This is the correct reaction to a criminal administration violating laws and court orders with impunity, however this is not the reaction we see from most police departments. Police are supposed to work for the community, upholding the communities rules, not for whoever wields the biggest stick, or whoever they agree with politically.
A sergeant from O’Hara’s department later clarified that while Minneapolis Police Department officers may physically intervene in the case of unlawful force, they would stop short of arresting ICE agents.
That needs to happen next. Assault is assault.
Oh shit, not all cops are ba–

…oh. It’s just for show isn’t it? Nevermind.
Yeah, but these are cops we’re talking about—they’re conditioned to escalate at the first sign of noncompliance.
Can you really picture a cop physically intervening, being pushed aside, and saying “ok, never mind”?
Can you really picture a cop physically intervening, being pushed aside, and saying “sorry, my bad”?
I mean, if the other guys scare them…
Holy shit the hopium you that keeps people going… 🤦🏽
Cops are not going to get physical and escalate with ICE, stop it!
Probably not. But I can imagine an ice agent getting physical with a cop.
So…when the police FIND someone breaking the law they decide which party they want to help.
- Tax paying citizen that live here.
OR
- Masked gunman without papers.
so … nothing but a reminder that all cops are indeed bastards and pussies.

That is the most hostile tracking shit I’ve ever seen. There’s no way this is legal in the EU.
It’s not because in EU it has to be opt-in.
defund both ice AND the police, and redirect those funds to stuff like public broadcasting and such. seriously!
Have you been under a rock for the last year?
We need to gut the police academy systems and reformed them without the intention ingraining fear into the trainees.
[We also need to change the constitution that the police DO have the responsibility to protect the citizens and punish inaction as criminal when it occurs.
Edit: also, no cap on how intelligent a cop can be and no allowing retests on psych evaluations.
We need to fund more under-rock public housing. Do you know about the growing population of the un-rocked?
like let’s rock this country
We don’t even enough rocks to start a riot and this is what you’re worried about?!
what?
I said, have you been under a rock for the last year?
if i have been under a rock for the last year, please tell me
have you? actually, it would be better if you were under a rock
No. I’ve actually been watching the POTUS tear apart the US democracy piece by piece while idiots whimper on social media about dreamy ideas divorced from reality.
i mean, police must be defunded. won’t happen with the maga in power, and won’t happen with democrats in power, but we can’t ignore that their budgets are overblown and funding public services will help society much more than giving police tanks.
How about self-defense and militia programs instead? :-(
those would be good
the police is just political ICE 😛
They will just go work for ICE 🤔
This is a good call and it’s refreshing to see a police chief trying to enforce something sensible.
At the same time, I don’t have high hopes of US police being able to correctly identify and react to “unlawful force.” They sure don’t stop themselves or their colleagues when they use it against a minority, but they’re expected to intervene when ICE does it?
MAGA boys MAGA boys, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when Brian O’Hara comes for you?
Doesn’t really matter at the end of the day, Title 8 of the US Code can still be enforced regardless of how they feel or what they say.
