Yeah, but a bunch of today's events were in the county, not the city, and the county sheriff are the ones that are most willing to hurt people.
Edit: Gov Newsom is deploying the CHP. Hopefully they have orders to keep the other cops from going on a murder rampage
ICE has been raiding elementary schools in the past few days.
I dont expect 2nd graders to read the article.
Thanks for letting us know what is going on.
Most news coverage doesn't make the connection. I don't think people realize why that's happening, or even that their congressmembers have voted to kill jobs.
if they care to
ICE doesn't care if your skin is too dark, or your name sounds vaguely Arabic or Spanish.
The problem is that you're probably not lying in wait with a mythical concealed-carry shotgun. Realistic sequences that have happened in the recent past:
- A couple guys wearing utility company uniforms ask to step inside to diagnose a problem. They then jump you and arrest you.
- Your camera system stops working due to jamming. Then 15 armed men break through your door and surprise you while you're asleep in bed.
- Several people in the crowd at your kid's graduation ceremony suddenly surround you and zip-tie your wrists before you realize what's going on.
You're going to be dealing with a situation where you don't see in advance what's happening, and where you're confronted with a whole batch of people who are heavily armed and wearing body armor. That's a situation where one individual acting alone is very unlikely to succeed in killing an assailant with a gun.
They're wearing body armor. Dude with a concealed gun likely ends up dead, and ICE gets no charges because they were afraid.
