Goddamn did things change quickly, huh? So many hateful people in the US, I didn't even know it was possible to have a country when neighbours fear and hate each other this much. Oh well, it's not like it was ever gonna go in a different direction, this was always gonna be the outcome...

it's insane to me how bluepilled even the average hexbear is
this is why I left the country

Yea explain what you mean by that buddy
I believe they probably mean it's kinda lib to think the country just developed into hateful place under Trump. This country has feared and hated its neighbors, literally and figuratively, since its inception.
Hey man, congrats! If you don't mind sharing, where are you residing now?
Go good seeing more of those honourable ACABs with their face covered. Obviously, they know they are on the right side of history.
if I were in command of a city police force and believed that a private paramilitary company was doing crimes in my jurisdiction, I'd simply tell my cops to take the day off and nonviolently hand myself over to the corpos to slap me in cuffs. once Donald Trump realizes how racist it looks, he'll surely have no choice but to change his heart.
you know that the mayor doesn't actually control the cops right
even the chief of police doesn't
it's like saying that Obama was president so there should've been no lynchings in sundown-flyoversville during that span of time
also Obama bad and if he was any good they wouldn't have let him in in the first place
you know that the mayor doesn’t actually control the cops right even the chief of police doesn’t
Enlighten me. What individual has ultimate formal authority over the city cops? Are they an autonomous collective? Does the abstract concept of racism sign their timesheets?

…it’s not at all like saying that, because the two things aren’t analogous. Being president is not equivalent to being the mayor of every municipality in sundown-flyoversville. To entertain your unrelated hypothetical: the office of imperial president could absolutely use the armed forces under their direct control (the military, FBI, marshals, etc.) to physically stop just about any ongoing activity by a tax paying American company inside the territorial boundaries of the US if that’s something the president wanted to do. That Obama personally didn’t and wouldn’t do that to “stop all lynchings” or whatever is obvious, but it’s because he personally didn’t want to do that, not because his office lacked the ability.
That the mayor of Newark chose to engineer his own arrest by a private company inside his own jurisdiction is not evidence that the mayor is an uwu smol bean that has no power over any of the people that work for him or do business in his city, it’s evidence that the mayor of Newark was less interested in using any of the power of his office than he was in creating theater to use in future campaign ads when he runs for governor.
Technically, yeah, but a mayor can hold considerable influence over their city's police departments. I myself have been in situations where a mayor has made a police force do or not do something in partucular.
You know what to do, Ras, balkanize Newark
where is the article link?
If I lived in New Jersey I'd 100% vote for him for this alone.
If recent US political history proves anything, it is that children can not be trusted to inherit the revolutionary character of their parents, but it is worth mentioning Ras Baraka's father, Amiri Baraka.

at least the red diaper apple doesn't fall far from the old party tree
wonder if local pigs have enough jurisdictional rivalry to harass ICE for him
