This is a satisfying watch. I thought everyone could use a feel good after all of this depressing shit today.

      Please forgive me; I’m having trouble parsing this message. The ‘pointing at naked people in abu gharib’ leads me to think you feel the woman behind the camera is victimizing the people on camera

      I’m not being obtuse, I’m just very much missing the point

    I don’t understand how they can tell they were plain clothes ICE? What are the ways to notice?

      I don’t know for sure, but my guesses are:

      • They’re a small community and they would have noticed them before because they stand out.
      • This is where the sign was taken down and ICE put a dildo there, so they’re on high alert.
      • Cops and sometimes military, walk a certain way.

        Completely ignoring questions was the tell for me. Law enforcement knows exactly what can be done by volunteering info, so they are trained to shut the fuck up. Your average person with no intentions has no problem with discourse, or simply telling you to fuck off.

          Yeah, the camera person was a real pitbull too. I’m not sure if they were trying to say they weren’t ice or what at some point. She kept dogging them without any confirmation until they threatened to arrest her. That camera was helping her keep at them.
