There are two approaches to counterinsurgency strategy: either you try to win the hearts and minds of the general population, or you set out to intimidate or exterminate them.
This administration has clearly chosen the latter.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
