So what are the chances these dudes couldn't wear masks during covid cause it made it too hard to breath?
-
Looks like the mafia
-
Serious Watchmen vibes
-
Correction: 4 masked terrorists.
-
These are most likely members of the proud boys not ice.
-
Friendly reminder that it should be 100% illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and hide their identity.
We pay their salaries and they have ZERO accountability.
These are domestic terrorists.
-
Baton drawn, absolutely ready to start shit
-
Call swat on them.
"Hello police? There are armed masked men waiting next to a black unmarked van eyeballing women as they walk by. I'm afraid when I leave they are going to try to abduct someone.
No they aren't law enforcement"
If they don't get guns pointed at them then you will make 4 thugs waste most of their day and piss them off.
-
Walmart out of white hoods?
-
bro.... even bank robbers wear stuff better.
-
Why have no gun carrying Americans shot these fools yet?
Just dress the same way they do
Jeans, some walmart sweaters, shitty face masks and cheap baseball caps.
Come on America, you've got this.
-
Wearing civilian clothing to blend in but the mask gives them away… just put the ICE suit back on!
-
Yea these guys don't look like law enforcement. They gonna get shot if its my turn cause these look like bad guys just kidnapping fools.
-
Just judging by the cover, my guess is that this album sucks.
-
Out of curiosity, is anyone allowed to dress up like that? What if everyone just decided to wear masks, camo pants, and hats?
They clearly don't have to identify themselves - why should we?
-
"You see your honor, they were wearing ski masks, and I've been taught by Hollywood that a group of people wearing ski masks in the middle of the day with a black van means they are up to no good. So I took it to my own hands to shoot these motherfuckers down."
-
Has anyone actually confirmed that those guys are actually ICE? Because they look like I could pretend to be ICE and get away with it.
-
Well. If there's nothing identifying them as an arm of the state, it's legal to shoot them in self defense should they try to kidnap you. You can also say that the law doesn't matter anymore as the US government is flagrantly violating it but that also means that the law no longer has legitimacy as the government is breaking it's end of the social contract. Therefore, normal morality in the absence of law applies which says that self defense is legitimate.
-
Look how wide that dude's stance is. Fucking loser. What a bunch of big tough guys with masks. Show your faces, and be proud of your actions bitches.
Edit: It's giving:
-
If people that looked like this showed up at my door, they'd be looking down the barrel of a shotgun. These morons are going to get shot.
-
Scum and villainy
-
If these people approached me I would shoot.
-
It's 2025. America. You see these men on the street.
If you assume they are going to rob a bank dial 911.
If you assume they are going to lynch someone dial 911.
If you assume they are going to kidnap someone dial 911.
If you assume they are law enforcement then get your eyes checked. They aren't wearing any identifying uniform, no insignia, no badges.
If you assume they are impersonating law enforcement then dial 911 and get your eyes checked.
-
Definitely don’t call 911. That just gives them more backup. They look like terrorists in the streets. It’s actually illegal here to wear a mask over your face while demonstrating or armed so they are under stand your ground territory
-
If someone wearing a balaclava and civilian clothes grabs you, I'm pretty sure it's reasonable to stab them.
-
Easy there, boss. That depends heavily on what state you're in. And the ones that have "stand your ground" and "castle doctrine" are usually the ones where local police are openly coordinating with ICE.
-
If you stand your ground you still go to jail. Even if you are released you still got more inconvenienced than them.
As a white person I'm at minimal risk from them. But in order to stand your ground for another person they must have a legal right to be where they are. And if they are, in fact, not legally here, then bad things happen to you.
-
-
-
Maybe it was just casual Friday.
-
4chan summer camp
-
You can probably identify them by their ugly ass mall cop shoes
-
Everybody should always call the cops if they ever see this anywhere at anytime. That's insane.
-
This is actually the right move.
Literally find a payphone, pick it up, call 911 and say there's a group of dangerous looking masked individuals at (name of location), and I'm scared that it's not safe here.
