Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

(96,865 posts)This is a brutal assault, worse than what they did to Sen Padilla and that was bad!
They are beating up our Democrats in Blue Cities.
He repeatedly asked for identification! Unbelievable, yet here we are.
I joined Bluesky a couple of days ago. I like it.
Thanks, Cha.

(317,949 posts)I noticed you joined Bluesky. Good on you! I take it you didn't have any trouble?
When I tried early on they kept saying my Username had been taken.. and when I asked for Help it didn't come .. . I need to try again.

Officers? What are you going to do about it?
Courts? What are you going to do about it?
Asking for some friends.

(7,603 posts)This crap NEEDS to be illegal here. And it needs to be fought back against. Any masked individual grabbing and manhandling someone needs to be taken down as a terrorist.

However, his fingers do appear to be smudged, perhaps from his knuckles dragging along the floor.

It's a criminal enterprise from now on as far as I'm concerned.

(25,842 posts)These agents need not only to be fired, but zero pensions or government benefits. Plus, you know, charges. This is BS.

(12,952 posts)At least the assassin in Wisconsin tried to look like a cop.
It is inevitable that some gestapo wanna be is going to kidnap someone and disappear them.
What is needed is a lawsuit seeking a court order that ICE gestapo not wear masks, present their credentials, and any arrest warrant.

(96,865 posts)I will bet there are more goons out their than ice agents, They probably have quotas and paid per head.

(2,374 posts)Federal and State. Sure, as long as the Felon is in office, nothing will happen to them. But if they know they will have to answer for their actions, individually, they may think twice.
How is it out military members are instructed to ignore illegal orders but the same doesn't go for anybody working for the Federal Gov't.
We have to think outside of the box. When we get back in power, no more worrying about decorum or inside gaming of DOJ policies. Like "we can't charge him so close to an election". "Our policy is the Director of the FBI serves a 10 year term".
"We're not done with our investigation into the background of the SC nominee but by all means hold the confirmation vote anyway." "We've heard some allegations of rape but for some reason, we didn't get testimony from the alleged victim."
"There's something about being disqualified from running for office but our finding is, it doesn't apply to a Republican."
I better stop here or I'm going to blow a gasket.
Go after Senator Padilla's attackers, go after Mr. Lander's attackers. Use the courts, civil and criminal. False arrest, slander, assault. It is injurious and intentional. They will claim immunity but take it to court, again and again.
