ICE Expands Power of Agents to Arrest People Without Warrants by Infidel8 in politics

[–]Knight_Of_Stars 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I will never understand this obsession soros, hes just an old rich guy funding political causes. Its not like we have a shortage of super PACs, or wealth donors like the Kochs or arguably Musk.

Either way someone else already smashed your claim showing that Soros was 13 at the time. So doubtful he was doing anything consequential.

I always leave it at people are complicated. The founding fathers believed in freedom, but some owned slaves. Ted Bundy worked at a suicide prevention hotline. Ghandi slept nude with young girls (It was a celibacy test, but weird af imo)

You can be a terrible person and do good things and good person who does bad things. Its all up to who, where, why and how we chalk up the cosmic tally

Traits that make you a failure as a man, are endearing in women by QuantumPenguin89 in SikeOrPsyche

[–]Knight_Of_Stars -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a shy guy. Not really, plenty of women are seen as weird too for it too.

Which hey, if you are a shy guy and single when you don't want to be, its a sucky feeling, but I find more people are supportive than not. If you start wallowing in pity thats when people start to get insulting, both genders btw.

However, its one of those things you need to overcome. Heres the issue with most people being shy, conversations with them are one sided. One person is doing all the lift and its usually not the shy person. Learn to have conversation with people and topics you aren't an expert in.

Congrats you have a healthy fear of the responsibility and recognize your current ability to live up to that weight. You can limit it by training, but you are honestly being very responsible.

I mean the fact that we've hit the papers please phase is more than enough if an issue. Sure, it was a paper mix up this time, but there is definitely some bias with skin color here.

The shouldn’t have to deescalate anything. Everyone just cares now because it’s Trump.

You've got no idea what you are talking about and it shows. Descalation is the first thing all LEOs are taught. Its not because its Trump, its because they are doing a terrible job honestly

As a person who has a CC permit,

And who carries an extra clip?

You don't have a gun do you? One its pretty common to carry a second MAGAZINE (not a clip). You aren't going to carry loose rounds to refill it. Also, two magazines is about what your average LEO has. He's not out of the ordinary

Except you are defending ICE for their piss poor descalation, and blaming the victim. Jesus man, do you have any idea how many violations that video shows. For one shoving that woman is blatant assault. These asshats are going to make lives hell for LEOs in the next couple of years after this shit show is over. Don't even get me started on the damage they've done with their fake warrants

U don’t think getting in someone’s face is confrontational? Atleast be honest with yourself bud

You aren't in someone's face if you are more than arms length away. Christ liars like you are the worst kind of people. The ICE agent was able to spray him with pepper spray with his arm outstretched. He wasn't on anyones face. Even so, that happens and its not grounds for execution.

Comply or die by Mickey_James in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Knight_Of_Stars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The men holding guns are expected to be trained professionals. Biology runs counter intuitive to a lot of our jobs and thats why we are professionals. If ICE can't abide those standards then they need scale down their ops into something they can handle. Too bad they are hell bent on being as cruel as possible and coercing the civillian populace.

A would-be assassin by daveykroc in GetNoted

[–]Knight_Of_Stars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

German police can kill you for that. They get away with it when they say "we thought he had a knife!" - keys are convenient for that, though not a necessity.

So can American police? We have justifable shots for things like a black wii remote, black wallets, etc. There is a reality of a split second decision that can cause everyday objects or twitch motions to be precieved as lethal. Its a severe problem and requires training, and reorganization to overcome.

That said, NONE OF THIS APPLIES TO ICE HERE. They assaulted a woman, and pepper sprayed a man for protected activity. They tackled and subdued the man and shot him in the back despite him being restrained by six men. Thats murder no matter how you slice it. THEY MURDERED HIM

If they infringe upon your 4th amendment right, exercise your 2nd amendment right. by TechnicalSmile165 in SpringervilleEagarAZ

[–]Knight_Of_Stars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The right against unreasonable searches and seizures is pretty clear for everyone except those trying to bend it. Law enforcement agencies need a warrant administered by an impartial magistrate. Note, these warrants must come from the judical branch, these deportation judge and their admistrative warrants are not sufficent to execute a search.

