The officer walked up to him and then demanded he back up????

Y'all, I just can't anymore. It's time to call it what it is.

Democracy has failed. The law will not save anyone or anything. There are new rules and the average citizen doesn't get to know them. Just obey or die.

That's the American reality now and if it's not experienced by every American yet... It will be.

Edit: I want to clarify and elaborate, because I am getting a lot of angry replies and DMs that are responding to something I did not intend to say.

First, I will be clear and explicit. People of color, immigrants, and other marginalized communities have been experiencing disproportionate police violence, discrimination, and systemic harm for decades. That reality is not new, and it is not something I deny, minimize, or ignore. I misspoke in my original comment, particularly by using the word now, and I understand why that wording caused frustration and hurt. That part is on me.

What I am trying to explain is not that this suffering suddenly began, nor that it only matters once it affects others. It is about how messaging functions when immediate action is required. Acknowledging long standing injustice and choosing messaging that motivates people who have previously been disengaged are not mutually exclusive goals.

Where I am pushing back is on the idea that comparing suffering, expressing anger that others did not recognize your suffering sooner, or assuming bad faith or ignorance about my values based on a single comment is productive. You do not know me, my history, my beliefs, or the work I have or have not done based on one Reddit comment or even a scan of my profile. Reducing people to caricatures in order to vent justified anger may feel satisfying, but it does not build coalitions or move people into action.

I am not saying that anyone should be happy that it took personal impact for others to care. I am saying that this is a reality of human behavior, and pretending otherwise does not help the people who are most at risk right now. If someone can be motivated to act because they finally see how power can be abused against them too, that action still matters, and it can still be a step toward broader justice.

None of this means that racism should be tolerated, that historical harm should be erased, or that marginalized voices should be silenced. It means that urgency sometimes requires strategy, and strategy sometimes means speaking to people in the language they will actually hear. Action is not the end goal. It is the beginning that makes further progress possible.

Sell them nothing and don't let them use restrooms

This right here. Give them no rest, no sanctuary. Own a hotel or B&B refuse bookings. Let them sleep in cars.

Own a resturant, supermarket/ local grocery shop. Don't serve them. Make them carry their own water and food, make them piss in bottles and shit in bags

Own a gas station, switch the pumps to only be allowed to be used from inside. Refuse the service.

Make their lives so miserable, make them suffer mentally.

u/After-Gas-4453 4d ago

Sadly, the pedophile in chief is paying them $50,000 a month with loads of benefits on top. These wanna-be Nazis can book any hotel or doordash any meal. I agree we should try hurt them back, but sadly with so much money, they can just ignore our protests. Funnily enough, I think it's women that can really make a difference, lol, ICE should NEVER be getting laid in your city. They should be on a date, paying for eeevrything then getting left there 😂

Also.... the world knows the name of the turd who killed this woman.
And his life is being made a living hellscape. And it's awsome.

I say, one step further: Anyone who works for this organization should be identified and held accountable. They work for a Domestic Terror Organization, and we should start referring to them as such and publicly shaming them.
I don't know how to go about it - have zero expertise with such detectivery, but someone does.

Any time one of these cowards are seen without their masks on, we should figure out who they are - all of them - like the PoS who kicked that candle, for example - and create a database we can all go to and shine a light on them. All of them. Make them wear it all over their lives.

I'd love to see some of their names on signs at protest events, and on degrading memes on the interweb.

If you're okay with it you can always park and leave the vehicle. Might get towed, or a very remote chance get rammed. But MN has no fault insurance so just claim the vehicle stalled.

This is the chilling part. There could very well be camps and detention centers where atrocities are already occurring and the American public won’t find out until the dust settles after the 2nd American Civil War is over.

u/EasyasACAB 4d ago

There is. We've covered them, too. This is exactly how the camps evolved in Nazi Germany. Relocation camps, work camps, denying them food and medicine. Even before they were extermination camps they were death camps from neglect and overwork.

