I was surprised that the masked men weren't law enforcement. Police hiding their faces because fascism is just standard procedure under President Epstein.
An interesting development
I love that I read your comment, then backed out to the main feed and the very next post is of a pig wearing what is effectively a ski mask
The logical conclusion is that that is not a real officer.
Then somebody should be arresting them for impersonating an officer.
That's what happened, right?
Unfortunately, I don't think syllogisms are enforceable law.
Not with that attitude
What do you mean, it's clearly a goverment officer, it says it right there on the ground!
Appropriate username
Nah, he legitimately works for the goverment.
It's an easy mistake - good guys wear balaclavas, criminals wear ski masks. Kind of like how the bad guy used to wear a black hat. /s
They always announce themselves except when they don't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-knock_warrant
And if I’m ever planning a home invasion, I need to get some red and white flashing light and a bullhorn.
Lies. ACAB.
This is gaslighting at this point. We all see the pigs with masks. We've all seen plainclothes officers in undercover cars make traffic stops.
I’m reading it as the quoted police officer is telling us it’s ok to shoot the masked kidnapper-variety police.
It's gonna happen eventually. People are on edge.
It should have already happened months ago, after all the "first amendment" and "freedom" talk we've been getting from Americans for years.
The ones in CT were using fucking Subaru Crosstreks for unmarked cars.
I guess “buy American” is less important than “sneak up on future brutality victims”.
Not disagreeing with ACAB but this particular guy was speaking on behalf of the Houston PD, saying they don’t wear ski masks. The two guys who got shot could be from any number of organizations.
And all are suitable candidates for shoot and let the courts settle it later.
Breonna Taylor's ghost would like a word.
Seriously, her boyfriend was arrested (but acquitted) for returning fire in their home when police had no lights, no sirens, and no bullhorn.
This officer's advice does not apply anywhere that no-knock warrants can still be obtained.
I wonder if this could be cited in court in the case of someone accidentally killing ICE agents, thinking they were robbers or worse.
lol, all that is bullshit. What a bunch of clowns.
Everyone is wrong sometimes
This has been happening for years, Apple even made a TV show about it.
Cops say they do no knocks and mask up for their own safety...
But this is America and people are even more on edge then ever. I honestly can't believe more actual cops haven't been shot by mistake yet.
Yes... mistake...
Dollar Store Hitler and his American Gestapo
This is another problem with police hiding their identity, it makes it easier for bozos like this to plausibly claim to be cops.
They could always have been ice deputees heading home from work wanting to make a little extra on the side….
How about in France in 2015?
