Trump is using the military to occupy a city that hates him. He wants to deport a lot of people, but the city isn't having it so protests have emerged.

From what I've seen, four self driving taxies was burned (the car on the image) by protestors, while the police intentionally shot a news reporter, used a horse to trample a detained protestor, and has deployed marines to the streets.

The federal agency ICE is completely captured by fascists. They are arbitrarily staging immigration crackdowns using hastily deputized agents who arrest people off the street while hiding their identity. They came to Los Angeles, a fervently anti-fascist area. It triggered massive but mostly peaceful protests, and some protestors wave Mexican flags like OP's picture.

Trump is using the protests as a pretext to claim this is an invasion, so he can mobilize the federal military against citizens. The protests are getting more chaotic (by design, since military presence is exacerbating tensions), which causes the police violence to increase, in a vicious cycle.

Old crow coming to rock it

No, it's the wheel of a burning vehicle that's closer than is obvious.

The hole for the lugs & nuts makes it apparent.

headed down south past north carolin'

That bus would have its brake lines cut before Trump's first diaper change.

Yeah, the protestors shouldn't be physically stopping the shutzstaffel from taking people to the camps. They should all get on busses for a two week round trip to inform the president that he violated the constitution when he sent in the marines and they would like him to stop now please if its not too much trouble.

When will these fuvking politically incompetent lefties ever learn?

Could also all be arrested or assaulted on the bus by the gestapo or their KKK supporters

If you weren’t there, what you mean is you haven’t been shown any American flags in the protests.

Anyone who thinks there needs to be more American flags at the protests is welcome to bring them along with themselves. But sitting here criticizing the people actually off their ass and trying to protect democracy and their neighbors is bullshit.

Further, the right is literally never going to see resistance to Trump positively. Anyone who has been on the Fox News drip for the past 20 years is so unhinged that living in California is a crime to them. Asking people whose neighbors and family members have been kidnapped by the federal government to hide their heritage in their protests because it might offend people that already hate them and want them gone is ridiculous. At least if you want to keep those people as allies.

Muh flag

Why the fuck would the protectors wave the flag of the government that is oppressing them?

Why tf would they carry an American flag at a protest. Thats stupid enough for me to assume you are a bot.

Fucking Crayondevourer indeed

You are well within your rights to protest using any flag your like. Don't buy the bullshit. It's called freedom of speech
