I would hope that when they look out into a crowd of protestors and try to see the enemy and instead see themselves that it would hit them in their heart. But who knows

Ya this sorta idealistic hope is how you get sent to a camp.
You need to get angry, not weakly hopeful. No time for hope. Time for asserting yourselves as powerful.
This protest is pleading with the powerful to have shame which is absurd.

As i have read on here one time, the ICE parking lot is probably full with pick-up trucks that have the Punisher logo on the back.
These guys truly believe that they are the heroes saving America from the illegal immigrant menace, and that's what makes them so dangerous.
Hitler's SA started out the same, a paramiltary group of young males with no prospects for the future who were lured in by Nazi ideology and someone to blame for their problems.

Which is especially ironic considering there's a high chance the Punisher would gun these guys down in the streets. Doesn't take kindly to racist kidnapping pieces of shit, I'd imagine.

This is an FPS officer. Federal Protective Service.
They protect federal buildings from crime exclusively.
They have absolutely nothing to do with immigration or any street crime. If they’re out during a protest it’s just to make sure a federal building or court isn’t overrun…this photo was likely taken of him standing on the sidewalk of a federal facility. And he won’t step off it.
So I don’t think he’s out there doing what people think he is. They’re federal security police.

They weren’t at Jan 6 either.
They protect federal buildings that don’t have their own police force. The Capitol building has United States Capitol Police.
Most federal buildings across the United States can just afford contract security guards and these guys drive around large areas and just back them up when real crime occurs or a riot or whatever.
They’re the protective service of the average federal building.

God forbid a federal officer doing his job protecting federal buildings.
Just because their job is to remove protestors off federal property does not mean they dont support the cause.
You want them to just let the protestors into the building?

That mirror was made in China. That purchase helped support the genocide of Muslims in China and the child labor in China.

u/ClosPins 22d ago edited 22d ago
You mean 'look at the sun in the mirror', because that mirror isn't angled directly at the agent.
It's interesting how Reddit always has to have slightly dishonest titles, or else no one clicks.
EDIT: In the case, the dishonesty is paramount! Everyone here sides with the protestors - and Redditors don't want to think that their side would ever try to blind someone who was just doing their job. So, they have to pretend that the protestors aren't trying to blind the guy. If the title was honest, everyone would down-vote it instead of up-vote.

God damn you guys are just an echo chamber. I didn't side with (R) or (D) but you guys are so closed off to any kind of upsetting view without a real conversation, or discord of feelings, it just works into an echo chamber of people who are trying to please the Internet masses. Trump's an ass. Biden was not medically able to be president for at least half of his presidency. Both bad. Instead of playing sides and joining a team, why don't we talk about what people want? let's all take a really really big breath and come to some agreements

You’d get deported if you crossed into Mexico as well. We can’t just ignore the law and allow illegal immigration, that’s absolutely insane. Let’s not forget that illegal immigrants are responsible for the deaths of innocent women and children in this country as well.

Its so strange that how on Reddit, the United States is the only country in the world that has to have open borders and zero enforcement of the law and anything short of that is "fascism."
You guys realize that borders in other countries look like this, right? So why is it "fascist" for the US not to pull down their fences between Mexico or deport illegal immigrants?
