I will never be able to get over how horrible the CBP/ICE Nazis are.
This group was CBP. But yeah.
Yeah that tracks.
Horrible fact for the day: the word they use in official reports for Mexican immigrants is "tonk" (after a lot of people got upset that they used the word "wetback" in official documents). Know why?
It's the sound a metal flashlight makes when impacting a human head.
Yeah.
Thank you for that correction!
If 40 years on this wonder ball floating in space, has taught me anything, police in the USA love beating nonwhites.
They also love beating whites if they are non-straight or trans or their wife.
Also poor and slightly left of far right.
And sometimes just middle class white men as a treat
Don't forget autistic, neurodivergebt or just weird looking.
Or having a seizure, looks poor or is autistic.
Truely "shocking", I never thought this would happen!!
I am sure glad this only happens when somebody is recording!
Attacking marine dads. This is perfect, in the sense that if marines weren't already on the side of the people, they are now. Hope this guy recovers well, because the shoulder is one thing... but this is also an emotionally traumatizing experience
Some of them will change their minds. But I suspect that many will be fine with it for the same reason they don't care about any other lines being crossed - the victim is brown.
270k marines in the US. If they all just stop following Trump's demands, that would be something huh?
That would be fucking grand !
This will be the plot to a revenge movie in the future.
Those ice “agents” will be getting a visit in the night. Like in Yellowstone or something
Beating people is fine, immigrants, even better. But now they are coming for MARINES and their parents? The terrorist breeders??? Not good.
Listen up MARINES. This was targeted. They know how disciplined and trained you are. That's why it requires 7 immigration officers to detain one MARINE.
The article says it's the father of 3 Marines, one whos a veteran. I don't think the victim himself was a marine. Also there's no proof these guys were even affiliated with the government. Just another fucked up reason to not trust masked men claiming to be part of the government.
The family members of marines are getting their asses kick right now.
"to be fair", the ~~veterans~~ Marines in this news is the "wrong color". edit: I'm not American and don't know how to use the veteran status so I changed it to Marines as per the article.
pretty sure the white supremacists resent having "animals" in their ranks.
To be fair they're the wrong colour? Wtf are you even saying here?... and, can you not?
Like can you not be stepping in right now to try to explain for the racists? Who do you think you're helping out by deciding that's necessary?
STFU.
I'm sorry. you're right, there's no excuse for that comment. I didn't treat this seriously, and didn't think through what I wrote
It's cool bro, commenting on the Internet gets like that sometimes. But in this case I think we all understand what's going on.
I’m starting to really, really dislike this gestapo.
Bunch of irksome little rascals
Vandals and roustabouts.
Goons
Now, now, let's not go over board.
Sorry, I got excited
I'd love to see them pull that shit with his three sons around
I’d really like to think these sins will not go unpunished.
With recriminations in orders of magnitude.
Go gettem boys.
I can imagine bars full of MAGA people cheering the cops on. There's no cure for low character.
They seem to love hitting Marines. There's no way there aren't other Marines out there just waiting for a confrontation.
No they go after the OLD immigrants. They were so proud of having raided a dangerous swap meet last week… full of people shopping for tools, baby clothes and second hand furniture.
They will never go after a marine or a gang member… these ones can fight back.
Did his kids Vote Trump and this is a real !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world moment ? Or just another innocent bystander in the war on people ?
I would say that it depends on who you're talking about for the leopards at my face. It's not his fault if his kids voted for trump, only if he voted for trump.
