology here, my bad)
When someone is detained, they're just a person of interest wanted for questioning. When they're arrested, it's because they've actually been charged for something.
In the U.S. you can be “detained” for days or weeks for having brown skin.
It’s called a Kavanaugh Stop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kavanaugh_stop

> Rene good deserved her concequences 100% though what a piece of shit person. Serious question - wtf is wrong with you?
They have decided that hate of the other is more important than love of their nation. That sort of degenerate value system demands that they not only throw away their decency, but do so loudly and publicly to virtue signal their loyalty to the regime and willingness to disregard the truth that is in front of our eyes.

How so? If some ICE agents show up the sheriff and state police can certainly deal with them.
