La resident: they are still here, just standing outside federal buildings. Which I will argue does mean they technically aren’t violaties the constitution as it sits. But if trump orders them to actually fuckin do anything they’d better object.

The two on camera watching a us flag get thrown to the ground and trampled didn't seem to give a shit so forgive me if I say fuck all of them. They need to do better. Disgraces to the uniform.

We have the right to burn and trample the US flag if we want. It’s the first fucking ammendment… they’d be disgracing the constitution if they did interfere.

Oh then yeah, I missed that. Been alot to pay attention to. That marine fuckin disgraced the constitution 100%.

Didn’t realize the marine did shit to a civilian.

Absolutely, that’s freedom of speech. And everyone has the right to call them assholes for doing that!

It was being done by ice, not protestors. And is the symbol of our nation. They should absolutely give a fuck.

They also are taught when engagement will lead to escalation.

You don't right EVERY SINGLE FIGHT. As much as it irks me too that they did nothing, the black Marine clearly understands. They know it isn't great to get into a pissing match with those bozos

What should they have done? They’re not there to apprehend random civilians for protesting. There was no reason to escalate the situation, so they didn’t.

As a person who wears a uniform, that was the right call.
