Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

There you go. Go after the little people. Put them in prison. They're committing crimes, kidnapping and battery among others. Tackle them and put cuffs on them. Let their defense team explain how they were acting under legal authority, what statutes were involved, where their warrant was.
I understand that things have gone insane on the federal level, but they're still committing crimes in municipal places.
In a perfect world, we could impeach Trump for causing these things to happen, but it's still absolutely possible to interfere with the actual people who are committing crimes in order to implement the stuff.
Lets see how the different branches of law enforcement handle it. If they collectively disregard the judicial branch, we're officially fucked.
Actually, they're fucked. If cops start ignoring judges, citizens can start ignoring cops. If there is no law backing the law enforcement, then they're nothing but armed terrorists and should be dealt with accordingly. Id LOVE to see ICE try some shit in LA or Fresno.
A tightly knit, professionally trained, ideologically uniform organization is going to be a bigger danger to the public at large than a random subset of disorganized dissidents will be to the police.
While it would be extremely entertaining to see ICE stumble dick first into an LA County Deputies Gang, they are more likely to find common cause than conflict given that they're both fascist af.
"Professionally trained" buddy these freaks mag dump on acorns falling off trees.
The one thing working 6 months for the USCG taught me was how thin a line the government operates on. Even at the pseudomilitary level with all the funding DHS can provide, boats barely function, equipment barely runs, and maintainence is almost always pushed back due to budget. 80% of their shit is falling apart and the 20% that isn't is in some management's office and hasn't been used by anyone competent since acquisition.
As far as I'm concerned, any government run organization is maybe 4 weeks away from folding like a lawn chair. I really, REALLY don't think the odds are great of a perfect fascist cleansing taking less than a month in this country.
