320 million+ population. All of law enforcement in the US is maybe 1.2 million people, but that includes the desk jobs and labs, etc. they are completely outnumbered. Even the military couldn't help since most of them are overseas on foreign bases. Disobey. Fight back. Stop working.
I am not an American but considering how heavily armed Americans seem to be, I am surprised these guys aren't being shot on the streets (don't do that). Mobbing them makes much more sense.
Thing about the US is parts are very different from each other. The grab last week happened in Massachusetts, not Texas, and the average citizen here doesn't own (or certainly open carry) a gun.
2 things I’ve heard: report from PNW that the frozen water guys are using bounty hunters in Seattle - hence masks. Another commenter made the point that eventually these dipshits will try to snatch an ethnic MAGA type who’s lawfully CCW and someone’s gonna go down hard.
I think we are too busy worrying about surviving to react in any constructive way. Last 50 years of constant scary and very effective propaganda killed the spirit of this country.
Years of human psychology show us that they'll keep succeeding with their plainclothes ambush tactics. Not enough people are gonna take any kind of action in the moment to overwhelm them.
Those that do will be hunted down by the police surveillance state and persecuted for their audacity...
yeah they do this shit this way because it works. it minimizes how many people notice it happening and the folks who do notice get surprised enough it catches them unprepared and unorganized
We need armed neighborhood militias on constant patrol and alert ready to defend our communities. Anything less will not be sufficient in stopping this barbarism.
not disagreeing, but documenting atrocities is also extremely valuable. the people filming this shit, writing down who was taken and when and disseminating it are doing a public good
It's valuable in the sense of getting the word out and preserving the record for future generations, true, but it isn't enough to stop what is happening.
I want to find out the names and addresses of these hatemongers. That needs to be publicized. Every last member needs to be known and put through the same terror they inflict on others.

We are pathetic twatwaffles who refuse to do a f-ing thing unless it is affecting our bttm-line.
Democratic leadership has led us to believe that the state has ownership of us.
That's why the R is winning. Because D is cowardly & Left is invisible.

That requires action.
Without those, even with our numbers, it feels like standing alone.
