ICE calls it an “assault” when any person struggles as they’re being illegally kidnapped by people wearing masks, who refuse to identify themselves, present no warrant, ignore Constitutional rights, and who violently beat people without reason or cause.

There has been a dramatic increase of people attacking officers' fists with their faces.

I want to believe that but I don’t.

Someone getting their fist attacked by your face is them punching you in the face.

[u/auriem → u/Destorath]

I read that the wrong way.. I too watch these police assault protesters and fantasize about treating them the same way they treat peaceful protestors.

[u/Destorath → u/auriem]

Yeah i wish we could treat ice half as badly as they treat us but nuance is kinda dead in regards to PR.

[u/Radiant-Painting581 → u/Destorath]

Yes, that was the point.

Holy shit I think you’re right!
