Where are the retired soldiers saying to these young marines that this is wrong? Where are the clergy walking with the demonstrators shaming these marines in their actions.
Notice at the 28 second mark, how quick that Mother F'er points aims his gun directly at the unarmed protester...you KNOW he wanted to pull that trigger!
"right now is d.o.a." something will pass, but Trump wanted the bill to be passed as is. I think there is going to be some major changes. Trump probably sees that as a defeat and an embarrassment. so he goes to the distraction playbook and takes over the National Guard and brings in the Marines.
No, the person ordering is different. The actions are the same. Abuse people at the behest of your government. They're just usually non-white countries.
they really might have… I’d argue joining the army is signing up for exactly that in exchange for an overpriced education and health insurance that is continually cut
What our country has turned into since Donald Trump came onto the scene is just a disgrace!! This is NOT who we are!! We must come together and not allow him to divide us further!! 🇺🇲
Don't these people understand that they are playing directly into Dumps tiny little hands? This is exactly what he wants. This is just plain stupid at this point. Yelling insults at the Marines ain't gonna help. 😕
(I actually don't know if the mayor has authority over the police in Los Angeles. In New York they don't; the commissioner is independent. But Mayor Bass created a curfew, tacitly ordering the police to arrest protesters after dark, which they have been doing.)
Thanks. So it sounds like she doesn't have direct control but could force something to happen by removing and replacing the commissioners, but that's the sort of thing that would probably require a lot of political capital if it's not usually done.
Nacht und Nebel meaning Night and Fog, was a directive issued by Adolf Hitler on 7 December 1941 targeting political activists and resisters...imprisoned, executed, or made to disappear, while the family and the population remained uncertain as to the fate or whereabouts of the alleged offender.
Yes but they severely underestimate just what the people are capable of. From being calm and protesting peacefully, to getting together and training and becoming a guerilla army to harass Trump and his toadies, even facing down the entire u.s. military if need be. Hopefully he’ll die before that
Yes the Gestapo is a reason for protest.
So is Medicare
Social security
Education funding
Science research
The fact the orange has ignored courts
And more.
This is NOT a one topic protest.
It’s against everything Trump
I wonder how it feels to go from being loved at home with people buying you dinner and drinks and thanking you for your service,
to being a pariah, an enemy of the people, a pawn for a dictator.
If U worked in a supermarket and they didnt have your favorite cereal.
Do you:
A. Ask a manager when the next shipment of that product comes in.
B. Go to the register with your purchases and leave to go to the next store to see if they have it.
C. Yell at the worker and spit in his face.
Choose one
I don't feel protesters need to provoke situations and then say they did something to them. I'm not going to say that is OK ppl protesting is one thing, but doing other shit if you're so big and bad go on your own DO IT. LET AMERICA SEE WOLF
Well… 1) because while there are peaceful protestors there are also agitators lighting cars on fire. You can’t leave that. And 2) they now have to intervene between the NG/marines and citizens to stop/protect both because Trump won’t pull them even if PD leaves. It’s a F-ing mess. That’s why.
These same police that are shooting reporters are preventing property damage? Is dont think so. Seem like Bass with her imposed curfew is facilitating Trumps drive toward dictarorship and rational to deplot troops. The Democrats do not oppose Trump or protect immigrants.
Only because Newsom gave his (implicit) consent. Trump can't order any National Guard units to do anything without their governor's consent except in certain emergencies in that state. And that exception hasn't happened. And this isn't a situation of Trump just ignoring the rules. The NG commanders
They’re choosing to be used. Every service member has a responsibility to refuse unlawful orders. Doesn’t matter if you’re the lowest guy on the totem pole, and it doesn’t matter if the consequences are hard, they swore an oath and they are breaking it
Donald Trump pardoned the criminals who attacked the Joint Session of Congress on 1/6/2021. Why? He wanted to form an army of criminals willing to commit violence at his bidding even if it required violating the Constitution and laws of the USA. These criminals are now ICE deployed bounty-hunters.
No no they are marines, stop exempting institutions to calm your own beliefs, they are what they are. This was an institutional choice, it went through a line of command to get to this point.
The Military Law of Obedience is explained in a simplified statement below since you don't seem to understand that this is law and not my "personal beliefs."
They also violated the Military Law of Obedience. It does matter what they're commanded to do. Everyone in that line of command had a responsibility to reject unlawful orders.
It amazes me that a few days ago the US population generally respected and was proud of our military and now they are looked upon as the enemy. thank you cheeto man. and btw, why the F are the marines following orders from damn POTUS when they took an oath to the constitution?????
That's STILL a violation of their oath of service. They uphold the CONSTITUTION, not the whims of a fascist dictator. Their presence in a US city to assist during protests is in direct violation of the Constitution, and they are dishonoring Marines who have served honorably.
If the marines were upset they were spit on when they returned from Vietnam, they ain't seen nothing yet, and it won't be just those service people in LA.
A better response to the Marines might be, “We aren’t mad at you but the feckless politicians that put you in this position. When the time comes to protect American Civilians exercising their Constitutional Rights, where will you stand?”
I would also encourage all protestors to carry American flags
Dickless white men diving their big bad military vehicles in civilian areas. These men ruined the United States. Shun them. Dix them and ignore their families for 10 generations. Make them eat dirt.
We all know whose side local police officers are really on. When push comes to shove, we know who they're pushing and shoving. Destabilizing our communities is no way to keep the people's trust.
Let me tell you about sexual violence in the military. Oh wait. I had an OSI investigation that found three more victims. That was better than my BFF who got raped while wearing one of those uniforms. Eat more chicken.
Palantir CEO is an interesting fellow. He likes drones. In fact he wanted to dispense fentanyl laced urine on to crowds. Their building is somewhere in Denver. I yelled at some Swaistcar yesterday.
it’s my understanding that most police departments are staffed by officers who don’t actually live where they police. this helps them to dehumanize everyone
Those pigs aiming their green bean bag guns at the people protesting the Military being deployed against their own citizens are the modern day brownshirts! And Bravo to that man with the giant cajones for getting right in the face of a marine driving a vehicle designed for war!
Might as well. I’d say treat them cordially but with firm resistance so as to win them to democracy’s side. But they tried that at Kent State and it got 4 students shot & killed.
Soldiers, Trump is using you to get to his main goal: dictatorship. Don’t. You are trained to protect civilians. Trained to defend your country from aggression. This is a domestic aggression.
The LAPD is having to protect the marines, who are supposedly there to protect ICE, who are already protected by the thousands of national guard troops?
From unarmed people exercising their 1st amendment rights?
At a cost of $134m?
Who knew the path to authoritarianism would be so absurd?
First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Imagine, you do this presumably arduous training to become a marine. Only to be send to a US city to fight against US citizens. Semper fi - for what exactly?
Bullshit. From day one of training they are repeatedly taught that they’re swearing an oath to the constitution, not to any person & that they must disobey any unconstitutional order. By obeying the order and going to LA they broke their oath. If they didn’t want to be there they should’ve said no.
With all the tanks and Paladins in DC, if I were a Democrat in Congress I would be phoning any & all friends in the military right now, instead of waiting to be disappeared by next week.
You don't get some kind of pass to bring assault rifles and armored vehicles to regular-ass neighborhoods in peacetime when you join the military, jerk.

