    The raids are part of a coordinated response across the U.S. after President Donald Trump vowed to instigate mass deportations of undocumented migrants.

    Response? Response to what? It looks to me more like a military force invading a city and attacking civilians.

      I mean, it’s the LAPD that did the shooting here, they would’ve done that whether Trump called up the national guard or not.

      I got this crazy idea: What if we could protest invasive policies the majority of people don’t want enforced in a city without having an abusive dictator continuously escalate things, and indicate to other abusive pieces of shit there would be no consequences for this kind of behavior? What if we fired and criminally charged the asshole that shot this lady, and tried to encourage more cops to be like the only one that actually stopped to check on her to try and stop the bleeding?

          Literally who is doing nothing? All these people in the street? The cop that stopped to check on her? The people trying to spread information when it’s being actively suppressed?

          I would say encouraging violence when you know damn well what the outcome will be with civilians going against an entire police force, ice agents, public military, and likely private mercenaries, is about the fastest way to escalate this and exactly what trump is hoping for
