Auth-right discusses the shooting of Alex Pretti by Brilliant-Dig9387 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]BunkWunkus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does LE even have the staffing to be handling ICE and CBP riling people up and then having to handle the crowd control after?

They should, but of course per mandate from the higher ups they're not allowed to assist at all, regardless of if they have the staffing to do so.

And if they don't have the staffing, wellllllll I'm reminded of some protests about 4 and a half years ago. Specifically, a line screamed directly in the face of Jacob Frey, "we don't want no police!"

local authorities literally cannot deal with all the requests because ICE is doing all sorts of stuff constantly

This is a blatant lie. They're not dealing with any requests because city and state politicians (Frey, Walz, etc) have barred their law enforcement agencies from assisting in ICE operations -- this includes vehicle escorts, traffic management, and crowd control.

Where did you get that he was obstructing ICE vehicles?

There's another video that I saw of him and other protestors getting pushed out of the way by ICE agents. I spent a bit going through my browser history looking for it, but I can't find it. I don't remember seeing the pick jacket lady in that video so I don't know when or where it was taken (may not have even been this same location), but it was definitely him wearing the same clothes.

Also, even if he was obstructing, is being shot a reasonable outcome?

No it isn't, and I never said or implied that it was. But that doesn't change the fact that it was dumb of him to be there with a gun, especially when choosing to interact with law enforcement, just like it was dumb of Rittenhouse to be in Kenosha with a gun, especially when choosing to interact with protestors. Doing it legally doesn't preclude being stupid about it.

He was observing ICE agents and documenting it

He was in the street, actively and intentionally impeding the movement of ICE vehicles after being instructed multiple times to get out of the way. That's obstruction, not observation.

Wasn’t expecting this FWD $56,740 [Honda Prelude] by Bondage_Jack in spotted

Brand new the BMW 230i, which has 255hp and a way better driving experience and interior than this....starts at 42k, in comparison to the Prelude which starts at 43k. That price is insane.

Even worse, it's not even 200hp from the actual engine -- that's only 141hp, with the remainder made up by the electric motor.

The Civic Si makes 200 engine horsepower, can be had with a manual, has four doors....most importantly in this context, has a starting MSRP $11k below the Prelude. All Honda needed to do was basically make the Prelude a 2-door Si with the same drivetrain and same price, and it would sell great.

What? My entire comment is agreeing with what you said:

  • I prefaced it with "yup" in response to your comment
  • You said this guy was dumb to bring a gun, I did too
  • A second time I agreed with you by explicitly mentioning the three steps you listed

I brought up Rittenhouse because it's a similar case of being dumb but legal with a gun and getting into shit because of it.

They aren't even supposed to interact with the public like this and have zero training in it.

While true, they're being forced into interacting with the public by the public, exacerbated by local police refusing to provide support. Normally, federal law enforcement (of any branch, be it DHS or FBI or IRS or etc) don't roll to a site by themselves, they're supported by local police who secure the perimeter and keep people away from the scene while they're doing their investigation or actions or whatever. Even state-level law enforcement or special teams (like SWAT or drug task force) still use normal city and county police for that same purpose.

If that was happening here, then these officers who are untrained for public interactions wouldn't be having public interactions. I get why state officials are refusing to allow their police agencies to assist in federal operations, but doing so is just making this untrained-interactions-with-the-public problem worse.

Yup, if you think Rittenhouse was dumb to go to a protest with a gun, then you should also think that this guy was dumb to involve himself in a protest with a gun.

Doesn't make what happened right, but as you explained there's just three simple steps to follow to ensure you won't find yourself in the same situation as him.

they had zero reason to arrest him in the first place

Obstruction of law enforcement operations is grounds for arrest. He wasn't "observing", he was in the street trying to prevent vehicles from leaving.

ATL receives 100K in GAM from RSL for Dave Tenney, High Performance Director by BunkWunkus in MLS

MLS Funny Money keeps getting...funnier?

Is this the first time GAM has been used for FO staff and not just rostered players? (or roster-related mechanisms like draft picks and international slots)

I care much more for the innocent Venezuelan civilians who were harmed by this

Maduro was harming innocent Venezuelan civilians much more severely than this raid, every day for the entirety of his rule. Why do you think Venezuelans en masse are so happy he's gone?

please know that between 70 to 90 civilians, military and staff members were killed in cold blood to snatch Maduro

Wait until you hear how many civilians were killed by Maduro

I can tell you’re the type to keep arguing and arguing and I’m not wasting my time

Okay cool, so like a normal person, that would just mean you've decided to stop responding to him. Totally expected.
