    “When you’re using these tactics, you are asking people to be hospitalized,” said Oscar Sanchez, a member of a rapid response network that tracks immigration enforcement activity. He said he saw an agent hit a teenage girl in the head with a tear gas canister. “You see elderly folks on the [ground], so you just ask yourself, what is this for? Why is the aggression needed? Why are these elevated tactics even being used?

    This is disgusting. This isn’t law enforcement, this is legalized abuse.

      It’s a police state doing everything it can to keep people from making the necessary changes to stop problems caused by wealth inequality.

          Yeah lol “you will own nothing and be happy”

          They want to force a moneyless society where people are dependent on the rich for goods distribution.

          Really, we could also just have a moneyless society where everyone is equal instead.
