Those fucking goons really hate their own citizenry (and all things outside the bad old usa).
That cop’s grave should become a public restroom, preferably soon
Who are those pigs? Names, we want names. Make their kids embarrassed to go to school, make their wives embarrassed to go to church.
Fucking asshole gets in the dude’s face and then tells him to back up. Fascist.
Yeah, the shove was more obnoxious than the candle kick in my opinion. Big tough guy wearing body armor, with a retinue of backup, knowing full well he’s completely safe from any retaliation, shoves unarmed citizen. Looked like assault to me. If baja jacket shoved him just as hard he’d be arrested at best.
They were probably trying to provoke him so they would have a reason to arrest him.
Cops shouldn’t be allowed to touch civilians unless they have a reason to make an arrest.
Like if the only charge is “resisting arrest”… Why the fuck were they trying to make an arrest in the first place?
But they’re professionals at making up bs charges. “Trespassing” in public… “Disorderly conduct” is somewhat of a catch-all…
Fun fact, everyone resists arrest, when a person gets grabbed by someone they try to escape or fight back. It is fucking hard wired into us, it’s called fight or flight. Resisting arrest is completely made up. People with fight or flight response problems, like someone with PTSD, walk around all day long praying some fucking dumb ass cop doesn’t grab them for no reason. This is what causes humans to fight like a caged animal.
Yup, they deliberately try to provoke anxiety because if you have a panic attack they can book you for disorderly conduct. It’s really cruel, especially for people with PTSD like you pointed out. A lot of veterans get arrested that way.
Every video of cops nowadays further cements my ideas that they’re top tier shit stains, don’t deserve to walk this earth and share oxygen with citizens. Fuck cops til the end of time.
ACAB just keeps getting more and more validated.
It’s a rule.
Kill the Police.
I think its time to have a good ol’ fashion Pork BBQ.
Molotov Cocktails are back on the menu, peeps.
I thought we fired people for repeating Kirk’s own words. Now those same people are slandering an average American citizen.
Deescalation training at work.
Nothing screams “I’m an enormous loser who must project my insecurity onto the world” like kicking over a candle at a dead person’s memorial.
Is this in Minneapolis? If so, will the mayor order the police force to stop acting like they’re allied with ICE? (Let’s be honest, they mostly are I bet). At some point a city is going to need to force their police force to officially choose sides, or resign if they are unwilling.
their badges say “POLICE DHS”
These are DHS uniforms made to look like local police
These are ICE agents or some other variety of federal law enforcement based on their DHS badges.
Suggested to be in Sacramento https://bsky.app/profile/iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social/post/3mbwag5v33k27
Came here for this clarification - Minneapolis has far more snow and ice on the ground this week than what’s shown

Other than “because of BLM”, cooperation with local law enforcement would be a good reason for ICE to focus efforts there.
I haven’t come across any American heroes yet. Just word smiths.
John Brown was the last one we had and the state killed him.
MAGA’s success owes a lot to the Conservative Propaganda Machine. In a country as big and spread out as ours, having keyboard warriors to spread the message, highlight important stories, organize widespread people, whip up the encouragement and enthusiasm, expose corruption, provide sources, etc. is extremely important.
Not everybody has the ability protest, either physically or geographically, so don’t disparage them for making an important and necessary contribution to the cause, just because it doesn’t align with what you can do.
Piggy wants to throw his weight around by stepping up and then telling the other guy to back down.
It’s a coward move meant to start a fight; he only did it because he has the State backing him up. It makes him look like the pathetic craven fascist in his heart. Try that without a badge and see what happens.
He’s just a scared boy with a gun who needs to bully people to feel like a man.

ACAB, no matter what badge they wear.
No matter the badge, no matter the skin color, no matter the country. Forever and always ACAB
Edit for the person who deleted their comment:
The people that are upholding systemic oppression and arresting people for opposing genocide are bastards, sorry to tell you.deleted by creator
Nah I don’t agree. But a lot are. The left need to stop distancing themselves from every authority they have just because they see some videos. Look where it has got you people. You’re about ready to be rounded up into camps and no way to defend yourself. You’d think you’d at least try to make friends with some group that could protect you.
Imagine defending cops and complaining about concentration camps in the same comment. Wild.
I’m not defending cops pull your head out from your legs and you’d see that
All the cops I’ve known, and I’ve known many, are the worst people you went to high school with. I know a cop that showed me a video of him kicking a handcuffed guy so hard that he shit his pants. Another cop I know used to clasp his hands around his butt when he would fart and then whirl around and smell it. ACAB.
