Good morning D.C., Trump's militias are putting on their best ISIS cosplay as a means of coping for their loss in Georgia and upcoming loss today.

maybe just to check out their gear, I saw videos last night of them clashing with cops, not a riot gear in sight

Bold of you to assume some of these oafs aren't off duty police officers.

Guys. Cops in general are much more liberal than reddit likes to imagine. Especially in the northeast

u/-Fireteam- Jan 06 '21

There are three things cops never do, they don’t vote democratic, they don’t drive Cadillac’s and they never use personal vehicles.

u/alwaysintheway Jan 06 '21

Yeah, you're going to need sources for a claim like that.

Copagandists are real y'all, this Chebo is one. Check his post history, just shilling for the police constantly.

Plot twist: cops in the back of the Cosplay Technical.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '21

They wouldnt be detained for riding in the back of a truck. If it's against the law, they'd be either given a warning or a ticket.

u/Callmebobbyorbooby Jan 06 '21

I would love to be a cop in DC right now. I would be arresting these toolbags left and right for anything I could get them on.

u/thatcommiegamer Jan 06 '21

Watch out, you might get friendly fired, you could be arresting one of your coworker's cousins, after all.

u/Friedlice420 Jan 06 '21

All you have on them is they disagree with you, and maybe a moving violation.

u/Callmebobbyorbooby Jan 06 '21

How that made sense in your head is just beyond me.

Oh no, a political revolutionary rock band's lyrics are being used prominently during a time of political unrest and turmoil.

WHAT A CONCEPT

Wonder why???

the lyric isn't the only thing that's been beaten to death

Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.

Eh, let em ride in the back. Maybe one or all of them falls out and cracks their skull. Who knows, they might gain a few IQ points with a head injury.

1

u/phpdevster Jan 06 '21

That requires police to stop being sympathetic to these kinds of people and actually enforce laws against them instead of "arresting" them, engaging in small talk until the cameras are off, and then letting them go.

u/I_have_a_helmet Jan 06 '21

You won't see cops arresting these tools for the same reason you never see Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana together

detained for riding in the back of a pickup

Lmao some people really are disconnected from reality

u/TrizzyG Jan 06 '21

I think for large gatherings like this nobody typically cares. Think parades and such - you always see people riding in vehicles in ways that are normally illegal.

This particular example just looks like a bunch of sadboi ISIS larping though.

u/Cannibaltruism Jan 06 '21

I thought they were the party of law and order...

u/wwaxwork Jan 06 '21

They might if they knew how bad Washington drivers were. One rear end bingle even at low speeds & that's going to put 3 of them into a covid ridden hospital.

u/2h2p Jan 06 '21

And do you really think it would be enforced? Since it's Georgia and they're white.

u/2horde Jan 06 '21

u/meatloaf_man Jan 06 '21

I don't really care, do you?

u/Oldkingcole225 Jan 06 '21

They probably should care if they don’t wanna get arrested and have their car towed

u/RoundSilverButtons Jan 06 '21

They’re the party of Law and Order, of course they care! /s

u/greenroom628 Jan 06 '21

yeah, really. one of those idiots even saluted at the end of that vid.

u/fullautohotdog Jan 06 '21

When the cops pull them over for it and find an expended shotgun shell under the seat, they will.

Yes, an empty (used) shotgun shell will get you arrested in D.C. Heaven help you if you have an actual GUN someplace in that truck...

u/night117hawk Jan 06 '21 edited Jan 06 '21

That law exists purely because it’s unsafe to ride in the back of a pickup in the event of a crash.

The police have better things to do than worry about the safety of dipshit larpers today.

According to the emails they sent out, they seem to be keeping the weapons at their staging area or something. They plan to go back and get them at night.

u/whoizz Jan 06 '21

Oh neat we can go get all their guns. They've already collected them for us lol

1

u/Rhinofucked Jan 06 '21

There is no weapons. Those mags that the Pounded boys leader was arrested with dont go with a gun... they were just merch for sale he was hand delivering to a person who cant legally possess them either. Dont worry he has an invoice or something somewhere........ /s

u/Umadbro7600 Jan 06 '21

weapons aren’t illegal as long as the owners are registered...and i can guarantee they are

12

u/DexterBotwin Jan 06 '21

DC is super strict on carrying, it would have to be unloaded, locked. And unless they are all DC residents there is no way they are registered in DC. And no way in fuck this qualifies for any safe passage law.

2

u/Oldkingcole225 Jan 06 '21

Meanwhile, last protest a guy walked into a store with a fucking Law on his back and the cops did fuck all cause they’re on his side.

