Night night sweet dreamies

Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.
Have patience with all things,

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Does this not put the Pentagon in an uncomfortable legal/ethical/moral position?

If these attacks are illegal, is there a line that must be crossed for them to disobey Trump?

The Pentagon (as far as we know) has NOT objected to National Guard deployments in our cities.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

They are afraid of those Kavanaugh stops where they are yanked from their family, zip tied and kidnapped for a day or more, and if they have the right papers they get released with $130 fine to pay.

He's being dishonest and ignoring the fact that ICE is kidnapping and locking up people with visas, green cards, and even Latino citizens. He just doesn't care.

That's not dodging a question, that's full on delusion of reality. American citizens are being beaten and arrested. How untethered is this man from reality?