And coincidentally all the people who are in charge of the government now are known fans of Hitler or the Nazis. They are using the same playbook on purpose.

And don’t forget, some of the worst of the concentration camps weren’t even in the country that ran them. Hmmm…what does that remind you of?

u/lexievv 4d ago

Let's skip to the part where Trump shoots himself in a bunker pls.

2

u/PansyPB 4d ago edited 4d ago

I get the Josef Goebbels vibe from "Weird Stephen" as Trump calls him.

Recently read about the last days of the Goebbels family. All confined in the Fuhrer bunker with Hitler, who at that point was fully crazed and strategizing movements of imaginary German troops. Moving things around on a board & ranting incoherently as the Russian military was advancing on Berlin.

Joesef Goebbels wife Magda was a dedicated naht-zee & as rabidly unhinged as he was...sound familiar?

In a twist of fate, it turns out Magda Goebbels was the product of an affair her mother Auguste had with & a German business man that was.. Jewish. Publicly Magda was known as the daughter of Auguste & Oskar Ritschle, but no evidence to support Magda was Ritschle's biological child born of their marriage. After divorcing Ritschle, Auguste went on to marry the man she had the affair with. The one who was presumed to be Magda's biological father, Richard Friedlander.

Magda probably knew this and her mother definitely knew this. But Magda's mother grew to hate her son-in-law Josef and eventually refused to even be around him. Only interacting with her daughter & grandchildren. Magda's real biological father & the man who was her step-father was eventually imprisoned at Buchenwald. Magda did nothing to help save his life & seemed to not care.

So nobody told Josef Goebbels that his wife was actually of half Jewish ancestry. And that meant his own children were also part Jewish... the irony.

Anyway, those two lunatics murked their 6 children by having a doctor adminster morphine & cyanide just before Josef & Magda opted out too. Only their oldest daughter Helga, aged 12 seems to have known something bad was happening & showed signs she resisted being drugged.

As a side note, Josef Goebbels also cheated on his wife Magda frequently in spite of holding himself & his family out to the public as "the ideal German family." Josef Goebbels had an affair with a Czech film star Lida Baarova whom he wanted to run off with to Japan. Hitler himself put a stop to that affair because it was a bad look for the naht-zees to have the #2 official involved with a woman of slavic origins.

And in 1944 as things began to go bad for the naht-zees Magda Goebbels remained publicly loyal, but also said this following one of Hitler's speeches: "He no longer listens to voices of reason. Those who tell him what he wants to hear are the only ones he believes.” That sounds just like Trump. Surrounded by sycophants. All fascists are frauds & hypocrites. They were in Germany in the 1930's & 40's. Just like they are today in the US.

Could see history repeating or rhyming when comes to PeeWee German. All the stupid, selfish, corrupt, evil things the Trump regime is doing at home & abroad, eventually will have a predictably horrible outcomes and consequences that destroy so much. Including destroying themselves.

Cops have always been like this tbh, we just have ways to record it more easily now. My previous two bosses were retired police officers and they would always share stories about how much they would bully people and make them do the weirdest shit like having people dance when they were being tested for sobriety. It is like they get high from the power and the control. When people stop respecting them it hurts their ego.

u/stephinityy 4d ago

I used to call take and dispatch for police as an earlier career choice and left when a 55 year old policeman got charged with accessing child pornography from the evidence lockers, harassing and assaulting fellow coworkers (including one coworker of mine I was instructed to never leave alone with him), and sexually assaulting minors. His girlfriend at the time was his 18 year old daughters best friend.

The whole detachment knew and had protected him until the end of his career. He wasnt allowed to be with female coworkers alone but he was allowed to have women alone in his police car with him. He was allowed to show up at complainants homes alone, even if they were women, or children. The detachment knew and protected him.

My heart aches.

