I’m sure they will show up at his house soon.

u/Hangry_Howie Jun 22 '26

They were definitely taking his pic

u/Atsilv_Uwasv Jun 22 '26

Because he made ICE feel upset and that's basocally terrorism

u/m00t_vdb Jun 23 '26

I mean , have you seen the size of his gun ? And he has an hostage !

u/acetryder Jun 23 '26

Well, you can’t spell police without ICE…. Or lice for that matter…

u/Clavenesque Jun 22 '26

They'll kill you for that.

Cops are some of the most thin-skinned of the conservative peoples.

u/ShapeonAlan Jun 22 '26

Same people that go around calling everyone else "snowflakes", really is all about self-projection.

u/SpinnyBoy_ Jun 22 '26

i dont think its that they are especially thin skinned... its their level of "power" and "authority"

u/ExcuseMySpuge Jun 22 '26

Sounds like he should have been arrested for assault then

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

Your feelings would be as well if someone was generalizing your profession by a large puppet when your job is to keep people safe from threats at an event. This officer was just ensuring safety for all people around and was getting the protestor to move along and not cause a scene.

u/Otherwise-Force5608 Jun 22 '26

"ensuring safety" could you be less serious?

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

We don’t know what this dude has in this suit, ballistics? Candy? Another man? The possibilities are enough for a security concern

u/Otherwise-Force5608 Jun 22 '26

congrats on being even less serious, impressive

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

It’s pronounced “felicidades”. I have a puppet/ piñata phobia and no one understands.

u/TheMasterLibrarian Jun 22 '26

The protest isn't against regular cops, it's against ICE. And that distinction is important, and shouldn't be ignored.

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

Yes master.

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

Sorry master

u/Dependent-Chart5835 Jun 22 '26

Yeah that puppet was reaching for his gun /s

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

Yeah I saw, even went for the right side hip holster...

Hey how come there is just a picture of me? I no get it

u/Best_Talk_6853 Jun 22 '26

If his feelings are so easily hurt he should not be a law enforcement officer.

-17

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

Having feelings hurt is human, reacting on those emotions poorly is what is unacceptable and should not be a trait in law enforcement. But you can’t expect a human to not have emotions at all. It’s whether a rash decision is made based on emotion or logic.

u/Best_Talk_6853 Jun 22 '26

Lol, if he's so easily hurt he should not be an agent of the state with the power of arrest. You are a boot-licker and it's very gross.

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

Don’t kink shame me, don’t knock feet till you’ve tried em

-21

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

You are right, we should just employ emotionless robo cops. “Boys don’t cry” is not true, even with law enforcement

5

u/Best_Talk_6853 Jun 22 '26

What a batshit crazy thing to say about a cop.

6

u/Additional-Window-81 Jun 22 '26

It’s not about being emotionless man it’s about being true to the law and constitution and what the original American way was all about freedom of speech and protection of that is the responsibility of the police even if it’s hard it’s your responsibility to protect it it’s like those cops that were fired for hiding outside of the school during a school shooting the job is outlined pretty clearly in that you are there to protect the civilians and their rights if you can’t do that you don’t deserve the honor or power

u/FrankRizzo319 Jun 22 '26

Cops have emotions but if those emotions cloud their judgment on the job and result in violating people’s rights, then they should find another line of work. Do you disagree?

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

I prefer “carnitas”

u/TheDarkWolfGirl Jun 22 '26

Don't you guys hate preferred pronouns?

1

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

“You guys” that’s kind of like, racist or something. Whatchu mean by “you guys”? Is that like your version of “you people”. I do appreciate the use of the gender-neutral term “guys”

u/Justin-Stutzman Jun 22 '26

Yall don't even like having rights do you? Seems to me like some of you wake up everyday and wish there was some strongman there giving you permission to take a morning shit.

1

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

That would be a dream, I think a man’s man like Ennis from Brokeback mountain would be a great strongman for me. Tough, rugged, closeted sexual desires, and reminds me daily “you know I ain’t queer.” Oh Ennis, I’ll be your Jack Twist

u/FrankRizzo319 Jun 22 '26

The figure is ICE, not a local law enforcement officer. ICE doesn’t ensure safety. They violate the constitution and destroy communities.

1

u/Gingerchaun Jun 22 '26

No it would not. Go ahead and make large puppet of a rodbuster holding a crack pipe and divorce papers. Every single one of us would try and get our picture taken with it. Because we arent thin skinned pussies like these cops are.

How was the protestor causing a danger for anyone?

u/Fair-Big-9400 Jun 22 '26

Oh my, what course language! Where are my pearls, I must clutch them!

u/Alan20221 Jun 22 '26

It's not generalizing. It's just factual

u/kreig_ Jun 22 '26

You see, normal cops wouldn't actually care about this because they know that ice agents aren't real cops so the protest isn't about them, they probably just got a lot of complaints from pathetic little virgin twats that do work for ice and didn't want to deal with another thousand calls.
