    There you go again, making outrageous claims without providing proof.

    Stop pretending you're a libertarian, or believe in constitutional rights. You're not fooling anyone here. You want a police state that puts "property values" above people.

    If deterrence works then a riot every time that the US Police abuse their powers seems like a fantastic idea. You know, as a deterrence against the Police abusing their powers.

    Just the other night, cops were caught on video beating a peaceful middle-aged protester with a club and spraying some sort of chemical irritant right into his face. They beat him so hard that he got multiple fractures in his hand that will surgery. There are hundreds of videos of cops violently assaulting protesters in similar or even more disgusting ways, and violating their civil rights on a massive scale. Arrest every last one of those cops, charge them, prosecute them, get them fired and—where appropriate—tossed into prison. The protests will melt away. Continue to enable police misconduct, and you'll only encourage more misconduct—with more protests as a result. I understand this may be difficult to understand for a dull-witted bootlicking pussy such as yourself, but the police must be held to account.

    Have some concerns sharing this since it shows injuried jounalists, women, and black men. Lewk's trifecta of pleasure.



    All at the hands of police. This is just 3 of the 18+ who lost an eye in just one city.

    Trump now has federal agents tear gassing and roughing up moms.

    because of graffiti

    Out of curiosity, are some pictures of graffiti still the worst example of these heinous crimes they are giving?

    Since you didn't answer my previous question:

    Are you, someone who claims to be against government overreach in general, and the federal government in particular, comfortable with federal agents arresting people, not identify what agency they are with, not state what charges they are arrested for, pushing people to waive their civil rights, and then release them?

    Because if these were criminals, surely they'd be at least able to give a reason for arrests, and to press charges.

    Also, given they don't identify themselves and from what agency they are from, nor for what charges they are arresting you.. how do you even know they are cops? Would you say you're in your rights to shoot them in self defense from kidnapping?

    There is actually a bit of history for an act like that. Beating up or firing on a naked person is instant bad PR cause the blood and bruises aren't and cant be hidden. In this last incident, the police actually left the area

    I'd like to see Lewk answer those questions, too.

    Cops don't even know when they're breaking the law by violating someone's constitutionally protected rights—a thread:

    Should be grounds for dismissal (on the basis of illegal conduct or plain incompetence) and damages.

    I am honestly not following the news in the US very much these days, but what I do pick up on makes me feel like the country is entirely on a slippery slope to dictatorship.
    Congratulations America

    Don't be so hysterical, the power of American institutions are protecting the republic. Trump is basically a generic Republican president.

    Not identifying the agency they are with in the moment doesn't matter. What matters is if the arrest has probable cause and if the person was released afterward or booked. Note: At time of arrest it is not required to read Miranda rights, this is a bit of a myth. Also the idea that they don't know they are cops (DHS/Marshals) is a bit absurd.

    Absolutely absurd. We are playing catch and release in Portland. People are literally attacking officers and are returned to the streets in less than 24 hours. If you think this is a dictatorship you don't actually know what a dictatorship is.

    If they don't even say which agency they are from, don't show identification, and don't say why they are addressing you, how does one know they are cops and not kidnappers? How is that absurd?

    They had no probable cause. You shouldn't hang out on subreddits for halfwits who fetishize cops.

    The problem Lewkowksi has that he doesn't understand is he thinks that "fear" works. It doesn't. Federal agents in Portland are stoking violence with their antics and instead of calming the situation down as a cowered populace slink with their tail between their legs back home, it is aggravating the situation and making the situation work as more toxic and violent.

    Because people know that when someone is bullying you the response is not to be afraid, it is to stand up to the bully. And once you are no longer afraid of a bully, what can they do?

    Between the two of us I think that I know a whole lot better how a dictatorship works than you. Even if you try to downplay what is going on; if the state is willing to use its full force against you using your civil rights that is intimidating.

    When I am in a certain place, there are names, words, subjects I steer clear of in conversations with people I don't know well enough to trust them. Kinda like it was behind the iron curtain. That started with the police chasing some 'treehuggers'. On the orders of another of the man friends of the criminal in the White House.
    Congratulations America

    Innocent until proven guilty. Its a clear staple of the american way your dumbass claims to hold so dear.
    The feds have even admitted that the people they are kidnapping off the street are innocent of any crime.

    They are both defensive items. The sort of thing you might carry if you're worried you might be attacked, not if you're planning on attacking others. If you're planning on attacking others you'd be carrying arms - as per the Second Amendment.

    I wonder where protestors may have gotten the idea they may get attacked from?
