Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The problem I for see is the Gestapo vehicles are unmarked. If any of these cowardous, murderous bastards kill again, and they will, they'll do like the other asshole and hide in their unmarked truck and speed off.
The Feds already made it clear they will actively undermine any attempts to investigate their crimes or arrest their goons.
They need to start setting up checkpoints on the street and detain any armed groups wearing masks with no ID. Honestly, seems like a pretty reasonable thing for any local law enforcement to do during a time of unrest.
Or for any group of concerned citizens to do.
Cops generally tend to stick together. Some of those that work forces and whatnot.
We've all heard of the citizen's arrest but that sounds like a situation that calls for a citizen's PIT maneuver.
If one black SUV full of masked men in tacticool gear starts shooting at another black SUV full of masked men in tacticool gear, how do you tell the 'good' guys? Or do you just assume it's a workplace dispute?
That part is none of my business, I'm just in it for the loot drops.
You know I was gonna say something snide, but I legit would probably jack a gun from a feds corpse if given the opportunity. Prolly not a cop though, the ones in my town recognize me since I go to the gas station, they call me Surplus.
Gear adrift is a gift. Who am I to say no to the loot fairy?
Brings to mind the idea of the FP-45 Liberator though. If I had nothing and was out on the street, could realistically collect cans and bottles for a week or so and snag a shitty Hi-Point as an investment toward decent equipment.
Legit didn't know the US military made a zip gun for occupied territories during the war. Guess it kinda get overshadowed by the Sten gun which operated under similar principles of cheap mass production pieces of effective shit.
Put up fucking checkpoints and make ICE agents ID themselves. Then tell them to get the fuck out of town.
People need to buy drones and follow them
That's a lot harder now that importing Chinese drones is illegal
Methinks not.
Those are 99% trash
So? They don't need to carry ordnance or provide professional level cinematography results. They just need to have a camera that sends video back to the operator without line of sight so you can keep tabs on somebody from a few blocks away.
I just checked; the updated version of the drone that I own is readily available on Amazon and is manufactured by Xiaomi of all people (FIMI). If it's banned, they're not doing a very good job at it. Mine is quite capable of transmitting clean video back to you from over a mile away.
Yes, and my point is that the vast majority of those are so cheap and shitty that they can't even accomplish that.
Just like everything on Amazon. Look, if you buy a $20 indoor toy that's what you get. But trying to say that it's "hard" to buy a competent enough drone for a couple of hundred bucks because they're banned is 100% false. There are perfectly cromulent options handily available right there on that page. Hell, the DJI mini 3 is the second search result.
