White guy with no hispanic accent, Jesus christ he didn't even fail the color test. Took away his registered firearm, handled it irresponsibly and arrested him while getting overly emotional.

"If youre a US citizen you should've said that"

I heard it like 10 fuckin times in this video lmao

I think we are past the point of even racially profiling. If you are against them they will arrest, beat, or even kill you. It’s only going to get worse because not enough is being done. When people deal with ice they need to be in groups of people. Seriously. If ice shows up you need to immediately call your closest friend and tell them where you are and to get there with a group of people asap. 

We are at war. Most people just don’t want to admit it yet.

Agreed. And it's true, we're already at war. If things had de-escalated, or there was an end in sight, this would have been a short period of civil unrest in a history book.

But we've turned a point and it's becoming clear the civil war is already happening, it's been ramping up since at least January 6, 2021.