Then immediately drop the phone and walk away. It seems rude but if you hang up or stop responding the correct action on the 911 operators side is to expect the worst and literally send everyone to that location, lights and sirens.
-
Why would the cops do anything?
-
-
They look like random Grand Theft Auto enemies that you wipe out by the dozen.
-
Appears brown shirts weren't in stock at Kohl's
-
They know what they’re doing is wrong. And outside the law
They know if they are identified they will be dealt with. Outside the law.
-
That's a lynching posse, and not a gathering of lawn enforcement officers.
-
That's exactly what this is, a new form of lynching. In a way, it's even worse than lynching. They may not be hanging them from a tree, but they are destroying the lives of entire families.
-
"Lawn enforcement officer" sounds like an analog for "assistant (to the) manager" in an Office clone about an HOA.
-
-
These guys look like they're about to rob a bank.
-
Its sad really. They think this makes them good Americans, and probably satisfies their personal insecurities. You can tell by their stance they feel pretty powerful, but they look like clowns, and hiding their face makes it pretty empty, like kids playing sheriff.
-
Nah, I imagine bank robbers as classy. These thugs look like the "gang members" they're so desperately scared of. They look like they're hiding weapons in their pockets to cause public terror. They look like they're about to jump me for being in their territory and mug me of all my belongings. They make me feel like I should avoid walking down whatever street they're holding up.
These are straight up criminals, looking like they're about to commit crime.
-
Those masks and them carrying weapons is an automatic felony in my jurisdiction and any shop owner pleading stand your ground would be praised by the community. They don’t like immigrants here, but they hate the federal government even more.
-
You seem to be thinking of 1930s bank robbers like John Dillinger. I was thinking more along the lines of 1990s bank robbers, like the North Hollywood Shootout guys.
-
-
-
Lets have another peaceful protest, it will work this time.
-
No badges, no name tags, no exposed faces… let’s see “ ICE “ try this in a state with strong self defense laws.
-
They are literally going around like this in every state and have detained at 51,000 people publicly on the record.
See them Try? They already Do.
Don't believe what you want that they just haven't been to the right place to get stopped. -
Don't forget, the State decides if it's self-defense or not, and Self-Defense states tend to be Red. Florida has some of the "strongest" Self-Defense laws, and the State would side with these goons every time.
-
While that doesn’t surprise me, I don’t think I’ve heard/seen/read about “ICE” getting guns drawn on by people they try to kidnap.
I carry, with a permit, and I regularly practice & train. I don’t wake up bloodthirsty but if masked dudes approach me and I don’t see badges/names/police ID, you bet I’m drawing on them, and if they attempt to lay hands on me I’m firing. I will most likely be persecuted and found guilty but I’ll at least say I did something on record against the gestapo and maybe set a precedent?
-
-
-
Take the mask off “patriot”
-
neo nazisss
-
Not even remotely hyperbolic here, I 100% would assume they’re randos gang members or doing criminality attempting to kidnap then murder me, and I’d fight back accordingly. Not even a badge on a neck chain or belt clip jfc covered head to toe
Just the same as if a mugging becomes “get into the van” no you fucking shouldn’t because their goals are now no longer your property, but now your life
-
Never let the assailant take you to the secondary location.
Urban self defense classes have been teaching this since the 1970s, at least.
-
The secondary location these days is in El Salvador.
-
-
This is what random crimes taking place look like in Spiderman
-
-
These are criminals. There's nothing to indicate that they are any type of law enforcement.
-
I don't know how self defense laws function over there. But surely if someone dressed like that approaches you, you are free to shoot them/defend yourself right? Surely wearing a balaclava shows bad intentions accordingly to the law?
-
they are terrorists, any common sense judicial system would consider it legal to shoot them in self defense
-
Reminds me of the SS in many ways
-
-
No badges, no uniforms, driving unmarked vehicles and wearing masks? Those are obviously kidnappers, Your Honor.
