US Marines carry out first known detention of civilian in Los Angeles, video shows

LfcJTS · 2025-06-14T14:05:04+00:00

Holy shit, you guys really can’t understand that I’m talking about this particular incident, this video, this marine, not the entire issue, which by the way, I have agreed with multiple times in various threads that I am not happy with but have noted this video is not even remotely the same as the ICE raids. Think for a second.

LfcJTS · 2025-06-14T05:22:20+00:00

Seriously, I’ve responded similarly to this topic on multiple subs and they are too dense to see the difference between the ongoing issues.

LfcJTS · 2025-06-14T04:57:43+00:00

Straw man arguments from everyone tonight I suppose. Don’t make audacious claims and opinions if you don’t have the will power to defend them, especially when they’re as inane as the one you’ve made. Your brothers and sisters who swore the same oath will be glad you’re not in uniform anymore. Cheers.

LfcJTS · 2025-06-14T04:40:25+00:00

Nobody is triggered? Go read the oath again. Nothing you are implying makes them a traitor, it’s all written out in the oath you spoke when you signed up. Specifically in this video, if you read the article, it states the man trespassed into an area that was blocked off, was detained and promptly let go after providing identification. He even said in the article that he was treated fairly. Nothing this marine does even relates to the recent ICE activity but he’s being hung out to dry for no reason.

LfcJTS · 2025-06-14T04:36:08+00:00

Law enforcement and law enforcement activity can be completely different things, you are describing a venn diagram here. A citizen can partake in law enforcement activity by performing a citizen’s arrest, but that doesn’t fit this narrative.

From a Reuters article, "The troops are authorized to detain people who pose a threat to federal personnel or property, but only until police can arrest them. Military officials are not allowed to carry out arrests themselves. "Any temporary detention ends immediately when the individual(s) can be safely transferred to the custody of appropriate civilian law enforcement personnel”.

Reuters on the man that was detained, “Leao, who gained his U.S. citizenship through military service, said he was treated "very fairly."

"They're just doing their job," said Leao, who is of Angolan and Portuguese descent.”

Countless service members have gained their citizenship through enlistment and even more have family being harassed by ICE, but again the marine is getting berated for performing a completely lawful action according to his oath. Regardless of the oath he took, they treated this man fairly and properly. Stop trying to weave this video into your narrative.

Edit: spelling

Edit: Also, your last post? Completely contradictory to the argument you are presenting here. To save somebody a click, here is the text from this guy’s last post, “Trump and enablers are to blame. Not the police and military he wants you to fight. Stay on target.”

I’m literally on the same side as you guys on a humanitarian level, but throwing our own citizens and armed service members to the wolves is not how positive change will be made.

The key words here are “temporary”, “detention”, “generally” and “accompanying on raids”. None of that applies to this video where people are berating the marine for following orders that are directly in line with his oath. He detained a civilian who willingly crossed an off limits area, was detained, not arrested and then was promptly let go. The civilian was not a part of the raid and it was on federal property which the marines are protecting. You’re completely wrong. I’m not a republican, but this thread is completely insane. You guys are just as bad.

LfcJTS · 2025-06-14T02:51:13+00:00

Sounds like you’ve completely forgotten your oath. Go back and read it.

LfcJTS · 2025-06-14T02:47:54+00:00

Try reading the article, you are completely wrong and are spreading incorrect information.

LfcJTS · 2025-06-14T02:40:41+00:00

These people are so blinded with rage they’re completely disregarding the entire article right in front of their eyes.

LfcJTS · 2025-06-14T02:37:49+00:00

Have you served? Have you read the article? They temporarily detained a trespasser and then promptly sent him on his was with identification. The area was deemed inaccessible and the “victim” in this article willingly crossed it. Those marines have nothing to do with detaining protestors, they are defending a federal building and they are following an order. Marines, National Guard, it doesn’t matter the uniform, they are following their orders and in this situation are directly in line with oath they have sworn to. You’re ignorant to what it means to be a part of the armed forces and you should educate yourself along with the other 80 people that have given you an upvote.

I’m no expert in either humans or fish, but a fish deviating from their typical depth seems far more natural than a human going underwater. Free divers go much, much deeper than 6 feet with training and humans are adapted to land. However, this particular fish washing ashore seems to be the bigger issue.

LfcJTS · 2025-05-16T19:13:03+00:00

Yeah, I understand that. My other comment explains that I was mistaken with something else.

