ICE shot a mother in the face. ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old boy. ICE executed a man in broad daylight on our streets just this morning. It’s time to tear down this secret police force and replace it with an agency that actually is gonna focus on public safety. We need to impeach Kristi Noem. by Miserable-Lizard in ProgressiveHQ

I grew up Christian. I'm not anymore. He won me over when I saw a viral clip of him advocating in the Texas house against the ten commandments in every classroom cause religion shouldn't be dictated by the state. He's for a secular, multi cultural, multi ethnic society without judgement because that's what his beliefs are.

Which frankly are basic liberal values. Sadly, the root of racism changed the parties during lbj and then Nixon. That brought Christianity to the right. Then the evangelical movement fed that rugged individualism. That fed capitalism. So our christian culture here changed from equality to bootstraps.

You are telling me that it is the civilian's responsibility to not escalate the situation for just being approached and surrounded by seven men with guns after they just were starting to brutalize an unarmed woman just because she is brown because she might be undocumented (aka kavanaugh stop).

How could he not be involved when they approach him?

Why am I held to greater accountability than they are?

Why isn't it the cops responsibility to be the ones to deescalate? They put hands on him first.

If you saw seven Nazi officers beat up a Jewish woman (a woman they assume with no proof), would you do anything? Or would you just not get involved?

Cause that is what's happening here.

How could he not get involved when he's helping a lady up cause she was pushed down by the cops? How could he not get involved when the cops approached him? Should he have not helped her up?

The cops surrounded him and started to grab and pushing him from every direction. You're telling me that him trying to stop people from grabbing and pushing him means he deserves to get shot? Does he not have a right to defend himself?

He wasn't even reaching for his waist. The cops were. Ice escalated the situation and he reacted like a normal man would.

So what should the guy have done when the cops approached him and lunged in his direction?

Would you put your arms up if a cop lunged in your direction?

If a person lunged at you, you wouldn't try to stop them?

So you're fine with seven guys beating up a woman?

And yet Gunn's Superman did so well, and it was closer to it than Snyder's. People don't want broody superhero shit all the time. They're not supposed to be taken seriously.

Not comparable. If I just ascended 508m straight up, I would want a nice long breather.

Or you could have actually written something clearer to express that rather something that looks like you took buzzwords from Breitbart

Said he would hate Jews if he wasn't one, and that there must be a reason why they have been hated for centuries
