Idk it just doesn't send the right message. Just looks look like a bunch of brats vandalizing stuff using ICE raids as an excuse. Why not smash actual ICE cars?
oh no not the poor property owned by a corporation :(
I'm not worried for the corporation at all, more worried about the public image this gives off from everybody classifying activists as looters and knuckleheads.
If you’re so worried about that then maybe you should stop insinuating that you think that way and defend these protesters from smears by the media. You can’t tone police an organically arisen protest movement. These are regular (but very brave) people fighting fascist government institutions. It’s very easy to recognise the actual bad guys here so don’t go and pretend it’s not.
Cause of the guys with guns in those cars. They waymos are being called in and set in fire to disrupt the roads and make it harder for cops to get around.
I think it's beautiful and inspring, and there were police and ICE vehicles damaged with at least one burned as well. If someone thinks these people or anyone rioting these days are 'brats', better optics won't change that. People at the time thought MLK and the civil rights movement were too violent, how do people view it now?
I don't think the activists are really worried about messaging. The political system in this country has completely abandoned these people and left them no choice but to take community defense into their own hands. Both political parties have doubled down on border fascism, building a bigger police surveillance state, building more prisons, and building more police counterinsurgency training centers. These people aren't out here trying to convince people to vote for Democrats. They are taking direct action to inhibit raids in their community.
They did on a few occasions. The majority were LAPD because they formed the majority of the repressive forces deployed so far.
It is worth noting that Waymo is a Google property though. Google is a significant defense and surveillance contractor that provides technology to ICE.
It’s looks like a fun get together to me
Interesting that you're upset about the message these protestors are sending instead of the message that the cops are sending, the state is sending, the federal government is sending, the national guard is sending, ICE is sending......
I'm just saying it's better to directly attack those government vehicles rather than a self driving car.
Well the message isn't for you then.
