    The part about calling 911 and saying unidentified men seem to be impersonating police is good, but don’t try to talk to them or reason with them, that will just get you assaulted. They only care about subduing targets (to them you’re a target or a threat, not a human). If they’re already in your face giving you orders, hopefully a witness will make that call for you, and you do it for someone else if you witness it.

    Even if they don’t come up to you, “911? There’s a gang of people here with guns and tacticool gear on.”

    Maybe the police won’t care, but at least you’ll be wasting their time, because they’ll have to roll out in force to check it out.

      They do if they think someone is impersonating a police officer and has a gun. They love to shoot at people, its like 45% of their job depending on the area. Seriously, this would work. Given that we have a case fresh in the minds of someone impersonating a police officer and assassination people, they’ll take you seriously. Hell, tell the 911 operator that you’re a republican and the police might even run some red lights to get there.

      Edit: in all seriousness though. This is solid advice. Police dont like other people pretending to be them.

    If an armed, unidentified man approaches you with intent to fuck with you, you shoot him ASAP.

      it’s a matter of time until there’s a trial regarding if shooting a masked unidentified person claiming to be ICE is self defense.

      it’ll be a watershed moment. because common sense dictates that yes, it is. but is we had common sense we wouldn’t have masked state Gestapo disappearing people.

      You’re not wrong, just gotta have pockets deep enough for the right lawyer. Dated a girl who’s dad ran over a DEA agent and crippled him. Her dad walked because the agent drew a gun and didn’t identify himself as an officer.

    It won’t get as far as the second paragraph before the “agent” has snatched your phone and smashed both it and your face in.

      This. White guys get to be tough. Non-white people can only choose to minimise the brutality about to occur.

      And can they reach the guy behind too? And behind that one? And the one behind?

      There’s only so many ICE agents, and millions of us.

        Yeah exactly, you bring a few baseball bats, and or just show up with 30 of your closest neighbors. They cant shoot us all.

    Not accurate. If the goon squad is that close and questioning you or ordering you to do anything, you won’t make it past the first sentence while they laugh and/or shoot.
