The police and national guard protect the NATION, not the people. That was never part of their job.
All government employees are bastards.
Then they're failing because ICE and Trump and MAGA are destroying the NATION. They should be out there defending due process, the Bill of Rights and the rule of law, all of which ICE tramples in the mud.
Ummm they got that job so they could bully people and do whatever they want. Don’t bank on the police or the military being the ones to “do the right thing,” those people—all of them—are fucking baby killing scumbags.
Gonna be honest with you chief: you need to read more theory.
Acab but they don't HAVE to be, it's not an actual job requirement, just how it plays out in practice. Besides, we're only asking them to be bastards to the ICE bastards instead of to their neighbors, it's not THAT difficult.
Why would robbers want to be bastards to fellow robbers‽
Jealousy? Could work.
Not working even in Italy rn…
They swear an oath to the constitution and what ice is doing is unconstitutional because it violates the fourth amendment and what they’re doing to protesters violates the first amendment.
Does this oath worked for Kent State & Philly?
No but the backlash to the killings ultimately led to the end of the Vietnam war. I never said that the military has never broken the law I simply stated that they take an oath to the constitution and that is a fact
An oath that is broken all the time: and serves no one
HahahahhahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahaahhHhHhHhHhHhHhH
You’re gonna be one day person when you realize that ZERO of them plan to get courtmartialed for a few million dead citizens.
