    Typical double-speak attacking a strawman position.

    Nobody is claiming that Federal officers don’t have immunity to perform their legal obligations and duties.

    The complaint is that they’re doing things that are not within their legal obligations and duties like trying enforce traffic laws and shooting people in the head.

    Or raiding an entire apartment building full of homes without a single warrant.

    Or throwing a flashbang into a car full of children and a 6-month old infant.

    Or shooting people in the face with grenade launchers leading to the loss of their eye.

    Or arresting people for being brown, or for not showing papers (which is so fascist that it is a meme).

    Or fabricating ‘assault on a federal officer’ charges (which will result in years in prison, everyone should remember this) by invading personal space and treating any brushing contact as if it were a thrown punch.

    Federal Officers are allow to perform their duty, they are not given completely immunity by virtue of their jobs nor are they given immunity to brutalize people who hurt their feelings or throw baloney on their cars.
