Use of a battlefield tool like tear gas is horrible and the damage to the young?? Disgusting, as was watching the squat of an ICE agent directly spray pepper gas into mouth of Alex P. Why, because he went to aid of women being pushed violently and spraying at them. And then say resisting arrest 1.

So 10 yahoos jump him. We see him being struck with an object. Really? And he’s supposed to remain still? He had to have been in so much pain and so disoriented. And these people are inept, firing at him several times, bc someone yelled, “gun”. FFS, his arms were pinned down in front of him?!

Let's be clear. All three lawmakers are Democrats. The Gestapo using tear gas and other chemical weapons are heavily supported by Republicans. Remember who is looking out of the American people during the midterms. 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐩, 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡, 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭! 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲.

It’s definitely needed! Many of them are bullies and they act like thugs! They seem to enjoy using brute force whenever possible and feel powerful when they use pepper spray on people knowing how much it burns! Trump’s Ice Gestapo is what they are!

what's the point of these law makers doing anything except something physical to remove the nazis, since obviously, Trump's pedo protecters and Trump himself doesn't give two shits about any laws as they make up their own.

They fired on a US Senator. A person who wildly outranks them. They don’t just need to be reined in on chemical weapons, they should investigate who fired, who gave the order, and lock them up. In combat, this would be a court martial offense. They should and do know better. Punishment is overdue!

A seated U.S. Senator who ALSO happens to be a retired USAF Colonel, who served as a JAG for over 20 years. Ted will have their short hairs, and each & every ‘organ’ they infest, plattered for their family’s dogs.

They can demand all they want but until these Democrats gain control of the government AND stop taking money from AIPAC, it will never end. If anything, it'll get worse.

Oh stop it you dumb fuck. When 95% of the people coming across the border are of the same color, removing them isn't an "ethic purge." JFC, you all just reframe whatever the fuck you want, and then if the rest of us don't agree with you, we're the problem. Fuck your bs. We're done with it.

I bought pepper spray recently and was testing the nozzle into my kitchen sink (I know now this was stupid) to make sure it was working and almost passed out from choking on just the fumes. I can’t imagine a child being directly sprayed with it. These “agents” are just the Gestapo by another name

there's a very easy way to stop this stop bringing your toddlers babies and kids in general to volatile protests and leave them at home where it's safe and also the trend of people bringing their kids to protests with the intention of using them as psychological meat shields needs to stop

Here's a CRAZY idea... maybe don't bring children with your looney-tunes asses when confronting ICE agents?! Who thought it was a good idea to fight the law enforcement that 90% of the country enjoys the protection of? And who will YOU call when someone is breaking into YOUR home?

Civilians should be allowed to respond with force when violence is used against them by the state - the state forfeits its monopoly on violence when it is used in excess and unprovoked abuse of power against people exercising their 1st Amendment rights.

Reforms? Take their GD guns, pepper spray, “less lethal ammo” & surly attitudes, then rotate them 90 degrees, insert where the sun don’t shine & kick every last one of the parasites off the Federal payroll (which they never deserved).

it's impossible to legislate against an administration that systematically refuses to comply, and meets no consequences for its abuses
