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.

A couple of rules in life:
1. If post on any platform makes you laugh you owe it a like.
2. If you stop to enjoy a street performer you them money.

With a beat reminiscent of Usher’s legendary “Confessions Part II”, could Kehlani’s hit single “Folded” bring a resurgence of the immortal but bygone era that is 2000’s R&B? One can only hope

Accomplishing goals is easy when you’re disciplined. Day in day out. Don’t give yourself a choice. The first mistake is allowing the “should I do this today?” to permeate through your brain.
The hardest part of a goal is the first 2-3 weeks. Once a habit is built it’s easy

[paul @paultwothree]

Motivation is overrated: it’s only good for two things. 1. An optimum state of mind for goal setting. 2. Making the things you know you need to do easier.
Discipline is by far more important. It will carry you when you don’t feel like it.

@AlexDuncanTX Is your question “why are we allowing expression of religious freedom?” How are you running for government? Do you understand the foundations of the US?

@JohnLeFevre It’s the brain rot. People won’t learn an instrument, read something intellectual, learn anything of substance for that matter when they can numb their minds with quick hits. Things that take dedication fall by the wayside