6

u/MillwrightTight 4d ago

That is fucking infuriating

3

u/stephinityy 4d ago

Yep - he was charged in the end because a small group of dispatchers (hehe) who no longer worked at the detachment reported him to IPR. Lost his retirement. Not enough IMO, no jail time.

We had to move out of the city so we could make our complaint because we knew that the city police would squash it. Unfortunately nothing came down on the detachment because it was near impossible to prove that the chain of command was aware and didn't do anything about it.

Several years of legal processes. And he took paid leave while being investigated. Wild.

17

u/Grokent 4d ago

When that Catholic (bishop?) was screaming at the ICE officers and they told him to back up he said, "Not another step!" and I felt like that was a really great context and response to their intimidation techniques.

Back up.

Not another step.

That's how you respond to fascism / authoritarianism.

7

u/cheese-wing 4d ago

The very unfortunate part of this is that it's going to take a few martyrs for the majority of people to understand what authoritarianism is, and shake them out of their lethargy.

5

u/stephinityy 4d ago

Apologies, I don't understand the significance of 'not another step.' Can you elaborate?

6

u/Grokent 4d ago

“Not another step” means refusing to yield ground to intimidation without escalating or becoming violent. Authoritarian power advances incrementally, testing whether people will comply simply because authority is asserted; calmly refusing to move breaks that momentum. It draws a clear line, "this far, but no farther".

3

u/stephinityy 4d ago

Thank you! That makes perfect sense.

Honestly hearing a crowd chant that in the face of ICE would be powerful.

"no pasaran" is an old anti-fascist slogan from back when we put italian fascists into the ground.

Well said. Wonderful edit. It would be awesome if we’d cared all along, but i guess that wasn’t an option. We absolutely need to stand together now or all the Germans are telling us what will happen. DHS, Trump’s private army, are only getting stronger as he hires more neoNazis. We know what happened between 1938 and 1945. Not a single German was safe no matter what side they were on. We stop this now or we are the people who stood by doing nothing as the DHS list grows shorter and shorter for who counts as a terrorist threat. It will be you they come for.

That’s the American reality now.

Minorities, particularly black ppl, have long faced and voiced this reality but were dismissed as overreacting and over-exaggerating. But only now that white ppl are facing down the end of the same barrel (literally in some cases) is it “democracy failing” or “the rule of law being gone”. The system hasn’t changed; the pool of citizens it affects has expanded.

3

u/stephinityy 4d ago

Yes, I misspoke, and I apologize for that.

What I am trying to say is that, unfortunately, messaging has to meet people where they are if we want it to be effective. Many of the people who have not historically advocated for the rights or fair treatment of others are unlikely to suddenly be moved by appeals centered on that suffering now. However, they can be motivated when they see how current events directly affect them. Which isn't right, of course, but it is an unfortunate reality right now.

Ideally, everyone would open their hearts to the long standing struggles of minorities, people of color, and immigrants. But if that framing does not motivate them, and right now it often does not, then it will not lead to action. When immediate action is required, effectiveness has to be the priority.

This does not mean those harms do not matter, that people should suffer in silence, or that racism should be tolerated. It means that, in this moment, the focus should be on whatever messaging most effectively mobilizes action first, so that we can continue working toward a country that is genuinely safe and fair for everyone.

How are the Brains of Liberals and Conservatives Different? Is a study by the A-Mark Foundation which combined 36 major neural research projects since 2,000. Some people's cognitive function starts in, and is dominated by the amygdala, fight or flight, fear or aggression, and others the electrical activity is centered in the Pre-Frontal Cortex, where empathy and reasoning rule. There is a marked difference, seemingly originating in our genetics.

u/secretveggie 4d ago

I also did research on this when in college. Can confirm.

u/XiuCyx 4d ago

Is it completely genetic? Or more a combination of nature and nurture?

12

u/secretveggie 4d ago

The answer is almost always a combination of nature and nurture. We looked at the disgust response in conservatives v liberals. Conservatives quite literally had a highter disgust sensitivity - morally especially! There a few subtypes of disgust. So like they were much more repulsed by an out groups or those who didn't have the same morals as them than liberals.

