This has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with intimidation. Immigration is just the excuse here, the message is we can take anyone anywhere even your congressional office. Fall in line or we will come for you.
Lemmy guess, democratic congressman's office was invaded and excessive use of force was the cherry on top?
Hey, look at that! I was right!
Arrested for "harboring rioters" who blocked traffic. That's not even close to a crime.
- Blocking traffic, as much as it is a pita to drivers, is not rioting. It's a peaceful protest and well within 1A.
  
  It's at worst a civil offense like a parking ticket.
If trump isn’t going to be held accountable for these abuses, the agents carrying out these arrests should. Start arresting and charging ice agents
We really need to make false arrests a criminal offense
- Seems like a form of kidnapping to me.
  
  And human trafficking, depending on what they do after the arrest.
  But that doesn't cover all wrongful arrests. Ive been arrested several times, and every time it was a wrongful arrest. I had to fight it in court and won freedom, but the police who arrested me will never face justice because they didn't commit a crime. We need to make it criminal.
And you’re next!
I'm GLAD we Didn't make Lawful Behavior POLITICAL!
-Literally EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE!
Wtf? Why is there no comment by the Democratic Party? They should be furious
- Because the Democratic Party are also owned by fascists.
- They used to at least pretend to be furious. We need to demand they go back to at least pretending. This calls for a very strong letter. Someone get me our fearless leader, Chuck Shumer. And lets put in a call to AIPAC to get their permission to write this.
You can attack police if they attack you. These fuckers need consequences
- Assaulting an officer carries more severe consequences though. So keep that in mind when you do, and make sure it's worth it. If you know what I mean.
  
  If everyone did it, it would be unenforceable
  
  Sounds like they are refusing to show ID in a lot of cases (not sure if they refused here), so they are likely private citizens masquerading as officers.
- You “can” do anything at any time. Consequences still exist tho, especially if you arent a member of the correct group.
Thoughts and prayers
