We really don't need to hear ICE's side on these things on the mainstream media, particularly if there is video because...we have eyes.
All platforming them does is give the false impression of a debate and disseminate their lies to a larger audience.

BASH: But he wasn't impeding. He was filming, which is a legal thing to do in the United States

This fucker grew up 2 hrs west of me. Went to western carolina u and app state, was a cop in boone. He is the scion of italian immigrants who came to the US in 1909. He is a literal nazi, and regularly indulges in wink-wink-nudge-nudge signaling, as if to say 'what are you gonna do about it'

Arguably, it’s precisely their training that is what is making ICE brutalize and murder innocent protesters.
If I hear one more big name former prosecutor attorney call for better training of fascist military forces that are killing people, I am going to yeet my phone into the sun.
As I said yest, there are legal commentators who are built for this moment, and PLENTY, including those on MSM, who ARE NOT.

For someone who is an expert on staying away from the front lines, it’s surprising that he made this mistake about UK troops.*
* it’s not surprising.

How exactly do you “climb down” from saying British soldiers were cowards who ducked the fighting in Afghanistan? It’s not a policy position, it’s a mortal insult! Another incredibly supine performance by the Home Secretary and the British establishment.

A great takedown of crappy rage-baiting.
I was asked to look at this post!
And while the story obviously has important context that’s missing from the headline - which I’ll cover obvs 😜 - what’s more important is to question why this is being posted!
And what to ask yourself when you see something like this…

I’m really quite surprised at the BBC website today. ‘Here is a video, some people say it does not show what it very obviously shows’ is not how you report this.

This hot tub is a little overdecorated for me, but I'll allow it.
Theology 101: Conversion to Christ not only saves you from eternal death. When lived in light of your baptismal confession and repentance, it saves you from deep despair, from a destructive life, from damaging decisions, from wicked deeds, and from diabolical deceptions.

Ok, kiddo, since you've chosen to "not pull rank" by insulting my colleagues (and my own scholarly record), perhaps you'd like to post all your award-winning work here?
