Mike Johnson Says ICE Shooting a Priest Doesn’t Cross the Line

[Uncensored2008]

"We’ve seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists,” a reporter said. “Where’s the limit for you on what’s acceptable conduct by federal law enforcement? And when is it incumbent on Congress to amend oversight on federal law enforcement?”

So fake clergy are to be immune to laws?

Convenient for the insurrection.

“I’ve not seen them cross the line yet,” Johnson replied, saying that there were some committees with jurisdiction over federal law enforcement. “It’s not risen to that level.”

But the few instances cited in the question are evidence enough that federal forces have crossed several legal and ethical lines. "

Mike Johnson Says ICE Shooting a Priest Doesn’t Cross the Line

The House speaker has yet to see any issue with ICE’s behavior in Chicago.

Super simple - even the democrat fascists can learn - don't attack federal agents. If you attack federal agents, you can and will be arrested, detained with force, or shot if you pose a grave danger.

I know the idea that the left is subject to the same law as covers other is a complete shock to you, but times have change - equal protection under the law exists now.

"SmartNews" is a news aggregator - a portal. It is NOT the source of the story, which is "The New Republic". "SmartNews" also has no known connection that I am aware of with malware. It is clickbait driven, but so is much main stream media these days.

But being required to download their application smell rotten to me.

I will let the fools who do not care about internet security do that. Not me.

 

[Uncensored2008]

The difference here is there is simply no tolerance being given. You cross the legal limit with ICE and they arrest you. If you resist, you get put down.

No softball here. They are playing hardball. It amazes me the left is so stupid they have not realized this yet.

As it should be. The left doesn't comprehend the idea that laws apply to them. They never have before....

It's no longer a battle between political parties. It's now a battle between people with no morals versus people with morals.

I'm pretty sure that "priest" isn't a get out of jail free card. If a priest shoots at you then feel free to shoot him back.

 

[Crakhobarbie]

Do I need to also hold your hand?

What you need is moral and ethical fortitude and a working knowledge of our Constitution.
All are severely lacking.

 

[Uncensored2008]

This thread is about Johnson's comments regarding a pastor who was shot in the head for funsies by ICE agents looking down on him from on a building. He was just standing there talking.

Why do MAGAs lie about literally ****ing everything under the sun? Absolutely disgusting ideology

Don't attack federal agents. Simple concept - even the fascist democrats should be able to grasp it.

Don't attack federal agents - period.

If they engage in violence - they are not immune. Political violence is standard procedure for the left - but it will be met with decisive action.

Further the hate site you link to has no legitimacy.

What political violence was the priest engaged in while his hands were spread apart and he was peacefully praying, and then assaulted by police by being shot in the head with a gas pellet?

 

[Lord of Planar]

What an idiotic statement.
The priest was standing on a public sidewalk exercising his 1st amendment rights when an ice agent deliberately pepperballed him in the face.

Actually, he was just on the other side of the sidewalk. Still on coincrete, but on the ICE side of the sidewalk.

The 1st amendment does not allow trespass.

Reality check:
This is assault.
And, no matter how you try and spin this, youll always be wrong as well as morally and ethically deficient.

I agree it was unnecessary force. Just the same, technically ICE was in allowed to do that.

Oh what a laugh. You thinking you can school anyone on morality.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Then why is the video clipped to 25 seconds?

Oh, right we all know why.

The fake "priest" was attacking federal agents - he was ordered to evacuate and instead doubled down.

You are no longer above the law.

 

[rahl]

As it should be. The left doesn't comprehend the idea that laws apply to them. They never have before....

Standing in a public sidewalk, peaceably protesting is a guaranteed right under the constitution. You can’t be shot in the head by LEO for doing so. That is called assault.

What priest shot at ICE agents?

 

[rahl]

Don't attack federal agents.

When did the priest attack federal agents? Be specific and show evidence of this attack.

Simple concept - even the fascist democrats should be able to grasp it.

Don't attack federal agents - period.

What federal agents did the priest who was assaulted by ICE attack?

Mike Johnson the mega Christian is IN FAVOR of killing people!

Can someone square for me how he can spew "christian values" and oppose free choice and support murder in the streets.

The pastor had it coming? Republicans only value Republican lives.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Should we instead trust Fox News, the company that says no reasonable person could possibly believe they are reporting facts?

Imagine if they actually had said that?

But lying is one of the two pillars the fascist democrats are built on. Hypocrisy is the other.

Standard Disclaimer: For lurkers - the lie that will follow from the hack drones is that a statement made regarding the opinion show of Tucker Carlson is about the news reporting at Fox. But democrats lie - about everything - always.

"I’ve not seen them cross the line yet,” Johnson replied,

It's remarkable what lil' Mike hasn't seen and hasn't heard in the last 9 months. It's his standard response to most questions these days.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Yeah it was posted all around here. And I'm almost 100% certain *YOU* posted in one of the threads during the "week that never happened".

ICE shot a praying pastor with pepper balls. Top Republican says it's fine. | Opinion

Let it be known that Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has no problem with ICE agents shooting a pastor in the head with pepper balls.

Now that we've got LoP's standard insanely dishonest "show me the evidence", is he going to jump thread? Is he going to pivot to something irrelevant and say something that would only look to a brain-dead goldfish like a *gotcha*? Is he going to claim the pastor was threatening?

That's some impressive editing. They made sure to cut out the provocation.

Sieg Heil and Uber Alles democrat.

They did say that. Under oath in court. Were they lying under oath?

When Fox News consists of nothing but talking heads like Carlson giving their opinions, how are we supposed to tell what is opinion and what is news objectively?

“What this clipped video doesn’t show is that these agitators were blocking an ICE vehicle from leaving the federal facility—impeding operations,” McLaughlin wrote in a lengthy statement on social platform X.


“Over and over again, law enforcement ordered these agitators to move off of federal property so the vehicle could move. Law enforcement verbally warned these agitators that they would use force if they did not move and stop impeding operations. They did not comply,” she added.

McLaughlin accused demonstrators of throwing rocks, bottles and launching fireworks at the law enforcement agents on the roof. However, in the recorded clip, Black could be seen gazing at officers with open hands prior to being shot by a pepper ball. }

The clown show of lies and fraud by the fascist democrats marches on.

This is real simple - don't attack federal agents.

Just don't. Even if you love illegal aliens as much as you hate America - just don't.

Oh. Protesters in the exclusion zone ****ing around and finding out.

Still no sympathy.

It is illegal for law enforcement to intentionally shoot a protester in the head with a "less-than-lethal" projectile
. These weapons, such as rubber bullets, carry a significant risk of severe injury, disfigurement, or death when fired at the head. Using force in this way is a violation of established laws and policies governing the use of force, including the Fourth Amendment's protection against excessive force.

The illegality of shooting protesters in the head

• A violation of use-of-force policies: The deliberate targeting of the head, neck, or vital organs with less-than-lethal rounds is widely prohibited by law enforcement standards, court orders, and international human rights guidelines.
• Excessive and unreasonable force: The Fourth Amendment only allows force that is "objectively reasonable" based on the threat presented. Intentionally aiming a projectile that can cause death or serious injury at the head of a protester is considered excessive and disproportionate.

You should have lead with that in the OP instead of a site that requires idiots download their spyware to see the news they have.

I did see this after I looked. They are always told to step away, on the sidewalk or the other side of it. they were trespassing on ICE property.

Again, ICE is not tolerating any occupation of their property. Stay off of it or be dealt with. Why are people so retarded they have not learned this yet? ICE is not fooling around, they are serious.

So you are ok for shooting unarmed, nonviolent protesters in the head for trespassing?

Nope- you're posting blatant lies.

More lies only compound the chicanery you are engaged in.

Tucker Carlson had an opinion show that was clearly marketed as entertainment.

democrats lie - about everything - always.
