Friendly reminder: "I was just following orders" didn't protect those who faced the Nuremberg trials who had once dragged crying women and children from their homes from the consequences of their actions.

The recordings of ICE Gestapo using chemical agents; flash bangs and other non-lethal weapons against NON-violent protesters have resulted in Federal Judges invoking restraints against these tactics.
Any further violence by Federal Agents in Chicago may result in punitive actions; law suits & jail.

Dear Ms. Noem: Pretend like you’re all camping. Bring you own sandwiches, bring your own scoop for your poop, a bag to take it home and leave the refuse in a bag. Then dispose of it when you get home. It’s not complicated. You’re not home. Pretend like you’re a good guest, not Attila the Hun.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.