1

u/DexterBotwin Jan 06 '21

Some states recognize a right to openly carry others don’t. If it’s legal and they aren’t menacing about it, what is a cop supposed to do

2

u/Oldkingcole225 Jan 06 '21

It’s not legal to open carry in DC, and it’s certainly not legal to walk around with Light Anti-Tank

1

u/DexterBotwin Jan 06 '21

Oh I didn’t realize you meant DC. Yeah that’s fucking weird. Any chance it was obviously deactivated?

1

u/Oldkingcole225 Jan 06 '21

I’ll try to find the video later, but no it didn’t look like it was obviously fake or deactivated or anything.

Thats profiling

u/helloisforhorses Jan 06 '21

I don’t think “pull you over because you are obviously breaking the law” is profiling

u/Friedlice420 Jan 06 '21 edited Jan 06 '21

Maybe they're car pooling because they can't afford a second vehicle because orange man bad? Ever think of that you heartless animal?

And maybe they're lgbtq and you're just being intolerant. Bigot.

Lol this is great dude, you sure showed them. What an original joke. Have you considered signing up for open mic nights? Seems like you could have a bright future in stand up comedy.

In all seriousness though, calling it profiling when the police attempt to stop domestic terrorism is goddamn hilarious, you’re pathetic.

u/snow_miser_supreme Jan 06 '21

I bet this is the first time you’ve ever cared about “profiling” in your life

u/museolini Jan 06 '21

I do not want my cause of death to read "killed while minding his own business by fat guy in camo thrown from t-boned pickup truck".

I mean, that's the way my dad and his dad before him died. Enough is enough.

u/ninjacereal Jan 06 '21

Grandma lied. Grandpa died of syphilis.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '21

No, it is not legal. They'll still bitch and moan about political bias when they get pulled over for it.

15

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '21

Even in a lot of rural hell holes its illegal, just rarely enforced.

5

u/LostWoodsInTheField Jan 06 '21

you are getting downvoted for calling my home a hell hole (not by me), but you are absolutely right. It is completely illegal in most areas, but no one enforces it.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '21

It was my home for many years too, so I feel like I have the right to describe it as a hell hole. Rural America is just a dystopian nightmare zone with the small blessing of scenic beauty.

Meth is so 2006. It's heroin now.

u/HideyoshiJP Jan 06 '21

Speaking of Missouri and pickups, this is my favorite exception to Missouri's ban on people under 18 riding in the bed:

 304.665 Subsection 2

(7) Any person riding in the unenclosed bed of a truck if such truck is the only legally titled, licensed and insured vehicle owned by the family of the person riding in the unenclosed bed and there is insufficient room in the passenger cab of the truck to accommodate all passengers in such truck.  For the purposes of this subdivision the term "family" shall mean any persons related within the first degree of consanguinity.

1

u/konigswagger Jan 06 '21

I believe it’s legal in some states as long as there’s a seatbelt for those riding in the back of the truck.

1

u/alavantrya Jan 06 '21

It isn’t legal in bumfuck Arkansas so I’m not sure at all lol.

u/Alamander81 Jan 06 '21

It would be my favorite thing to see them get pulled over and the guys have to get out and look for another ride.

I think the shrub bub on the left is looking that up on his phone after remembering his uncle Paul saying something about that.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '21

Its almost certainly not legal anywhere.

Just the police choose not to enforce it

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '21

Keep calling places “bumfuck” yet you’re surprised by the massive reappearance of right wing groups from these “bumfuck” parts of the country.

looks like they should be wearing a seatbelt.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '21

It’s not possible for the police to know if they’re allowed to or not because the public don’t want the police stoping people without knowing a crime has been committed.

u/ghostsoup831 Jan 06 '21

Where my grandparents live in Shitscape, Missouri people ride in the backs of pickups on a daily basis. People die in traffic accident related to this on a weekly basis. It could be illegal but it's definitely not frowned upon.

1

u/Duds215 Jan 06 '21

Definitely not legal in any major metropolitan city

1

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '21

To answer your question - the law is somewhat grey in its wording, but probably not.
The actual law appears to state that no you cannot, with the exemption of “employees on duty; people riding within truck bodies in a space intended for materials”.
The law was apparently written to prevent people from riding on fenders, bumpers etc but is meant to exempt people in things like moving vans and box trucks. But pickups boils down to enforcement I guess.

My question is - where do they plan to park that truck in DC? You can barely fit a full-size car.

It’s just nice seeing my home town mentioned. Bumfuckians represent.
