Please put me on a jury where “a mother holding a child assaulted a federal officer” or “Farm worker ran for his life with terror in his eyes - resisting arrest” or “Teen holds up arms to deflect blows from Trump regime goons and is therefore assaulting an officer”.
Please put me on that jury.
The problem is that by the time there is a trial, the person facing bogus charges has already had to spend a night or days in jail, deal with lost time at work or school, etc. We need juries to do something like return treason verdicts against ICE officers when they push bogus charges
You can’t charge federal officers in state courts for illegal things they do while working for the federal government. This would take the federal government choosing to prosecute its own officers.
But you don’t go in there and truck in shields, rocks, tear gas grenades – that isn’t the First Amendment,” acting ICE director Todd Lyons said. “That right there is just domestic terrorism.”
ICE guy is right. He just described his own men’s actions…
Yeah. I have yet to see a protester bring their own tear gas
What would be the point? The feds have gas masks on, and most of the protesters don’t.