-
"That's why my client acted reasonably and dare I say heroically, when they saw these masked men dragging the witness into an unmarked vehicle, drew their legally carried sidearm, and engaged these individuals until they were no longer a threat."
Why hasn't this happened yet?!
This country should never be safe for predators who want to throw people into vans.
-
were obviously kidnappers, your honor, is what my client meant to say.
-
-
Looks like one of those nazi rallies. They're all white too. Lmao its so obvious.
-
Strangely a lot of the more official looking ICE guys appear to be Hispanic or Latino. The ones that wear the vests and brown shirts anyhow.
-
-
There is absolutely no proof that these people are ICE, or any other agents of the state. Do not assume masked strangers throwing people in vehicles are law enforcement. Especially if they don't identify themselves.
We all need to stop making this assumption, and to start encouraging others to also not make this assumption.
-
My favorite so far is the people who follow these fuckers around with megaphones and broadcast the rights people have when dealing with ICE, numbers of local lawyers and advocates, and other instructions to help people either avoid the interaction or at least have a fighting chance to due process if they are detained.
-
What would be better is if, when people were being kidnapped by these brownshirts-at-home, the bystanders started beating these kidnappers to a bloody, gelatinous pulp. That way, the street sweepers could come and gently push their mouldering viscera where they belong: the gutter.
Remember: there is no evidence that these people have the force of law behind them. Citizens should not allow others to be kidnapped in broad daylight.
-
Absolutely. They should be afraid to get out of their van. They should be treated as if they are wearing a Nazi uniform.
-
-
I get what you mean. But, materially, there is not much of a difference. You should absolutely do everything in your power to stop or resist them.
They are Nazis with a badge or Nazis without a badge. That badge doesn't change what should be done to them by anyone that sees them. They should not feel safe getting out of their van. There are more of us. Get organized and be ready to be that 2nd or 3rd or 4th random stranger that is brave enough to standup to them.
Nazi's aren't brave. They are wimpy little losers. That's why they are Nazis. Don't let them feel safe anywhere they go.
-
The problem is, it's plausible they are ice, and in the US hoodlums gathering near a van before pulling a heist are rarer than unmarked ICE guys waiting to acquire a target, so if this isn't a movie set, they're most likely ICE.
-
are you implying anyone was making this assumption? any group of thugs could pretend to be ICE this way
-
The OP seems to be
-
-
-
Just being honest. If someone in mask comes to my car, I'm pulling away. If you are caught by a wheel, then it's on you. Identify who you are.
-
-
Not in florida but I will hit you if you run up on me. I assume it is a car jacking.
-
-
They wouldn't hide their face if what they were doing wasn't shameful
-
-
Looks like four domestic terrorists.
-
That's because they are.
-
-
Fucking fascists
-
I can’t help but think of this “Straight Man Fashion” video when I see this picture. https://youtube.com/shorts/80w3SyCai2o
-
Wait, that's how they're actually dressed? They just look like random people. The fact that they don't get shot more speaks a lot about how well behaved the people they are kidnapping are.
-
They don't get shot because guns are for mass-shootings.
Haven't read a single story where a gun was used against the tyrannical government / cops.
Mostly because you can't "self-defence" agaist the police in the US. You will always be shot to death on the spot.
-
They're also going after the population that are probably the unlikeliest to own firearms. That being said, if you're brown and not carrying a firearm and your "papers", you should probably change your habits. Fuck me, it's disgusting that this is the case in America.
-
dont you guys have an amendment that allows you to shoot such militia?
for self defense against a rogue state and shit?
-
That was written when the people and the government had access to the same level of firepower.
-
-
They'd blend in a lot better if they didn't look like old western bandits about to rob a train with those masks.
Cowards. All of them. I hope they all get doxxed.
-
https://icelist.info/
Got this from another lemmy user.
-
-
Suede denim secret police.
Jello called it, decades ago.
-
Send this to your MAGA relatives with the caption "these guys good or bad?" and no additional context.
-
Seem to be all white, obviously good
-
-
They wear masks for the same reason the Klansmen wore masks.
