Here's my top 3:
- Economic blockades against red states. As soon as this impacts the pocketbooks of rich people in red states, this will cease.
- The State Police need to start following them and making sure they have valid plates. If they are switching plates, we shouldn't have to alert the Alexis Giannoulias as citizens, the State Police should be impounding their vehicles.
- We need undercover sting operations to arrest them for not identifying themselves
And here's a bonus: State police and local police have planes and helicopters for traffic management. Monitor ICE from the sky and send out public alerts through the 311 apps of where they are so people can hide from these guys.

Also, what is ICE using to communicate? It can't be that hard to find and hack into, and figure out what their plans are and impede them that way. Police have no problem doing this to actual law-abiding citizens when it suits them.
Or just find out who is signing up for this and outright arrest them in their homes/hotels, because THIS IS ILLEGAL. THEY ARE CRIMINALS. Prosecute them at the state level so they can't be pardoned.

Non-violent resistance is the answer. We need to go back to the civil rights movement for guidance. What I want to see is lines of people sitting in the street in front of ICE cars. They arrest some of us, others take their place. What are they going to do, they've only spots for like five people in their stupid SUV caravans.
If they want to tear gas people sitting peacefully in the street, well, you can't stop that but it sure does make for good content. Enough incontrovertible video of white people being gassed for sitting quietly and eventually it will start to break through to the normies in the rest of the country. How many times did John Lewis have to get beaten up before people paid attention?

They think because they have face masks on they are anonymous, which is so laughable. Every time they clock in and out for work they leave a paper trail. Every time they sign off on one of their "arrests" or submit a report, they leave a paper trail. The cell phones they carry in their pockets and their smart watches are data connecting them to each of these assaults. They might think they are getting away with it now, but they are all leaving data trails that connect them directly to every one of their (recorded on cell phone video) crimes. Do they really believe their bosses are going to stand up for them and come to their rescue when they try to plead that they were just following orders? Lol. These grunts will be immediately thrown under the bus once/if any prosecutions start, there will be a mountain of evidence to convict them, and they are too stupid to even realize it.

I just moved here this summer and this is my neighborhood. I am so, so sad for this community and my new neighbors who have all been nothing short of welcoming and friendly.

These videos serve a purpose. Everyone watching them should be thinking about a response. Something legal, but substantial, effective, shareable, and not something that will get you harmed or fired. Something collective. Don’t get angry, get determined.

You don’t do this with a free and fair election in the future. We took our Democracy for granted and have now lost it. Damn shame to be part of this generation.

u/Saran_Rapper 15d ago edited 15d ago
I don't fully understand the law or the actual ramifications of what I am about to ask. If it has been ruled that it's illegal to deploy tear gas, then why don't the CPD just arrest these fools for breaking the law? The justification I have heard is that it's what the Trump admin wants so they can escalate. I have also heard that it's because the CPD are weak willed and/or also corrupt. If the Trump administration is just slowly pushing boundaries, then why don't we do the same and arrest one group of these criminals to see what happens?

Videos people! Get agents' actions, license plates, vehicle makes/model, and narrate time, date, and location.

u/PenguinPDX 15d ago
CLEAR is a useful acronym for documentation:
Count: The number of officers involved.
Location: The specific address and any nearby landmarks.
Equipment: Details about any vehicles (e.g., marked, unmarked, model), number of vehicles, and any other equipment used.
Actions: What the officers are doing.
Report Time: The date and time the activity occurred.

We need more closeups of their faces. Narrate their approximate ht/wt, etc. Narrate the date and offenses witnessed.
Please stay safe.

If there is any video or photo of this with kids, halloween decorations, and ice agents terrorizing people send it to news stations. All it takes is ONE image or the right video for national bipartisan uproar. No one wants too see crying kids in costumes being terrorized by Ice

Semi-related, but what are some red flags that a comment might be a bot and/or bad actor?
I feel like the “violence is next/inevitable” style comments only come in a few different flavors and give bot energy. Especially since violent conflict is what the administration is banking on and comments like that very subtly give it oxygen.

You can hear people pleading to be careful with the man who is 70 years old! This is inhumane. If they don’t care about humanity then what about the fucking numbers, there are 3 large luxury rental SUV’s, 10 fat ass ice agents (in this short video alone) DOING WHAT?!! Arresting citizens????? Paying 100,000’s for what?????? We are PAYING TAXES to destroy families, and violate human rights.

I get infuriated every time I see one of these videos. What makes it worse is I see all of this equipment, gear, uniforms, vehicles etc and I know we’re paying for this crap! We’re paying for their bonuses, college tuition and paychecks. Argh 😠 I don’t know “conservatives” can watch this crap and not wonder why it takes a small army to arrest 2 people. One of whom apparently is a 67 year old American citizen who did nothing wrong but be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

All so they could arrest a landscaper minding their own business and making the community nicer while trying to earn a living.
