Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, said officers had not used pepper spray and similar measures limited by a judge’s order, then was confronted with a video that showed chemical agents deployed.

I’m of hearing multiple examples of legal observers being sprayed, as well as being shown their home address and threatened with arrest for merely bearing witness.

The number of House Democrats signed up to impeach her was 97 as of Friday evening

Edit: there is now video of them continuing to pepper spray legal observers after the court order

    So they’re cowards. If they can’t fulfill their duty, they should step the fuck down. Just because there are more ICE agents doesn’t mean anything. If someone obstructs, arrest them too. It’s very simple and ACAB and this is further evidence to support that.

      Yes, most cops are cowards. They’re very uninterested in taking risks for the community, and would rather posture instead.

      I mean… What’s the hope with this comment? Would you really feel better if all the police forces in your area disbanded?

      What are you going to do then?