-
How does anyone know they're ICE? what if six guys in masks showed up and threw these guys in an unmarked van and says THEY'RE ICE?
-
They aren't ICE. There's not enough ICE agents for the job. At BEST, they are bounty hunters deputized by ICE and given $1k for each brown person they bring in.
-
You're right. And if you feel threatened, you could just shoot them. "Had no idea they were cops. They hid their faces like gang members."
-
If they were just bounty hunters, with no ID or uniforms, and somebody stopped them, I doubt any judge would allow a case to go forward. There is no law that says citizens have to cooperate with violent, unidentified strangers.
-
Some put "MS 13" in power point text boxes on their shirts already.
-
-
-
how does no one shoot them
-
ironically, a proper self defence reaction to a gang of masked armed thugs who try to kidnap minorities.
-
All the American "patriots" who spent their whole lives loudly insisting they'd do anything for their country ended up being cowardly garbage.
"Wait, you mean I'd have to put myself at RISK? That’s not easy, it’s actually really hard! Never mind that I’ve built my whole cultural identity on doing great things against great odds- how dare you suggest I do something hard? You’re a keyboard warrior!”
To them, historical revolutionaries and national heroes are just Disney characters without families, jobs, or dreams who never actually had anything to lose and whose victories were guaranteed.
-
-
A handy guide to America:
Wearing a mask to prevent the spread of infection during a global pandemic? It's an excuse to hide your face, you literally cannot breate through it, and it's a symbol of leftist fascism.
Wearing a mask literally to hide your identity so you can physically accost and abduct anyone under the pretense of 'immigration authority' with zero need for due process so there are no repercussions when you are wrong? That's protecting your country.
-
i am willing to bet that before the year is over, there will be people who cut mouth holes out of these types of masks to make it clear that they aren't wearing masks for public health reasons
-
-
I am curious to see how many incidentscome out where there are of ACTUAL kidnappings that happen because some geniuses get the idea to just go grab some people and throw them in a van while dressing up like these ICE idiots.
You want to give gangs a free pass to grab random people or rivals off the street? Make your "official govt activity" look like gang activity.
-
Literally just last week in Philadelphia, guy tried to kidnap a woman and rob the business she worked at.
And then there is all these ones.
We have absolutely set it up so criminals and bastards have a template to follow to hurt others as they want. No rules anymore in America unless it's about rising up against the lack of rules.
-
It may already be happening in immigrant communities. What are their families going to do - report it to the cops?
-
Perfect way to enable fascist militias to conduct a purge.
-
-
People should call and report suspicious armed men about to rob or do something nefarious. Get the locals all twisted up with reports. Get them scared then sick them on the federallies.
-
Someone should dress up like ICE themselves, and disappear people like this. When they insist they're citizens, just call their documents fake and usher them into waiting vans at gunpoint. That's the only way this madness will end. It's only when the lives of ICE agents themselves are at risk from this that thing have a hope of changing.
-
-
Photoshop some darker skin on them and post them on some conservative site and see the difference in reactions.
-
*Allegedly ICE
Those could totally just be plain old kidnappers
-
Yeah, that's what "ICE" is.
-
-
This looks like they just rounded up a bunch of proud boyz, put masks on them, gave them a van and told them to go harass immigrant children.
-
I mean... That's pretty much what they did.
-
“Looks like”
-
Because it is the thing.
-
-
Do you work in ICE Human Resources? How do you know their recruiting process so well? Trump is going to get mad that you divulged his secret super stable genius hiring process.
-
I mean it really does look that way.....is there something about being a fascist that just fucks up your posture? All these guys and the tiki torch bros always end up having the same posture as those three little aliens from MIB.
I wonder if it's that the only thing that can lure them from constantly shit posting on 4chan is the opportunity to engage in state sanctioned hate crimes?
-
yea their posture was indeed what made me think that way initially
-
-
-
It would be a real shame if people started dousing these fascist fucks with bright red hair dye so that they can be identified after they remove their fucking fash masks.
