    Police reinforced the federal mercenaries, joining them in shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas and flash-bang

    Is this a trump quote or is this written by trum?

    Please don’t use the word tremendous like that. After trump, it gives me a skin rash hearing it

      I notice more casters across the tubes speaking more like Trump, even on tue left. It’s strange. I hear talks of “Chaina”, and people saying things like “10, 20, 30, 40, 50 percent” - both are Trumpisms.

    Demonstrators investigating the abandoned ICE vehicles apparently retrieved these “challenge coins” that ICE mercenaries receive when they kidnap people. This “coin” is decorated with a skull wearing a crown. ICE mercenaries serve king death.

    …tha fuck!!!

      Kinda need a citation for that claim, it really sounds… weird. It just looks like the standard douchy challenge coins anyone can get online, the airsoft place near me sells dozens with similarly cringe designs but they’re pricey enough not to be handed out casually.

      edit: This substack has more on the significance of the imagery, and it aligns with what I have seen in LEO culture - it does make a lot more sense than them being given out for “kidnapping someone” as this article implies.

      Summary is that these were likely given out for a joint operation with the IRS and ATF (you can see the agency names engraved on the coin) and that has it’s own chilling implications but that are unrelated to direct kidnapping rewards.

        All law enforcement organizations in the USA are wholly illegitimate. I respect none of their laws or regulations.

            The pervasive culture of domination and subjugation within all law enforcement is shown through those pins and such. The symbology is always the same and it’s always hateful. It is in every organization in our government.

            That’s what I meant

          Agree with the other commenter, early in my career I did IT work for a mid-sized city. Through the normal course of my work I given a “North City PD” (not the real city name) enameled coin with some little logos and stuff on it.

          It’s shiny junk they hand out to each other to make themselves feel special.

    Good to see the people using the sheer weight of numbers against these arseholes. And fuck the police for siding with the ICE criminals.

          Yes. It’s ironic how Americans call the French ‘cheese eating surrender monkeys’, too.

              America has propagandized it’s citizens to disregard and mock their French cousins lest Americans see what their brothers can accomplish when they unite against their ruling class.

              The same France who stood with them against their own king 200+ years ago.

              Truly the only thing the elite fear globally is class consciousness.

          Maybe they ran over a bunch or debris?

          It would also explain the deflated tire. It could have been a makeshift tire trap, something that looks like a bunch of trash but has nails and shit.

    North Minneapolis is legendary for being tough as nails. I’m proud of the city and hope these ice fucks freeze their dicks off.

    Haven’t lived there for a few years, but I’m proud to call it my hometown!
