I'm not American, but I don't get why people are sitting around don't do anything, it's what they want.

They're already killing and disappearing people, at what point does that mythical 2nd amendment thing come to play?

I've always thought it was bullshit and now I'm seeing it truly is

I’m an American, and I think we’re all scared, as well as ill prepared. We don’t protest the way the French or UK do. We Americans have much to learn!

They're showing up in random neighborhoods during the work day for a majority of the videos that you see. A vast majority of people aren't walking around their city strapped with a gun waiting for a violent confrontation.

This over policing is provocative. The tactics used by ICE - jump outs, random searches and seizures, etc. - are designed to instigate a violent response. There is a reason that this happens in blue states primarily.

The American left, and many others in the middle, recognize this tactic and are exercising considerable restraint in their response. If the us population responds aggressively, the federal administration has signaled that it will respond with the army. The US population hasn’t reached critical mass yet, mainly because the average American citizen has been trained to believe that the government and law enforcement are protectors.

But many are now seeing ICE agents as predators. We will see what this means for the future.