-
There are some pepper sprays that are mixed with red difficult-to-remove dye for the purpose of identifying those involved in an incident.
Legal in California!
-
Oo gimme link. I want
-
-
Glitter.
-
Their wives would be so mad!
"Glitter!? Again? How many times have I told you I to stay out of that strip joint? I hope you like the couch, that's where you'll be sleeping for a while!"
-
-
Or something more flammable, perhaps
-
-
Pretty sure those are just traffickers.
-
Legal Modern Mafia.
-
-
Looks like a group of shady men wearing masks intended to hide their faces around an unmarked van threatening civilians with weapons to me. Call the police, maybe hyperbolize it a bit. Make them either abandon their spot or waste their time justifying their existence to the police instead of whatever bullshit they're there to do.
-
Looks like a bunch of fascists committing state-sanctioned domestic terrorism.
-
This is the correct answer.
-
-
Are you sure it's not a group of protestors? Because then covering your face is illegal in some places now. Better call the cops to get those protestors back to the free speech zone.
BUT THIS IS STILL A TOTALLY NORMAL AND FINE DEMOCRACY, RIGHT CONSERVATIVES?
-
-
that’s actually a mob of criminals. you see these dbags you need to call 911, especially if you are not an immigrant.
-
Call in a potential bank robbery
-
Looks like a violent riot to me.
-
The reality is they are consistently informing local police that they are "conducting business in the area" and are plain clothes.
-
for sure. make no mistake - the point of the call is not to get police help it’s to be a pain in the ass. It’s “agitprop”
-
-
-
Given what is currently happening in the US, I cannot help but ask myself: Does the police still respond when emergency calls come in reporting that several armed and masked men are dragging people into a van and kidnapping them?
That's a genuine question, and I don't know the answer. But hey, I don't know the answer to the question of how all this can be possible in a constitutional state either.
-
In this situation, it can't be just one person. Several people need to call 911 with plate numbers and general descriptions.
"A bunch of people in masks waiting outside the court house. I think they have guns!"
If ICE has done their due diligence, they would have notified law enforcement that they are there in plain clothes. But methinks that these cosplayers wouldn't think to do that.
-
If you really want to be an inconvenience, DON'T give them the plate numbers. Those will almost certainly come back to some entity or person that will clue the dispatchers in on them being government owned.
-
-
Call 911
-
why would you call backup for ICE thugs?
-
Pretty sure they would get hit with a fire truck or a ambulance
-
-
-
They are terrorists.
-
Omg, they can't breathe, they are inhaling their own CO2 & toxic bacteria, they are probably dead already!!
-
Brain dead? Dead inside? Soulless? Checks out.
-
Good
-
-
No reasononable person would believe these are police. Not guilty.
-
Masked, no badge. That's a good way to get yourself shot.
-
Hopefully.
-
-
This is nightmare fuel
-
12 gauge slugs is the answer here.
-
can't wait for them to be gunned down in self defense.
it will be so strange, they will be gunned down in the middle of a busy street with countless passerbys, but somehow there will be no witnesses
-
Any day now right?
-
we could use some good news,
-
-
Finally.. A socially acceptable place for my dog to take a dump when I'm out walking him
-
no need to bring a dog, you can bury them in your own excrement
-
-
-
There's bound to actually be free candy in one of those damn unmarked vans.
-
Is that like Murphy's razor?
Anything that can be true is likely to be true at least once, and at the worst possible moment?
-
Just bad advice we give all middle schoolers. If at first you don't succeed, try try again.
-
-
-
Cowards. Fucking cowardly bullies with their truncheons.
And if the dude on the right wouldn't go down and stay down with one shove to the chest, I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.
-
Yeah, I'm looking at these guys in their loose flannel, and thinking I got all sorts of stuff to grab onto and throw these skinny little punks around. I could slam that guy on the right against his car at least three times before he even realizes he's getting the shit kicked out of him. Losers.
