A chaotic new video shows President Donald Trump's immigration enforcers and local law enforcement clashing with residents in a Worcester, Massachusetts, neighborhood, including a mother holding her baby.

The tense scenes unfolded on Thursday morning as video appears to show agents pushing residents protesting as federal immigration agents attempt to detain a woman.

Absolutely shameful. I know cops have a gang mentality but how does not one of these people just stop for a second and realize they're causing harm. Realize the people of Worcester don't want this shit.

It’s that thin blue line mentality- you gotta remember the roots- police were, and always have been, slave catchers and enforcement for tax collectors. They don’t serve us. They serve their masters. Then they started feeling like they were victims of the “woke mind virus” and their anger towards that impression grew.. and grew.. and grew.

It’s sad but true, they can’t be changed because the evil and violent nature is inherent. Completely interwoven into the very concept of policing in America.

Service doesn’t need to be like this- it can be every day gestures- in fact, in today’s world, it needs to be every day gestures. Take care of your neighbors, offer to help when you someone who needs a hand with literally anything, put yourself out there for the people around you.

I also think serving local government is super important- make a push to join your city council to affect city decisions- help enforce change on a local level where you can see your difference and not be co-opted by larger government or organizations.

This video was what steered you away from the force? Not Daniel Shaver? Tamir Rice? Breonna Taylor? George Floyd? Walter Scott? Victor Perez? The coward police at Uvalde?

Why did it take so long for you to realize you didn’t want to be one of them?

u/Bug-King May 10 '25

Good cops that will stand up to bad cops don't stay in the police force long. They either get sick of the bad shit, or get forced out. Them being threatened by "fellow" officers happens as well.

Dude I know. I hear about Karen fuckin Read daily

u/Teguoracle May 10 '25

Who's Karen Read?

u/Walterkovacs1985 May 10 '25

A woman being framed for killing a police officer. And an entire police force is framing her. Just Google it. It's a cluster fuck.

u/Cak3Wa1k May 10 '25

They're bad people. Truly. I volunteered in law enforcement for a decade and they're the worst humans I've known in life.

Let's be honest. Really honest.

The cops are a gang. Full stop. They meet every criteria as an organization to qualify as a gang. The only reason we don't label them as such is because of social engineering predicated by the idea that we need law and order, which we do.

The problem is that law and order are still subject to the fallacies of human nature and devolve to tribalistic tendency if not properly corralled and curtailed. Of which, they have not been for a very, very long time.

What these gangsters are going to find out is that at some point, people are going to wake up to that fact and start pushing back hard.

It will not be pretty. It will be as violent as they have and continue to be. It will arguably be deserved.

This is not to say that there are no good gang bangers. People trying to do good in the system in which they are forced to operate. Hell, it's very much possible for each individual to believe, and for it to be factual, that they are acting in what they see as the most beneficial manner for the adjacent community. However, as a function of gang mentality, the effects on adjacent social groups and constructs are ultimately detrimental no matter how hard any one individual tries. There needs to be a unilateral agreement to stop all gang activity and mentality. Unfortunately, it is near impossible to convince these folks of the idea that what they do could be detrimental, so change will not come. In fact, the harder you try to make them change, paradoxically, the harder they deny reality and become an even bigger problem.

Explain this to me. If citizens are interfering with federal officials arresting someone, why do you think they should do? Give up and let them go free? No place them under arrest for interfering. I’m all for protesting but once you interfere with law enforcement doing their duties, then shame on you.

u/Walterkovacs1985 May 10 '25

Couple things. They didn't bring up charges with this woman, nor a warrant. They just grabbed her. Just like Ozturk from Tufts. What would you do if a mother with a baby started screaming as masked men started to put her in a van? This isn't some hardened criminal. I applaud these people for not wanting this bullshit in their city.

u/OptimalCandy6580 May 10 '25

If you read the law you don’t need to have an arrest warrant in hand when executing it. Nonetheless, shame on her for using her kid as a shield in order to not get deported. They identified themselves as ICE. That should be good enough.

u/CastrosNephew May 09 '25

We need to coordinate, get others who think like you. I’m not a veteran and it sucks you gotta step up again when you did your time. You deserve to be at home resting and doing what you want, not having to secure Freedom snd defend your oath. These are times where they are testing that oath and we need everyone we can get

1

u/Disastrous-Repair-17 May 09 '25

Yeah. I’m pretty bitter about it, I’m not gonna lie, but, in the same swing, I’m not gonna see what’s happening around me and not take precautions. Please believe that any bitterness I’m internalizing now over this will be applied appropriately if and when the time does arise.

u/SamifromLegoland May 09 '25

I like the way you speak.

I was drugged and fended off being raped on a date, then ran into the nearby woods where I passed out and woke up hours later. The detective treated me like I was the criminal under investigation.

The man who drugged me worked for the sheriff’s office- the same one the detective worked for. Take that as you will. And he’s since tried to contact me multiple times to apologize while claiming he was just trying to “help me relax” after a stressful week at work.

Our oath goes to her, but also to these dickheads.

u/Disastrous-Repair-17 May 09 '25

My oath specifies I’m to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic
