Is it time to put our feet down on masked, badge-less “federal agents”?

This practice is becoming more and more common.

Is it time to make a stink about it?

I think if they hit around me I may act out. In a way they won’t accept. Pull my shirt over my head like Cornholio and start demanding papers from random people and acting like I caught somebody. Anything weird and ridiculous. Do the whole “I am Spartacus” bit. Dance routines. Anything ridiculous. (Maybe a little petty vandalism. Can’t take people away on four flat tires!)

Mockery could easily provide terrible media coverage for them as they would certainly react badly.

And it’s feeling like the time is coming when we’ll need to do something or fall headlong into totalitarian hell.
 
Let’s brainstorm.

Maybe get some getups like they have and start “randomly” grabbing people ( in on it) and dragging them toward the paddy wagons.

This would likely end up with arrests and get the issue before the courts.

It’s way down on the list of “How to Establish a Totalitarian Regime”

As far as I know, the only successful repulsion’s came when the society they attempted it in said “**** NO!”

Loudly and immediately.

Can I watch?

You know, can I watch you get arrested?

Legitimate police don't wear masks. ICE is a bunch of tyrannical thugs.

Only idiots try to impersonate a police officer.

And how would we know those masked guys aren’t doing just that?

They are working as a team. You, not being part of the team, would be spotted in a heartbeat and arrested for impersonating a police officer.

I just want to watch and laugh as they cuff you and haul you away.

Weird, you responded, but not to anything in the post you were replying to.

Edit: Unless you meant "they are so legitimate", which misses the point entirely.

They could all be ICE agents, the issue is that they are masked and unidentified, so we don't know they are.

This is worse than how it started in 1930s Germany.

Why are not all Americans not out in the streets protesting this?

People, open your eyes. Your freedoms are being taken away by masked men.

Yes, Red Hat cultists. No one educated.l

You know, people wear masks for one reason in this country. To commit a crime.

Wearing a mask is not illegal no matter how much you try and say so.
People can have many, many reasons for wearing a mask or simply just want to wear one for fashion.

Just try it, go ahead, I dare you!

Hopefully you can keep from finishing too fast!

You only get to watch while masurbating, furiously!

Once you’re done you have to move along.

Then let them stop impersonating a police officer, but police officers DO NOT hide their faces. I mean, duh!!

You miss the point, as long as THEY are arresting brown and black people, Trump sycophants are happy.

And the variant where we gear up and start grabbing “random” people would create chaos. Don’t interact with them at all. Maybe rent some vans.

Unfortunately elaborate ops aren’t realistic as they just show up.

But maybe a false flag? Drop a van full of “suspects in handcuffs outside an ICE facility then disappear.

I’m just spitballing counters. Something that won’t require violence before violence becomes the last option.

I had ideas for protests some time ago. Phalanxes of exercise trampolines to repel rubber bullets. Dancers in gas masks and whispy grey costumes to dance in the tear gas. That kind of thing.

Never underestimate the power of mockery and shame. For both the mockers and the shamed.

Yep. The federal government should not be allowed to arrest anyone ever...except Trump supporters. Unless and until we base all government action on what liberal progressives want we can never be free!!
