    No badge numbers, masked, using civilian vehicles with civilian plates. These guys could be literally anybody just kidnapping people.

    Just goes to show the danger this precedent sets.

    Thanks for filming this. It is important to not look away, to let them know that we protest what is happening, and keep watching their every move. Good on getting the car plates, the only thing identifiable besides their faces.

    Who knows what they would’ve done if no-one was looking.

    And good on the arrestees, some of the best passive resistance I have ever seen there.

    But what gets me most is the amateurishness of the whole thing. The truck is totally unsuitable for what they’re doing there, they obviously wear private clothes, their vests seem to be labeled whatever (POLICE? ORE?) and they’re fucking helpless getting two guys who aren’t cooperating into a truck. A hastily thrown together troupe of willing goons. It’s a travesty, which just adds insult to injury.

    And we literally don’t know who they are. Anybody could drive up and start pulling people out of houses.

    I can’t express my disgust and anger - and empathy.

    The sneakers and jeans are evidence these “officers” were conscripted from the street or volunteered. Professional cops and unarmed security guards wear boots.

    In Steven Pinkers book, The Better Angels of Our Nature, he describes conscripted soldiers and police as more prone to unnecessary violence and unlawful use of force.

    In the video we can see one detainee forced to watch another get tased.

    There is a clear lack of skill in handling the detainees. It is better to lift and lead someone by the armpits than by the arm: it avoids dislocating the arm. When done from behind, they can’t hit you.

      These masked kidnappers need to be identified and brought before true justice. And be exposed everywhere around the world as the fascist they are.

      We’re fucked as a country if you think paint is gonna do anything. Slash their tires, dog pile the agents/pin them down, follow them home, and enact change. Meeting fascism with checks notes paint, will not rid of us of these traitors to the constitution.

    People should be running these terrorists over in these parking lots and blocking their vehicles in

    you have insurance for a reason, just park in front / behind of their vehicle and walk away