-
Blue Jeans and Gray Hoodie at least have seen the bottom side of a barbell...
-
-
-
Americans have tons of guns, why not use them against these fascist cunts? They’re not police, they refuse to identify themselves, they wear masks to not be identified, the kidnap men, women and children, it really doesn’t matter to them. They’re also racist because of racial profiling and they’ll send you off to a prison in El Salvador.
Theres probably a lot more they do, but the list above should be more than enough to arm yourselves against them.
-
They don't look like law enforcement, you should probably open fire if they try and get onto your property.
-
Anybody else dressed like that in the street would be arrested.
-
If these unidentifiable people tried to arrest you would you not be within your right to defend yourself with force?
Could you also not get a bunch of mates dress the same and disrupt all of their raids by claiming you’re the real ICE and they are just a group of random strangers
-
If the law actually applied equally to everyone, both citizens and government thugs? Absolutely.
But we all know that's not how it works on the street or in the courts.
-
The first time, yeah, I get you. If it happened a lot, though. They’d change their MO. Maybe wear some stylish Hugo Boss designed uniforms.
-
-
-
Everyone should start wearing facemasks.
-
Oh man! This should be the strategy. Have a mib of ppl all show up dressed like this. They won't know who's who.
-
Like the Spider-Man meme.
-
-
If you saw this on the street wouldn't you call the cops? I fucking would. From somewhere on the far side of the van, well out of their line of sight.
-
Flannel is the new brownshirt.
-
Please no. I like my flannel.
-
If ICE does to flannel what Hitler did to his mustache, I'm going to be livid.
-
There goes my entire winter wear.
-
-
I would call it into 911 and report suspicious activity
-
If they are this obvious, I'd see if I could get a flash mob of civilians with phone cameras.
Either they move, or if action goes down, there's going to be a big protest soon.
Also we'll know who they took.
-
-
Why do they look like that?
-
Because USA! USA! USA!
-
-
I'm pretty sure, in some states, You can shoot people looking like that.
-
I actually just looked it up. In certain states, this falls under the "Stand Your Ground" law.
Defense of Others: State law permits the use of force, including deadly force, to defend another person. Non-deadly force is justified when a person reasonably believes it is necessary to protect someone from imminent unlawful force. Deadly force is justified to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm, or a "forcible felony" to the other person. Examples of forcible felonies include murder, robbery, and aggravated assault.
Immunity from Prosecution: A key feature of the Stand Your Ground law is potential immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits if the use of force is found to be legally justified. A defendant can request a pretrial hearing to determine if their actions were justified, potentially leading to dismissal of the case. The prosecution must provide clear and convincing evidence that the force was not justified.
Important Considerations: The force used must be proportional to the threat. Stand Your Ground does not apply if the person was engaged in unlawful activity or provoked the attack. Immunity also generally does not apply when using force against a law enforcement officer performing their duties.
Meaning if you see a bunch of masked men trying to abduct someone and they aren't identifying themselves as law enforcement, you can legally shoot them to defend the person being assaulted. You would also be immune from criminal prosecution for doing so.
You'd better be a great shot though. And you'd probably get killed. At minimum for sure you're getting arrested (and probably disappeared). But you are legally in the clear. And the news would be ALL over it. I'd like the TACO administration compete against Republican-state laws.
-
If you're serious, you're wrong. But most people won't stop you.
-
-
So if we just started surrounding and fucking them up, is that still assault on an officer, or just good old fashion assault? Asking for a friend.
-
Pathetic. Take off your masks, pussies. I wanna see the faces of the people who kidnap my friends.
-
All I see are a couple of MS13 members about to perform a kidnapping, better alert SWAT!
-
The call is coming from inside the country.
-
-
It's a really awkward time for a white male to be driving an unmarked van right now. Sympathy to all my van life homies
-
This is their sign to paint a sweet ass mural on the side, like the cool people vans of yore.
Unmarked vans are for losers and terrorists, we're about bitchin' space horses and such these days.
(Sort of joking?)
