The post is right. At the very end of short video, you can
see the ICE dark colored vans just turning off to another street.

and arrest these goons when they break the law.

Minneapolis needs to investigate the Renee Good murder.

These fuckers have immunity if they are allowed to break the law.

it’s a directive from the ICE Queen at the top. The toad in the oval wants more distractions and ultimately an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act so he can fuck with the election.

Agents provocateurs. I have been making the same argument to others. Next will be declaring marshal law and stopping the mid-term elections.

We let them kidnap citizens and did absolutely nothing about it during the post Floyd protests. Even when we took back the white house, we did literally nothing about it

Now they are stepping things up. Push the bubble. End goal is not distraction. End goal is making sure that they have an armed loyal internal army to deal with any resistance to the dictatorship.

The rush is to get there before elections so that this force is able to deal with elections.

And be able to go after the ICE people involved for traffic and other violations.
They left, so there was clearly no immigration enforcement reason for their actions.
Things like this not getting addressed are really making me angry.

Trying to see how much they can get away with before someone either kills one or more of them or the governor calls out the NG to contain them. The Governor needs to act NOW! They will kill again.

They are out there antagonizing and terrorizing.

even local and state emergency vehicles cannot force/push a citizen's car into danger, or intimidate them with Red lights and Siren to move into danger..........Sometimes the driver of a cop car or fire engine "THINKS" they can, but the law doesn't support their actions and the emergency vehicle operators know it, but try to do it anyway.......

There's no reasonable explanation for so much of what they're doing. I'm trying to imagine what kind of "pep talks" they are getting before they go out to persecute innocent people.

It does not appear the light was actually red during that incident. Further, if that car were actually being pushed, it would seem that there ought to be skid marks on the roadway unless the driver in the "pushed" car was keeping the car in neutral. So, is there a more accurate piece of footage that shows what was happening?

I only ask because it is important actually to describe reality. Things now are bad enough even if merely described accurately, please don't add whatever clickbait spice you seem to want to add. It does not serve to make the left look like conspiracy theorists who are prone to make false claims. (Note your earlier post today with the seemingly false statement about a woman having a taser fired at her.)

which is a big deal if you're legitimate law officers in your own country. A lot of these bozos are either ex military and reliving whatever war they were in or they're militia goons who want their chance at glory but without all that discipline.
