  1. The Trump Gestapo is going to keep doing this type of thing until local law enforcement starts arresting and charging them for blatantly violating the law.

    There’s fast food employees with more training than ICE agents and those fast food employees don’t carry guns

    The problem here isn’t so much that the drew guns at an off duty officer. It is that for some reason we are supposed to think that is more significant than them pulling guns on anyone

    If Ice starts shooting police, I don’t think neither the police or mayors will tolerate it.

    That and just probably hasten a civil war.

    So ICE agents pulled guns on an off-duty cop — and no one’s being held accountable? This isn’t just a bad call; it’s a pattern. When does “law enforcement” stop meaning “above the law”?

  6. If the ICE thugs hadn’t found out that this person was an off-duty cop, they very likely would have been made into another murder victim by ICE thugs. It should be obvious that ICE thugs only draw their weapon when they are fishing for an excuse to murder someone. They were probably hoping to pick off this seemingly isolated nonwhite woman and murder her. The ICE thugs even knocked her camera phone out of her hand when she tried to record them. It’s clear they were intending to try to fish for an opportunity to murder her and minimize the evidence that would implicate the ICE thugs are not acting in defense.

    Even Kristi Noam lied about the incident and then claimed they had no record of doing this – this shows that the ICE thugs were intentionally trying to keep all record of doing this unrecorded in the event that it might implicate them. This is where we’re at – the fed thugs are just fishing for pretext to murder random people and do it with the government looking the other way.

    > In a statement to USA TODAY, the Department of Homeland Security said: “DHS is able to find no record of ICE or Border Patrol stopping and questioning a police officer. Without a name, we cannot verify these claims. We will continue to look into these claims.”

    So is DHS saying that there are criminals impersonating ICE agents and kidnapping people and so everyone should be prepared to defend themselves with lethal force?

  8. I think they will eventually do something so heinous that they will feel forced to go underground, and Trump and his pack of flying monkeys will change their modus operandi, then they’ll become their top secret hit squads.

    Let me know when massive amounts of people, citizens or not, start going missing.

  9. Where are all the Gadsen Flag carrying, “my Second Amendment protects your First Amendment”, States Rights motherfuckers in all of this?

    When are all the Blue Lives Matter, Thin Blue Line Flag waving, Punisher bros going to come out of the woodwork and go toe to toe with these bottom dwelling, minimal I.Q. bully thugs?

    Why has this responsibility fallen onto the Left? Why are soccer moms displaying more bravado than those tough guys who continually claim they won’t stand for the Federal government pushing them around?

    Oh – that’s right – those wannabe tough guys are actually *for* this happening in their “God Blessed, most free country known to man” America for which they consistently and vehemently claim they would gladly give their lives in the face of even the most remote hint of tyranny.

    Nothing but a bunch of Facebook warrior poseurs, the whole lot of them.

    The Republican party and EVERY one of its followers has become the party of fascist bootlicking enablers who would rather see this country crumble than to ever admit for even a split second, “Maybe the Libs were right. Maybe this guy really is a danger to our Democracy.”

    We’re fucked.

  10. > In one encounter, a Brooklyn Park police officer was boxed in by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who “demanded her paperwork,” Bruley said.
    >**Agents “had their guns drawn,”** he said, adding that one agent **knocked the police officer’s phone out of her hand** when she tried to record the interaction.

    This sounds like assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery (of a police officer). Where are the indictments of these thugs???

  11. They say the ICE agents are attempting to provoke a violent response to invoke the Insurrection Act… would that apply if they were exchanging fire with other police?

  12. Current-Attempt-5139 on

    I understand cops not protecting us from ICE, but damn at least protect yourselves. It’s just embarrassing…

  13. Oh no, were police finally muzzled and brandished against like every regular citizen has been EVERY DAY WITH CLEAR EVIDENCE? I guess NOW they goddamn care?

  14. Good. Hopefully they do worse to off-duty cops because that’ll probably be the only way they do something about them.

  15. Fragrant-Ambition853 on

    Yup- if and when they deploy our troops to the streets, these ICE thugs will invariably round up off duty soldiers in their civilian attire.

  16. Cops are just  another group of self hating morons. They’ll preach backing the blue until one of their own is confronted by a higher authority, then that officer is going right under the bus with everybody else. The upper ranks will complain, but the rank and file will just talk about how the victim was never really one of them.
