@calvinfroedge I never thought I'd see the day where the colorful hair crowd would go harder than MAGA, but here we are watching it in real time. MAGA turned into submissive little bitches in record time 😂

@seandsweeney I appreciate you and hear you. Silent majority.

I’m a Marine Corp veteran, trained by LEOs when I served in US embassies on how to handle unruly individuals or protestors.
1) If you are the guys with guns, you are the ones responsible for the situation. Doubly so if you outnumber the person you’re engaging.
2) You do not need to use force except to control the situation in order to deescalate it. Minimal force required.
3) You are NOT here to look for excuses to use more force. Even if the person gives you an excuse which “justifies” using force, that doesn’t mean using force is de facto the right move.
4) “Let the other person retreat” often resolves the situation just fine! Don’t surround people, back them up against a wall, etc. Your job is to control the situation. “I put myself stupidly in danger” is not an excuse to escalate “because I’m in danger.”
5) People will feed off of your energy. If you come rolling up like a fascist thug ready to break skulls, people will meet you at that level. If you show up calm, professional, and having a friendly chat, often that brings the temperature down.
Everything I see from ICE agents is they are relishing violence and exercising power, needlessly escalating situations, looking for opportunities to shoot their weapons and beat the shit out of people.

Minnesota resident: “I’m a huge patriot. I love America. I have a son in the army. I’m proud of our country. I'm ashamed of what’s happening right now…I’m ashamed of ICE. I think it's extremely un-American."

Don’t let the professionally dishonest & the intentionally disingenuous frame an issue as a binary choice of either getting run over or shooting a person. There is literally a universe of options between those two extremes. Stop listening to dolts or liars. Options, use them…

I am a police officer, and I can assure you and everyone else watching this: we get it.

Hating on ICE is a different issue than worrying about police reform

This is a new evil unto itself, and despising ICE doesn't make you anti-cop, or anti law and order

Let yourself occasionally get a little screwed in exchange for not having to live with your guard up all the time. It’s worth it.

@Split82 @FreyaHolmer @hushniksh For the i itself sure, but “there exists a sqrt for negative numbers” is the non trivial assertion.

@kareem_carr Annoyingly, in the thread OP moves the goalposts repeatedly on whether we’re targeting exact image or not. The idea of calling it noise and then referring to recreating the exact image is nonsensical enough to lose my interest. (Enjoyed your take though 😉)

@revodavid Why are so many people making u-turns though?

@realEstateTrent It’s not strange. It’s just impressive.
