You said you were going after dangerous criminals ?

Now you are taking hard working people off the streets, separating parents from kids, taking people from immigration court who are following the rules, & putting the military on our streets…this isn’t America.

DON’T TELL US EVERYTHING IS FINE

In honor of Brian Wilson's passing, here are the four categories of Beach Boys songs:

Let’s Be Clear: The Rioting In LA Is By The Cops, Not The Protestors

I already wrote about the GOP’s bloodthirsty desire to use the military on Americans. They manufactured a nonsense “crisis” by over-aggressively sending in ICE agents to grab people off the streets, leading to protests, which…

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Which are rightfully questions for the JAG. But the article that triggered all this is from TF CG who is just repeating the basic ROE.

I’m mostly pissed off at how many lawyers—as usual—don’t know what the fuck they are talking about.

I don’t want 2/7 there—at all. But stop spreading FUD.

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that Sherman's comments reflect regular rules of engagement, which allows troops to temporarily detain individuals if they pose a threat to federal property or personnel. The official said it did not reflect an expansion of authorities.

TRUE

They are answering in the only way they are trained.

If you ask a Marine—any fucking Marine—what they do during DSCA they will say detain and transfer to civil authority.

The biggest accounts spreading bad fucking info

Marines don’t arrest, which is why you have Marines saying detain jfc talk to someone you willfully ignorant fucks.

WE ARE COMING, COMING, OUR UNION TO RESTORE
WE ARE COMING, FATHER ABRAHAM, THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE

the "where are all the protests against trump" people became the "these protests against trump are bad optics" people so quickly you may have missed it

Did you just say “lawyered” unironically and without any context calling for a HIMYM joke?

My word.

Immediately draws not only on the car but also with the other truck right beyond. Outstanding lack of everything basic.

Every time these memes drop I have to rewatch

Flying head with eight point star 🤌

Oh no the Tau are here

…now if it was 3/4 😐

I know my craft and audience.

I spent time with 2/7 during OEF, it pains me to write that they are in fact trained pros.

Don’t treat 2/7 like idiots and hold them accountable as professionals—they are.

There’s a goddamn wiki:

If I don’t make the joke someone else would! I know my people.

Ask how recently they conducted training and where the refresher training packages are coming from or talk about the quality or sufficiency of the training but ask the right questions be mad about the right thing begging y’all

Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.

“Slide”

Ok, this is our weather forecast in the AO for the next 72 hours, minimal impact to ground ops…

Anyone saying Marines don’t train for crowd control or civil disorder are wrong. Look up DSCA.
