Any thoughts on the secret police snatching Americans off the streets and disappearing them? Or mostly just mad about rioting?

Any thoughts on the secret police snatching Americans off the streets and disappearing them? Or mostly just mad about rioting?
- cwhiz 6y agoRead the article and dial back the absurd hyperbole.
- alexose 6y agoI wouldn't call it hyperbole. Men in fatigues, who decline to identify themselves as law enforcement, are grabbing protesters off the streets and putting them in unmarked minivans. There are videos of this. From the article: > On July 12 a peaceful protester was struck in the head with an “impact weapon” and sustained severe injuries, according to the AG’s office. On Thursday, it says, “an unmarked minivan with undercover federal agents wearing generic green military fatigues” forcibly detained a second protester, who was later released.
- kyleee 6y ago"decline to identify themselves as law enforcement" while wearing agency patches, and a patch that reads "police"?
- ciarannolan 6y agoCan you point to anything that says they're identifying which agency they're with via "agency patches"? That's not mentioned in the article. Also, having "police" on their uniforms is meaningless. If you want to know where they disappeared someone to, are you going to look up "police" in the phone book and give them a call? Give me a break.
- kyleee 6y agoi was talking more about the shoulder patches, but the video is too low res to make out the details of the patches
- cwhiz 6y agoThey’re wearing uniforms, arresting people suspected of crimes, and then releasing them. That is not even remotely similar to “secret police disappearing people.” Let’s be reasonable and honest about what is going on here.
- johnny22 6y agobut also be honest that it's not cool that they won't identify themselves or have badge numbers.
