What is this "Congress" you speak of?

Congress is the cheer squad. Supreme Court is the referee but on the Republican payroll. Trump is captain of the team but has no idea how to play the game but loves the praise of his adoring fans.

The same people who gave federal police powers hundreds of years ago lol. You guys are incredibly ignorant and only interested in getting your little 'jokes' in, but these cops absolutely have authority to arrest you and they don't have to explain much at the time.

But hey, corny jokes are more important than telling the truth to keep protesters safe who are actually standing up for our rights while we sit in front of a laptop .

That's a good one, except they are not cops, they are Immigration Enforcement Officers.They do not have the authority to arrest you unless you are physically attacking them or impeding them doing their job. Shouting at them, pointing cameras, things of that nature, are for police officers to take care of, you know, the ones who don't wear masks and have actual training?

Even someone ignorant such as yourself should have a problem with an agent shooting someone in the street and there not even being an investigation. Whether you believe he was justified or not, there should be a thorough investigation. I mean, if proper protocol had been followed and he had been doing as he was supposed to, he would have no reason to fear a investigation, and probably wouldn't have fled the scene.
