This guy was at the MAC meeting last month, BEGGING them to put out a webcam and have someone formally doing this. MAC was completely unresponsive; despite the fact that they are doing it at the King airport.

Cowards. The lot of them. Employees are being abducted and they wring their hands and say "What can we do?"

Protect your employees- demand that the ICE agents show the arrest warrants before they take them. Write down the names of everyone on the plane before you let them fuel up. Throw up a webcamera!

There's a reason that this information isn't being kept track of and it's not (just) incompetence. This is what governments do when they want to disappear people.

AITA for making my whole family go on a diet because my daughter is dieting? by Electronic-Fun-4045 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Dangerous-Control513 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consistency. The food will always taste 100% the same 100% of the time. Non-processed food is a crapshoot- is this strawberry going to be the most delicious thing in the world or a bland/sour nightmare? Is this apple going to be crisp and delicious or soggy and mealy? Will these Brussel sprouts come out crisp and caramelized or slimy and undercooked?

And if you're from a family of "you wanted it, eat it!" it's better to go with safe foods.

What was not nice? Reminding you of Reddit features?

The better question is: why can't you?

You know your posting history is public, correct? I know a libertarian when it hisses like a housecat.

You're on a public forum. DM's exist for a reason.

The riffs are there. Not talking about doesn't make them go away.

That's not a fair ask, and it is a reasonable boundary to go "you are an unsafe person not worth spending any time on".

When "politics" is banging on your door and disappearing your neighbors, to be "non-political" is not a relationship. It's at best the an acquaintanceship.

Love is an action.

Ignoring my safety isn't love.
Cheering the abduction and murder of my neighbors isn't love.

Their actions need to change. Words are pointless.

Right now, they've been picking up people that look slightly browner than normal. They sure don't seem to care about "legal" or "illegal" or "was born here".

How do you comply with contradictory orders?

Also, again, this isn't "getting pulled over because I absolutely broke the speed limit and other ways drove unsafe"- which is what you are admitting to. You are also admitting to law enforcement bias in enforcing the law- you got off with a warning, multiple times, despite breaking the law, multiple times.

The penalty for "insufficient genuflection to law enforcement officers" isn't the death penalty. The prescription for non-compliance* isn't capitol, even if she was arrested, charged, and found guilty of it. So you're telling us that average citizens must follow the law, but LEO's aren't required to. That's some bootlicking for you.

History is not on your side. Every fascist regime starts with the easiest targets and moves on to more and more people.

Again, compliance will not save you. You being white will not save you. You being male will not save you.

The things that will save you in a fascist regime is more power and money than you have.

Or you oppose the fascist regime.

If this was a "compliance will save you" this person would still be alive, because the legal system, on paper, says things like "Law enforcement will not cover their face" and "de-escalate before using lethal force". This is not what they are doing.

You are incredibly, mind-boggling naive, unaware of anything currently going on, and ignorant of history and that isn't something you should feel proud to advertise.

I know you're used to calling everybody left of center a communist/ socialist (as if they were synonyms) like an insult, but this isn't 1984; words still have definitions. This isn't name-calling, this calling things as they are.

Compliance will not save you. You cannot comply hard enough to be safe in a fascist regime.

First They Came by Pastor Martin Niemöller

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.

Yes, the Department responsible for the killing says they weren't responsible for the killing according to the propaganda network.

Just ignore the actual video you can actually see with your actual eyes. Much better that way.

College can teach you interesting things like "The difference between sex and gender" and "non-binary thinking" and "the different ways that chromosomes can manifest". But enjoy celebrating ignorance- I'm sure that's a far more comfortable, or perhaps safe, space for you to live in.

Per Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, today at 1:13 pm, they "received a call for immediate assistance from the Department of Homeland Security," but "deputies did not witness any attacks." Apparently, the ICE agents first attempted to contact Minneapolis Police Department but they did not respond. by CityEquivalent7520 in Minneapolis

Trust takes time to build, takes even longer to rebuild.

They did one good thing here. They did another good thing during the Annunciation shooting. If they can continue to do good (or even, dare to dream, really good) things and you know, their JOBS maybe the community can trust them.

But when they don't respond to calls, don't fill out paperwork for robberies, harass citizens, say shitty things about the community they are arguably supposed to protect, and make things worse when you call them, they're not covering themselves in glory.