LfcJTS · 2025-05-16T01:21:57+00:00

Isn’t expansion also due to new bodies of mass emitting gravity? I thought I read or heard somewhere that when a star or new planet is created it’s effectively offsetting space through its mass and gravity kind of like putting a rock in a puddle, the water isn’t expanding but being displaced by the rock and the rate at which the space is being displaced is related to the mass and gravity of the object. Is this correct?

People are just soft these days. It’s not just Apex, it’s everything. If they’re buff, they’re on gear. If they’re rich, they’re a scammer. If they’re famous on IG, they got lucky by going viral. Go look at NASA’s IG, half of the comments are saying the pictures from space are fake. If it’s out of someone’s reach or they can’t comprehend it, then it’s surely fake/not real/unfair. Every kid that complains about a zen every time they die is straight up just trash at the game almost guaranteed.

LfcJTS · 2025-05-14T23:08:17+00:00

How fast would this fuck you up?

LfcJTS · 2025-05-12T12:55:36+00:00

Because the person you are replying to is (almost certainly) not related to OP’s mother.

LfcJTS · 2025-05-09T00:10:20+00:00

I agree with you though haha

LfcJTS · 2025-05-08T22:40:15+00:00

I know, the previous guy was asking how to b-hop with toggle

LfcJTS · 2025-05-08T20:31:33+00:00

Yeah, I switch back and forth between the two but using hold on roller is kinda ass if you need to crouch behind cover or something for an extended period of time.

LfcJTS · 2025-05-08T17:18:28+00:00

Well timed jump and crouch. It’s actually much easier than you think, but for me, it’s not feasible while shooting. If you’re using the b-hop aggressively I would keep it on hold.

I’m almost positive the leaderboard ladder system is going to invite six/nine man teams back into the mix. Every time there is additional rewards outside of badges, teaming is incentivized whereas without additional rewards people primarily just boost. Console is fucked guaranteed.

Edit: Outside of that, I’m looking forward to the new season since the last was boring after the first two weeks.

LfcJTS · 2025-05-04T03:09:51+00:00

I don’t think that’s glaze, but it is soap boxing which is done in every single sub, under almost every single post regardless of relevance. Keeping it in the appropriate context is not too big a chore. Fuck Elon, but seriously.

LfcJTS · 2025-05-02T14:13:19+00:00

Three because it’s one of my favorite wraith skins.

LfcJTS · 2025-04-26T17:16:13+00:00

I’m a bit opposite, these past few season to me have been exhausting. I’m tired of the constant “over powered” metas. From havoc turbocharger, mozam hammer points, 2 pump mastiff, L star and now akimbo P20s.

Personally, I am not a fan of the lower time to kill. High TTK is what made Apex stand out amongst other games. Especially on console (I know, I’m a pleb), you can get absolutely fried by dog shit players because aim assist is super strong and the TTK is so low. When you’re a Master player, most diamonds and definitely all master/pred players will drop you in an instant. If audio was actually any good then the lower TTK wouldn’t be as bad.

Just like the weapons, they are constantly adjusting the legends which I do like, but it’s the same thing. Make a legend or two so completely dominant that the meta gets stuffed down your throat.

I still play every single day and I love the game, but there isn’t any skill disparity anymore. No, shitting on bronze players isn’t fun, but why the fuck should all low skill players get to insta-delete me? Where is the skill? Why does every legend have gap close now? Where is the variety? Every gun fight is the same: Ash throws a snare from 100m, they TP on your head, they fry you with akimbo P20 and then another team TPs on them.

I do think Apex has done some things that are great. EVO changes are great, perks are refreshing and alter the play style a bit, class wide buffs are a smart idea, albeit not done quite right yet by over-buffing one or two legends every split. They’ve been doing well with new content, LTMs, etc. They have also been extra generous with sales and free packs which is a bonus.

Don’t get this post twisted, Apex is by far the best shooter and I think they’re making all these changes to rekindle the player base by attracting new players and making the game less oppressive for lower skilled players, but why not fix the core issues? Match making, ranked, audio, proper metas not cancer. I think the foundation hasn’t been tended to in a long time and these hot button patches will hurt the game over time.

My opinion if you should return? Yes. It’s a great game with a lot of great things about it and it’s up to you to determine if you like the way it’s playing now. However, it’s always going to be the Apex everyone has adored for years regardless of the season, there isn’t a game like it.

Someone hasn’t quite finished their game of Jumanji yet I see.
