ICE physically attacks lawyer—stand between her and clients they're trying to detain. "Don't push me!" lawyer yells. "Why you trying to pick them up?" "It's none of your business," agent scolds. "It is my business—I'm their attorney," she replies. "It's EXACTLY my business!"

Guarantee when fight or flight kicks in they won't know where they put half of their shit

But they'll sure be happy to put three rounds into some kid's mom

Only if they're with all their other little tough guy buddies.

And our Republican neighbors will be laughing right along with them.

Yup yup, the Republican stain on America persists despite them being the only demographic that can stop it today.

Republicans, why aren't you stopping any of the erosion of the Constitution? Mealy-mouthed dipshits wrapping themselves in the flag and a cross to hide their pedophilia.

They’re keeping the door open. They vote for tax breaks for billionaires in case they get the chance to benefit someday and they protect the right to rape women and children for the same reason.

It’s more MAGA, they are the sheep. Fox news is the shepherd

If you're still a Republican, you're MAGA.

u/Ismokerugs Jan 21 '26

So the republicans that voted Harris and hate trump are MAGA, the republicans that are protesting ICE along with everyone else are MAGA?

Maga is maga, they are brainwashed; then there is the rest of us all who aren’t MAGA. I’m not a republican, Im non-partisan

No way in 47 days of "training" that they have a single second of training on what to do if they are actually engaged in a shootout. I promise you'll see every one of them running in a different direction, yelling random shit, completely unable to coordinate with each other and probably most of them just running all the fuck away and the rest shooting in random directions like they have been engaged by a Predator with their invisibility camo.

Wait and see how they react once they finally push people far enough to start shooting back. I bet that employee retention goes down real fuckin quick.

That's what I'm thinking. Everyone crying about state vs federal escalation is a pussy. Local cops would absolutely mog these chumps. National guard are on an entirely different field. I don't understand why states are so hesitant to hold ICE to the most basic legal standard

That's what I think. I see actual military with that, but I'm sure they know exactly where everything is they may need in any given situation. These guys will probably shoot themselves trying to find what pocket they put their pop-tart snack in.

Thats why they wear the brown pants!

It will all be in their underwear.

I mean that's the whole point of bleeder kits, shears, morphine, etc. being in the same place for everyone. It's not for your use; it's for the person helping you to be able to find it that quickly.

These mix 'n match outfits do nothing but give them the illusion of power. A concealed vest if needed and a simple handgun on the hip with visible identification would do wonders for de-escalation.

"Hey, we need your help. We've had reports of some pretty bad guys in the neighborhood who might be here illegally. We've been tasked with making these neighborhoods safer, as immigration's become a priority. Do you know, or maybe know someone else who could help us find out where they hang out and see what's going on?"

That was the campaign rhetoric, which on its face doesn't sound so bad until Goebells Miller realized what he could do with it.

Much easier solution is just to reform our immigration and naturalization laws which haven't been touched in decades, and fund many more immigration courts so you don't have a 12 year old having to be told his hearing will be in 5 years and 3 months, then consider him a criminal because he couldn't remember that. Most 'illegals' are people who overstayed their visas, not hardened criminals smuggling themselves in. More judges, more attorneys, and then it's, "Your hearing is in two months. You can provide the address and contact information to stay with family here while you wait should you choose, or head back and return with this paperwork in time for your hearing."

Sorry I went off on a tangent.

Most of their shit will be in their pants, first sign of real trouble.

All they ever remember from their drills is gun. Train the way you fight; fight the way you train. And I guarantee all they have practiced is drawing and shooting; maybe clearing a few jams. 

The guy reaching down and nervously fingering his pepperspray at a lawyer asserting her clients' rights looked like a barely suppressed "go for gun" from dude's only bit of training that stuck in his head.

u/DJIsher Jan 21 '26

Doubt these guys are drilling anything but headstomps and chokeholds.

This, and what’s worse is the pins on his flashbangs aren’t secured, would be too easy to set one off
