"The raid at the clothing wholesaler began about 9:15 a.m. in the Fashion District, less than two miles from Los Angeles City Hall.

It was an extraordinary show of force. Dozens of federal agents wearing helmets and green camouflage arrived in two hulking armored trucks and other unmarked vehicles, and were soon approached by a crowd of immigrant activists and supporters. Some agents carried riot shields and others held rifles, as well as shotguns that appeared to be loaded with less-than-lethal ammunition."

    Man what is wrong with lemmings. This guy can’t even suggest people could act differently without people downvoting (suppressing) his posts. He thinks police are the problem, but people could do something differently to fight back.

    And that’s incorrect. On lemmy, we say “police are bad” and that’s it. Never cast your gaze elsewhere. Never talk about anything else that could change. Police are the problem, end of story, and if you don’t agree your sentiments will put on the bottom.
