Propaganda switches off people’s knowledge about the world.
“ICE detains people without warrants! This is illegal and unprecedented!”
We’ve all seen about a trillion police shows where representatives of every possible enforcement agency constantly arrest people without warrants. The police observe somebody committing a crime. Do they stop and send for a warrant while the suspect escapes? Of course, not.
“ICE agents mask their appearance! This is illegal and unprecedented!”
Plainclothes police mask their appearance. Undercover officers change their look. It’s completely legal for police to lie to suspects. We know all this. But it says on TV that this is unprecedented and illegal, and that erases everything we’ve known until now.
“Nobody is obligated to step out of their vehicle if stopped by law enforcement!”
Dude, do you drive? Have you ever been stopped? Or observed anybody being stopped? Have you troubled yourself to find out what you are supposed to be doing in this situation? If you managed to be a driver for a few years, I assume you figured it out.
Repeating these propagandistic inventions is dangerous because people end up believing them and put themselves in danger unnecessarily. Don’t attack officers. Don’t try to flee if you are getting detained. Even if you are completely innocent, becoming belligerent and trying to escape is not the way to go about it.
The people on TV who are peddling these lies aren’t putting themselves at risk. They put you at risk because that generates stories and they make money from the stories. They are selling your risk for profit. Have you heard of risk society? Externalizing risk and privatizing the profit is one of its top strategies. Some people play this game very intelligently at the expense of those who don’t know there is a game.

I completely agree that people shouldn’t flee from police, interfere with officers, or put themselves, or others, in harm’s way. Those actions can escalate a situation in ways that benefit no one. At the same time, it’s important to recognize that these behaviors, even when wrong, don’t justify the use of deadly force. We can hold both truths at once: individuals should act responsibly, and those with authority must be held to a higher standard in how they exercise power.

I was responding to the commenter who said that there can be no arrests without a warrant. I’m still reeling from that comment

–in FL, the journalists would have been legally OK to just run them over. But of course this would never happen in FL. They only pull this crap in places where they know the judiciary will cover for them.

These are people who have been wailing for days about how they just don’t like bullies. I can bring dozens of tweets about them not liking bullies but zero tweets about them condemning these bullies.

If only.
It’s a pretty sweet magic trick, though, where if you self-identify *as* or even *with* victims, then you are incapable of bullying and you can do whatever the hell you want and still not be a bully.

Note: I would love to see footage of how the metal burn barrels are getting to the “protest” locations. That and frozen water bottles seem to be this year’s version of pallets of bricks. Somebody is supplying them: those don’t just grow out of the pavement.

Speaking of all this nonsense. I saw a podcast video last night of an independent journalist, (it might have been that nick sorter fellow) that was done last Friday night I think in Minneapolis Minnesota.
What was worth mentioning about this wasn’t the stalkers or those demanding to know where his car was, nor even those calling him a fascist and shouting for him to leave.
No what’s worth mentioning is the 911 calls he made. He had security with him which is likely the only reason he left walking rather than feet first. He was in downtown and called 911 to have an officer dispatched to help his party escape the mob.
There was two or three calls made. The first asked if he was a local, then started asking where his car was, and flat out refused to send any officers. When he asked why, she hung the phone up on him.
The second call went roughly the same way with it being hung up again. Non of them were willing to dispatch the police, to the middle of downtown one of the largest cities in the State of Minnesota. Heck they were downright hostile to him just before hanging up.
Leftist hellholes are called that for a reason. Inside the law does not necessarily get enforced in both directions.

IIRC in one of those calls the dispatcher asked him if he was white.

I think he was reporting from the protest, gathering, whatever of that woman who got shot for trying to run the ICE agent over. I should also mention that some of the filth coming from the speaker at the event’s mouth was quite wild.
If I remember correctly some of the highlights were. We need to start bringing guns to shoot the ICE agents with. and my personal favorite when he stated that with her death she earned the highest badge of honor a white woman could. A Race Traitor. His words by the way. The guy was a loon. She was an idiot and certainly a traitor to America, but she was not a race traitor by the definition of it.
Anyway like I said there was a bunch of really wild stuff spewed out in that whatever it was. Up to and including chanting protests in Spanish, which the pod-caster did mention was odd seeing as this was MN and its overrun with Somalis, not Mexicans.

Not in my state. But there’s that background anxiety: are we one governor election away from this? This could’ve been us, if they had frauded the DeSantis/Gillum election *just* a little bit more. Patronis might be able to keep us on track, but IMO he probably has even less “screen appeal” than Ron.