Military members Oath is to the Constitution but also states to "obey the orders of the President and orders of officers appointed".
When these orders are unlawful, like committing crimes such as violence and torture, violating the Constitution or Federal laws, orders outside the scope of... 1/3
2/2... of authority of the issuing person, targeting civilians intentionally, and officers ordering personnel to suppress lawful protests that violate people's First Amendment rights (UCMJ Articles 90, 92), then Military members can sign conscientious objector paperwork.
The LAPD is not obligated to assist Federal anything. I don't understand why they're more interested in assisting the feds than they are their own communities. They should be protecting Los Angelenos, not shooting them w "non lethal" weaponry. The feds problems are of their own making. Fuck them.
I grew up where a lot of LAPD lived back in the day, and they are awful people. Lost little white supremacists with nothing to support, and now they have a white nationalist government.
America is now occupied by a foreign directed government Russia and Vladimir Putin, he is using our own National Guard and Marines directed by project 2025 and Steve Bannon in total control of Donald Trump by using his own sons to get to him to enrich themself because their father has been a failure
After several decades of the press and law officials making la protests look like riots is old and tired news for the rest of us. Let's get back to the economy and musk.
LA respect Our Soldiers

C'mon when you do that stuff you give Trump exactly what he wants
These people are in violation of their oath of service. Once they violate that, they don't deserve respect.
Their oath is to uphold the CONSTITUTION, not to serve a fascist. They're violating the Constitution. They're not Marines. My father was a Marine. These are Nazi scum.
They should have chosen not to show up. They swear an oath to the constitution, not the president. They’ve abandoned their oath and should be dishonorably discharged and shamed.
I was a kid during Vietnam. Today's military has NO IDEA how reviled it was back then - and that lasted all the way until the first Gulf War. Two generations of military are now used to being regarded as heroes. That will all change the moment one protestor is killed by a Marine. Fucking insane.
Aren't they different people though? They ones sneering at Marines today weren't saying thank you for your service last week. And people capable of having nuanced views had nuanced views last week as well as today.
I would imagine they’re used to going to another country and being greeted like this, but on American soil they’re used to “thank you for your service”. It just be demoralizing to be greeted this way on American soil.

Stay safe out there people. See you Saturday.
Since the order for them to invade LA was an illegal order, every marine swore an oath to the constitution to disobey.
They have lost any excuse. Those are now traitors.

If you're gonna protest then protest.. don't obstruct regular procedures

I imagine it must feel pretty shitty.

Those Marines do not want to hurt citizens.
This is just another clown show put on by the clown in the White House to further embarrass the USA all around the world and at home. 🤦♂️🤷♂️

Part of the orders they've been given is that protesters are 'invaders.'
The Marines won't be in a listening mood.

You don't "protest" domestic terrorism.
You fight.

If they are ordered to fire in civilians they should shoot their officers
The Trump regime has stained the US military in a way that may never wash out.
