    Lets see how the different branches of law enforcement handle it. If they collectively disregard the judicial branch, we’re officially fucked.

      Actually, they’re fucked. If cops start ignoring judges, citizens can start ignoring cops. If there is no law backing the law enforcement, then they’re nothing but armed terrorists and should be dealt with accordingly. Id LOVE to see ICE try some shit in LA or Fresno.

        A tightly knit, professionally trained, ideologically uniform organization is going to be a bigger danger to the public at large than a random subset of disorganized dissidents will be to the police.

        Id LOVE to see ICE try some shit in LA or Fresno.

        While it would be extremely entertaining to see ICE stumble dick first into an LA County Deputies Gang, they are more likely to find common cause than conflict given that they’re both fascist af.

          “Professionally trained” buddy these freaks mag dump on acorns falling off trees.

          The one thing working 6 months for the USCG taught me was how thin a line the government operates on. Even at the pseudomilitary level with all the funding DHS can provide, boats barely function, equipment barely runs, and maintainence is almost always pushed back due to budget. 80% of their shit is falling apart and the 20% that isn’t is in some management’s office and hasn’t been used by anyone competent since acquisition.

          As far as I’m concerned, any government run organization is maybe 4 weeks away from folding like a lawn chair. I really, REALLY don’t think the odds are great of a perfect fascist cleansing taking less than a month in this country.