-
That kind of van looks so sketchy it might as well have "free candy" written on the side, so I don't know if there ever was a not awkward time for a white male to be driving one.
-
-
What is Blue Flannel McWidestance holding? A hammer? Pry bar? Cattle prod? What the fuck?
-
It looks like an extendable baton, for breaking glass or beating innocent people.
-
Is it like straight fucking metal?!
-
-
-
But this is America, always has been
-
How have none of these guys gotten shot yet?
-
These pussies get violent in courthouses and kindergartens.
-
-
Pfft, that's target practice
-
a picture is worth a thousand words. except staged ones like the twumph ear incident.
-
But for real, why is all of this so shitty looking?
Every fascist state I can think of gave (relatively to the states wealth) a lot on paramilitary troops uniform image.
Even mafia or mere street gangs know they have to invest in some style.
USA should try like a foreign-exchange-presidents or something, then after a 6 month semester, boom - ICE gets designers threads, the troops can march, and all the Signal messaging is in Korean.
(Im not sarcastic about the question - why don't the ICE agents need to look "cool" & distinguished? Are they just some sort of in-between militia? Or is that actually all that & I just don't recognise it? They dress like poor students applying for their summer office job.)
-
Orange has done plenty of field trips to fascist states. He's clearly been inspired but it's still work-in-progress
-
Two reasons. One, the fascists are shitty at their jobs. Like, genuinely shitty. The efficiency of fascism in general is nothing but propaganda, but the people in charge are pure, privileged, nowhere-to-fail-but-up, idiots.
Two, they're in a rush. You're absolutely correct - they're an in-between militia. The uniformity will come if they're given time to dig in their position, but right now, they are desperately expanding and solidifying their hold on the nation.
Their power is an illusion. They don't have the training, supplies, or leadership in place to actually control the country by force right now, so they're just throwing whatever they have out there to overwhelm the innocent while they work on dismantling the bureaucracy and redirecting our military and local LEO capabilities toward domestic oppression.
-
Lemmy needs a new community: Cops or Criminals? Just pictures of thugs in SUVs & you have to guess whether they're a cartel hit squad or ICE.
-
Criminal Cops or Criminals*
-
So that people will learn which ones they can safely approach.
-
-
-
they look like the guys you'd fight in Marvel's Spider-Man
-
How can anyone look at these people and say “they’re the good guys?” MAGA is insane and dangerous.
-
Fascism on the street level.
-
These people are the new brown shirts
-
-
Fucking cowards
-
Unmask and dox all these pathetic cowardly racist motherfuckers.
-
It would be interesting to follow them. Find out where they live or where they go in their off time. Then call the ICE on them.
-
-
New season of the handmaiden’s tale just dropped?
-
Lookin' like a group of pedos handing out "free candy."
-
Pedophiles and hebephiles are probably having a field day with this new immigration policy. Apparently you can just snatch people off the street while saying the magic words "I'm with law enforcement" and no consequences will come of it.
Would not be surprised to learn down the road that dozens of people have been kidnapped and are being held somewhere other than an El Salvadorian gulag having who knows what done to them.
-
-
They couldn't possibly look more "police officer in plain clothes" if they tried. Generic flannel shirt, generic blue jeans, generic black shoes, a cap, etc.
-
PUBG-Look
-
-
And no one seems to do anything about it.
It's soooo easy to kidnap people in the US right now. Human trafficking rings never had it so easy.
-
They look like criminals with zero indication as to any authority. Not uniforms, no badges.
This nation needs to make it physically unsafe to be in such a state.
If those were medical masks it would be different: my buddy’s wife is immune compromised so he wears a mask when out and about as do I when we’re together. That ain’t this.
-
Cowards! If they truly believe what they're doing is right and lawful, why do they need to be so covered up?
-
Doing the right thing isnt always safe... Dont get me wrong, this antiimmigration thing is disgusting, but them covering up is not a good indicator of shittiness.