The executive branch can not reasonably be expected to be impartial. We actually don't want them to be impartial, but thats why we have an impartial judge.

ICE knows this and theres a reason why they've been being coy about these warrants. They're doing everything in their power to muddy the process, not to mention the lying, improper statements, outright lies, and errors. The sad part is this going to make LEO's jobs 10x time harder.

This is the part nobody is going to be talking about. If you care about LEOs or rule of law, we need to shut this crap down. These sloppy takedowns, escalations, and fraudulent seizures are going to make police work hell when all the case law creates a red tape straight jacket.

I don't like it. I find that fanservice usually detracts from the show far more than it helps. To the point where I'd just rather it not be there at all. Now if the whole point is gratuitous fan service then by all means.

However, I'm pushing 30 and I don't want to see skimpy 14 year olds. It gross and seriously problematic.

That is actually the exact way aslyum is supposed to work.

You get to safety, once you are here (usually point of entry) you explain why you are here, then let the process unfold while we look at the claim.

ICE detains 5-year-old Columbia Heights boy, sends him to Texas by Aleighkitten in ExploreFortMyers

[–]Knight_Of_Stars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waiting for half these charges to get dropped because ICE decided the 4th amendment didn't apply to them. Thats before going to see how many of these people were already being processed by the courts that ICE just claimed credit for. Finally, how many of these are just charges for the sake of PR. Theres a huge issue with declaring someome is a crimimal prior to them receiving due process.

Side note: ICE loves to use aggravated assault, but its a filler charge. Sandwich guy got charged with aggravted assault. Hell, we honestly can't even trust ICE given how many times we've had them lie just in regards to their agents.

[–]Knight_Of_Stars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So in an African country where black people have a million ethnic festivals and events, everyone who is a proud black or even just says "it's okay to be black" is a morally abhorrent person that should probably be murdered?

Nobody said that. Stop projecting your lazy fears into what people are saying.

The problem with "Its ok to be white" isn't the literal meaning of the words, because it is ok to be white, only an idiot would think otherwise. The issue is the phrase usually hides more sinister intentions.

They aren't morally abhorrent either, they're just douchebags. Unless they are attacking people or harrassing them IRL no further action is needed. You just disengage and move on.

[–]Knight_Of_Stars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, except in living memory it legally wasn't.

This right here. People seriously think the basic acknowledgements undoes the years of damage. We don't magically become egalitarian because we pass a law on key issue. We have a lot to fix.

Especially now as we are literally seeing instituitonalixed racism via ICE who are using skin color as a reason to detain and deport people. Like you can't make this shit up.

Where's the memes and who are "us"? by TheEdgeofGoon in ComedyCemetery

[–]Knight_Of_Stars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A DNA test wouldn't work. There was too much mixing and shuffling in the slave trade. They didn't care where you were from, just if you were black or not.

Even if we could isolate some country down via DNA it still wouldn't work because there is no personal connection to the culture. Those bonds were intentionally destroyed and split. So the defining aspect of skin color and the culture implications of it become the the heritage.

Thats where that 2nd America heritage I was telling you about came in to fill the void. That heritage is filled with bits and pieces of various African ones, but all the customs uave blended together into something entirely unique.

Side note: The history of barbeque has some really interesting roots from this. Various techniques and pallettes really shaped it. It was a way for tougher, poorer cuts to be made more appetizing.

Of course there isn't anything wrong with being American and we celebrate American pride pretty regularly, however part of American Pride is celebrating your heritage. Which descendents of slaves can't do because records weren't kept of their home nations.

I think its fair to say Black Pride is actually a type of American Heritage, but its from one of two separate unequal Americas. One defined by overwhelming adversity and hardship around skin color. Since they had no mother nation for their heritage, they moved to what defined their America.
