    a bench warrant was issued for Sullivan.

    There you go. Go after the little people. Put them in prison. They’re committing crimes, kidnapping and battery among others. Tackle them and put cuffs on them. Let their defense team explain how they were acting under legal authority, what statutes were involved, where their warrant was.

    I understand that things have gone insane on the federal level, but they’re still committing crimes in municipal places.

    In a perfect world, we could impeach Trump for causing these things to happen, but it’s still absolutely possible to interfere with the actual people who are committing crimes in order to implement the stuff.

      Lets see how the different branches of law enforcement handle it. If they collectively disregard the judicial branch, we’re officially fucked.

        Actually, they’re fucked. If cops start ignoring judges, citizens can start ignoring cops. If there is no law backing the law enforcement, then they’re nothing but armed terrorists and should be dealt with accordingly. Id LOVE to see ICE try some shit in LA or Fresno.

          If cops start ignoring judges, citizens can start ignoring cops.

          A tightly knit, professionally trained, ideologically uniform organization is going to be a bigger danger to the public at large than a random subset of disorganized dissidents will be to the police.

          Id LOVE to see ICE try some shit in LA or Fresno.

          While it would be extremely entertaining to see ICE stumble dick first into an LA County Deputies Gang, they are more likely to find common cause than conflict given that they’re both fascist af.

            “Professionally trained” buddy these freaks mag dump on acorns falling off trees.

            The one thing working 6 months for the USCG taught me was how thin a line the government operates on. Even at the pseudomilitary level with all the funding DHS can provide, boats barely function, equipment barely runs, and maintainence is almost always pushed back due to budget. 80% of their shit is falling apart and the 20% that isn’t is in some management’s office and hasn’t been used by anyone competent since acquisition.

            As far as I’m concerned, any government run organization is maybe 4 weeks away from folding like a lawn chair. I really, REALLY don’t think the odds are great of a perfect fascist cleansing taking less than a month in this country.
