Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

ICE are not first responders.
They won't care.
You never hear people shout "Fuck firefighters!" or "Fuck paramedics!" whenever they do their job, but whenever a murderer... I mean police officer does theres, it's not uncommon to hear "Fuck the police!". Wonder why?
/s
ACAB but every paramedic has dealt with a couple fuck yous after narcan'ing someone. I'm not saying this to say cops aren't fucking aweful but rather so as not to minimize how badly medical personnel get treated.
How DARE people Approach Taxpayer Funded SERVANTS who keep MURDERING Americans and KIDNAPPING Children!
-Republicans!
Pretty sure you can deal with these people at a range beyond 25 feet
All personnel are now entitled to a bubble.
So how do you stop a kidnapper and murderer from 25 or more feet away?
Let's stick to stuff a school child would understand.
It depends on the context and the situation. But, the law doesn't prohibit cops from getting that close to you. It just prevents you from being close enough to record them as they commit their crimes.
That's just it, though: cops are much more likely to kidnap or murder people than the general population.
So in order to stop kidnapping or murder, the person you'd need to stop is statistically likely to be a cop.
School children know all too well what can be used from more than 25 feet away.