If you are a “good” cop, then you would do everything you could to clean up your police force, and get rid of the bad ones.
But they don’t. At best, they look the other way from abuse. That makes them complicit.
I don’t think it’s that simple. If you were a good citizen you’d stop the bad ones from doing bad things. Why haven’t you? I see bad things all the time
Because it isn’t my actual JOB, that’s why. That’s their job, that they applied for, and we PAY them to do. Nobody is forcing them to be cops. How are we supposed to trust them to clean up crime in our city, when they can’t even clean it up in their own workplace?
If someone in my house was an active criminal, I WOULD do something about it, but it’s not up to me to do anything about anyone else. That’s called vigilante justice, and it’s illegal. We hire COPS to do that. Then they won’t, because it’s too dangerous.
This sums up why the left is never winning a fucking thing anytime soon. It’s not my job
You think the police are here to protect us? C’mon OP, here, in this thread, you’re gonna try and spread kumbayah not-all-cops-are-bad police apologia?
No. I think the police protect themselves and their interest. The left need to align the police with their interest. The fact this is missed on you is a big issue
The left need to align the police with their interest.
How do you propose they/we do that when the police have functionally been antithetical to the left’s interests across most, if not all, of recorded history? It’s not like this is an optics issue; state-sanctioned monopoly on physical violence is literally counter to the entire point of being “to the left”.
I don’t know but maybe the reason we have these cycles where we have ok societies until the authoritarians decide we got too close to a leftist society is partially because we don’t fill these roles. That we ignore it or meme ourselves to be against it leaving authority to the right which means we only maintain civil society at their discretion. There is no world where the left fights back against the police and the military and win. It will only ever be what they let you have. It’s gotta change. Even if things go back to some normalcy, as long as we refuse to fill those roles, it’ll just be the same until next time.
And it’s not police. I was military. The military is more left than people realize. When Trump fired them all, it was such a sad state to not see more people fired up. We saw this coming back then. Protests are cute. But they’re nothing without some power behind it. Without police or the military willing to defend your right then your only going to be able to do what they let you.
The police exist to protect capital. It is impossible for the left to align with their interests
So you’re telling leftists to “align” themselves with police (the state)?
No I’m saying the left has to figure out how it will get those to align with it
Ok hold up, let me get this straight. Are you suggesting that the left try and make nice with cops of all people, in a post that you authored showing cops being absolutely reprehensible human beings? Like what are you even here for dude? I honestly do not understand. Why does the left need some protector anyways? Why would you advocate for that specifically, and not for the left to be their own protection?
The left need power and authority. They have nothing without it. They need to put themselves into position of authority or power instead of rejecting it. You’re not fighting a revolution without either.
Have you never considered what a left wing police force could look like? What left wing owned business class looks like. We keep failing into these cycles throughout history because we don’t change these paradigms. It’s like the left gravitate to this idea that to be left you must be poor and powerless. Instead we need to have these groups in society become more left. Much like how the right use groups like heritage foundation or neo nazis secretly put their people in these positions. The left need to wake up and put people in these positions and change the organizations over time.
Hey, fuck you
This.
He’s just a scared boy with a gun who needs to bully people to feel like a man.
Also he’s hoping that his aggressive attitude will distract people from thinking about his micropenis, and how he’s never satisfied a woman, but that’s her fault, he got his.
Fuck pigs
Pigs are intelligent, emotional, and cognitively complex. They don’t deserve to be dragged down to the same level as the pond scum with a badge that did this.
Fuck 12, then
True, but what about the “two legs good, four legs bad” variety?
I said those very words out loud when I watched.
ACAB.
what are you, the British prime minister?
One might call that… a deep cut
What a pathetic fat, fascist that hides behind a badge to push a guy.
First thing I noticed. How fat is that clown? Jesus christ
When the Civil War kicks off, I hope this fat pig is chasing me. I’ve been training, I can keep him running until his heart explodes. Should take about half a mile.
If kicking that candle into a pile of dry leaves happened to start a fire, then the police would’ve blame the protestors for rioting and used it to as justification further crack down on the community.
They just have police go plain clothes and then stir up shit to do that
They never take off the shoes tho. Dead giveaway
Anytime this happens, they should vacate any conviction of property destruction/rioting/disorderly conduct and related charges. Why? Same reason as the 4th Amendment “fruit of the poisoned tree” doctrine.
And every law enforcement response to protest should be publicly examined via subpoena in this way.
Laws, right?