-
Then cover your face, people have families, I get it. But you better be wearing a badge or something identifying you as who you are. Because as far as the general public is concerned, this is just a photo of four kidnappers waiting in public.
-
It is though. It’s not like they’re brave undercover heroes going into cartel territory, trying to protect their families from retaliation. These are in general population hiding their faces because they know what they’re doing is illegal, unethical, and would be shamed by pretty much everyone. They’re are trying to escape charges. They are criminals
-
In this context it is not only 100% a direct indicator of shittiness but also one of doing the wrong thing.
-
It is when they're acting as a police force.
-
-
-
All I see are terrorists.

Some de-icing is in order
-
We should play a game, cartel or cop!?

Man, those little bottles of water for each just got me, guess they get pretty parched being thuggy and masked! Wish I could see them try and drink from them with those masks on.
-
-
Fucking scum.
-
We used to have a word for people like this, what was it again, Ohh yeah, pussies.
-
ICE is a perfect name for these cold individuals
-
Six feet under, I hope.
-
-
Two of them appear to be wearing sneakers with unprotected toes lol
-
How can you tell they're ICE? What if these are crafty immigrants pretending? What if another group of masked men showed up and put them in zip ties and threw them in a unmarked van? How could anyone know?
-
How do these guys not get shot more often? They look like regular dudes kidnapping someone. Well, I guess that's what it is, but serious, this baffles me.
-
What if everyone started to dress exactly like that? Try and arrest someone then motherfuckers! Real life Spiderman meme ensues.
-
Someone should meme this up as a bunch of dudes about to get jumped by Spiderman.
-
If I see this, I fully plan on asking them for their identification, if they refuse I'll call the police on them. Masked armed men menacingly hanging out wherever they are.
-
Armed gunmen with mask are famous for not politely waiting for you to finish a phone call before putting you in a death camp or gunning you down.
-
This is an excellent point, but if somebody doesn't stand up, it'll never get better. I'm a born citizen, and white dude, statistically I have a better chance than someone else. I saw CA is trying to pass a law not allowing these officers to wear masks. While they'll likely ignore it at first, simply record and call the police. Eventually they'll stop. Once they're exposed and can face consequences, most of the atrocious behavior will stop.
-
-
-
No uniform, just random street clothes. I'm glad I don't live in the USA. The assumption here is they are criminals and threatening my life
-
Walk up and join them. Wear a balaclava, carry a canvas bag with dollar signs on it. Caution: This plan may backfire if you're not white.
-
That would be a video I would click.
-
-
Fucking pussies.
-
Isn't there a particular Nazi paramilitary that dresses up exactly like that? Those guys that were on a U Haul?
-
Patriot Front or whatever. Yeah, they look just as, if not even more dorky.
-
-
They totally don't look like a mafia
-
I hope they keep up the masks and flannel and all that other heavy shit through the summer heatwaves we got coming up. They’ll need each other because I doubt anyone will help keep them cool
-
Those are a bunch of violent far right kidnapping terrorists. Treat them as such.
-
It would be a shame if people started throwing eggs at them, a real shame.
-
Someone needs to walk by with the Vanilla Ice "Ice Ice Baby" song playing.
-
Slash their tires
-
Crips to the Cops' Bloods.
-
No ceramic plates...
-
Thugs
-
Optics and suppressors, line these delusional useless eaters up!
-
Terrorism be like:
-
Why do they look like teenagers? Sad the youth is so susceptible to brainwashing
-
"Hellooo, fellow teenagers!"
-
-
-
How can we prosecute the fascists if we don't know who they are?
-
Since when is terrorism a job?
-
-
Uncanny how the collectivist's mental dissonance shows through the cracks:
Cops are pigs
And they all should be dead
And all of them are bad
Unless I need them
To protect me from the state
The one I wish to give more and more power everytime over me
Lol
Lmao even
-
Imagine ridiculing people because they expect cops to do their actual jobs, and protect and serve the citizens.
-
How dare people demand the police do their fucking job, right?
Fuck you.