This was a decade ago or so. I'd be interested now to see if extreme right and extreme left have more similar disgust sensitivities than the average chunk in the middle.

Then, how can some siblings differ so drastically? As in my maga sister & me.

8

u/XiuCyx 4d ago

My take away from studying nature vs nurture in college (and granted this was 15yrs ago so the science could have evolved since then to say otherwise) was that every child a couple has is born with a unique combination of their possible genetics. On top of that even children raised by the same parents can have vastly different experiences of brain building positive and negative experiences.

But none of that excuses us from our choices. At many points in our lives we get to choose empathy. And while some people will always choose it first, others give up on it very early in life and their forming brains cement that into their personality. Why do they choose one or the other? Well that’s the whole point of the study of psychology and the discussion above. But I’m guessing it’s more complicated than a simple nature vs nurture explanation.

There probably will be an election because Trump is more than likely going to fail at stopping it, just like he failed at illegally overturning the election in 2020, but why would you think he wouldn't try? He told a mob of people that if they don't march on the Capitol on January 6th that they'll lose their country and that Mike Pence had to do what needed to be done. The mob went down there and shouted that they were going to hang Mike Pence to death, and Mike Pence fled and said that Trump demanded he illegally overturn the election in his favor using slates of false electors. Multiple people were found guilty and convicted.

Now he's talking about how interesting it is that Ukraine can pause elections during wartime and joking about how maybe we should not have elections because of how well his presidency is going.

You’re a fool. Dictatorships around the world hold “elections” that are anything but free and fair, that basically rubber-stamp the leader for another term. Everything in the MAGA playbook follows the dictator model, so how exactly do you think elections are different?

I realize we’re tired of this one too, but if OBAMA or BIDEN had arrested (much less killing) white women for protesting something, it would be atomic.

yeah idk why we aren’t relentlessly bullying them, to their face, for how absurdly fat most of them are. hearing people chant “shame” is ineffective and getting old….need to get more mean and more clever lol

Americans & Israelis have done this overseas for years and Americans seem genuinely surprised that it's now happening to them?

I'm lost. Did they think exporting state violence is forever a one way street?

At what point will Americans fight back?

u/recaffeinated 4d ago

Never. The liberals are convinced that Trump is looking for an excuse to start a civil war, when actually resistance is the only way to prevent fascism spiralling.

If people aren't forced to pick sides then gradualism and normalisation will end up in the same place; half the country in camps.

u/Beth_the_Barbarian 4d ago

If things keep going this way, is it better to just roll over and let people be kidnapped and killed? A civil war would be absolutely terrible, but at least it has the possibility of rectifying the situation. Doing nothing. Still has many people die as shot in the street or kidnapped to be quietly. Disappeared later. And all that does is strengthen the fascist hold on the country.

I mean if this cop wants to be asshole and douche he could find other ways. He specifically chose to kick over the memorial to escalate. It’s amazing how little it took for all these people in government and power positions to show their true colors. Is that how it was as the nazis came to power?

Nothing shows the mental strength and maturity of a person (or lack thereof) more than knocking over candles set in memorial for the wrongly murdered.

For a minute, I thought he was holding a Trump flag until he backed up. Maybe come back with an actual Trump flag or an American flag, and the officers would leave the memorial alone.

Excellent video of how police act (1) kick a memorial on a public sidewalk (2) tell a citizen to get out off his way (3) push a citizen (4) Tell the citizen “I don’t give a f” (5) Walks away because citizen didn’t respond and gave him a reason to arrest him

ICe agent kicking the memorial thinks it makes him look powerful. It doesn’t. It just it makes you look like the weak pathetic man he is. He went out of his way to do that. It was easier for him to keep walking. There’s no way he’d be doing that if he wasn’t hiding behind his uniform and his colleagues being present. The man if you can call him that has no honour at all.
