he got really scared so he had to discharge his comfort weapon

Wait until they see what Ed Whelan has to say about them on X.

These donkeys trying to justify grabbing someone for traffic violations.

Ah yes, that hotbed of dangerous leftist radicals the Cato Institute (narrator: the Cato Institute is studiously Libertarian and was founded by Charles Koch, among others).

All of them should be arrested, including the social media manager who posts on Twitter.

What a surprise - the ICE snowflake complainer is oh so white.

Untrained people hired for partisanship instead of skills and acumen can only look stupid, until they become comically lethal. Idiots dropping tear has in traffic is only the beginning folks. It's all going to look like a Monty Python skit soon

ICE are as liked as that queen who knew every human in the country was starving to death & quipped “let them eat cake” Cnuts. Every single one of them.

Ice agents weren’t in danger when they worked within the constitution.

When you've lost the Cato Institute...

Ice are the new Gestapo

Something about gtfo of kitchens given certain shortcomings…?

Oh boy! I wonder if CATO will get to add yet another agency to the list of groups that have seriously unironically demanded they be arrested for treason!

With the exception of assault, that could be my driving record 30 years ago.

Without specific judicial warrants and show able photos IDs they are indistinguishable from thugs. Simple as that.

If CATO is with us, I think we have the numbers to end this mess

Fuck, Cato is our ally. Where are we? I guess we take it, for now.

I want to go back to when the person in charge would say "The buck stops here." Do you hear me Kristi Noem? It's not our fault the thugs you are in charge of beat up on innocent people. The buck stops with you!

Decades of research into authoritarian enforcers—whether riot cops, secret police, or loyalist military units—show they tend to score high on right-wing authoritarianism (RWA). This means they crave order, fear change, and see obedience and aggression as virtues. belib.org/ICEgoons

Their penchant for unnecessary violence and way over-the-top shows of force should put any normal person off.

Is the CATO Institute Antifa?!?!? 🧐

What riots? I haven't seen a riot since 1/6/21. I've seen US Nazis attacking innocent civilians, but no riots.

It's a weird day when I'm welcoming Cato as a weird member of the resistance and calling for anyone to primary Pritzker. This last 24 hours has been a doozy.

They do look weak. Every video they just look like a bunch of roided out thugs with violence on their minds. It's pretty pathetic. There's nothing patriotic about what they're doing. Nothing honorable at all. Just tweakers looking for a hit .

ah yes, the famously "radical left"...libertarians

ICE appear to be all the bad cops that got caught falsifying police reports. Pretty clear what we are witnessing in America when the "enforcers" don't want their faces exposed. The clock is ticking on this fascist fiasco.

Oh, those terrible "gang members" and their evil traffic violations!

i know what i'm about to say is completely unrelated and i get the feeling jay and the devs are gonna go "WAFFLES" again but. you're on the board of directors right? please, if you're seeing the damage your ceo and the devs are doing by pushing their users away, PLEASE fire them

Even more than going fash, the problem with the RINO rhetoric of the 80s and 90s is it was always going to lead to this. Invariably, dipshits always No True Scotsman their allies one by one until they're alone on the most rickety branch imaginable. Serves them right, the assholes.

The WOKE Koch brothers have gone too far!

I did not expect to get the bulwark and Cato

Maybe. Maybe the socials are just managed by trolls who only know how to do one thing; antagonize their foes.

Ahh yes, the famously left-wing Cato Institute
