>I completely support the right to peaceful protest.
No you don't. Or at least defending ICE brutalizing them is a very contradictory way of showing that.
> But I draw the line when protesters fail to obey lawful orders
The "lawful" order of "we have arbitrarily declared this protest is an unlawful gathering, disperse or we will throw you in a cage"
> In those cases, I can understand how things escalate and ice agents lawfully use force to arrest the perpetrators.
You've been given several cases of ICE agents using force to arrest people who did none of those things. You defended it.
>Honestly, I think when protesters get out of line it acts like a recruiting ad for people neither of us want in law enforcement.
I think the $50k signup bonus, every administration officials twitter and their recruitment ads did that, not the peaceful protests you believe should be thrown in a cage for arbitrary things such as "they made the agents frustrated"
> When the protests begin to frustrate officers, the officers are going to understandably push back.
"Frustrated" = angry that a peaceful protest is happening and that people are daring to not be quiet
"push back" = violate the constitution and throw the peaceful protestors who did committed no crime in cages
- burnt-resistor 1y agoRobby Roadsteamer was roughly and illegally detained/arrested by ICE while peacefully and nonviolently protesting on public property. He's got a good case for a 1983 lawsuit for unlawful detainment and violently preventing protected speech and lawful assembly.
- wtfwhateven 1y agoYep. I recently saw a video of ICE agents crashing into a commuter's car, pulling the crash victim out of the car, slamming her to the ground in a fit of rage and kidnapping her. Still can't find any update about what happened to her. ICE agents routinely lie (even under oath) to get people wrongly convicted of crimes they did not commit. https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/legal/sidney-reid-trial-not-guilty-fbi-agent-ice-arrest-assault-charge-dc-jail/65-fa3b180e-e72f-43d2-ad36-bbcc91fad9d0 https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/legal/sidney-reid-trial-n... There's many dozens of examples of this stuff happening but anyone asking for proof of this happening always demand more and more, refuse to acknowledge any prior abuse or outright defend it. They're functionally mouthpieces of the state.
