To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Violence isn’t the answer, as far as being more reasonable more than likely it is the Cartels.

at least they openly murder people & are straight forward with we are going to fucking kill you And hang you from an overpass bridge.

abcnews.go.com/amp/US/carte...

Cartels issuing bounties up to $50,000 for hits on ICE, CBP agents: DHS

Drug cartels have "disseminated a structured bounty program to incentivize violence against federal personnel," according to a press release from DHS.

They can be violent but we can't.
Sounds fair.

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.
