I think that they fail to realize that rule of law is the compromise that protects them too.

Too much time since the last reminder I guess. Next time there will be 4K footage I guess :/

Where was his security team?

If I’m running for mayor I’m having armed men around me at all times.

You pretend to be a cop refuse to identify yourself and try to kidnap me, my guards shoot you to death.

How stupid is that mayoral candidate?

Protect yourselves. These people are fucking Nazis.

It happened in a federal courthouse.

Private security wouldn't be allowed firearms, and cops aren't about to fire on feds. He was there to try to protect immigrants.

Just need to have some loyal cops around the elected official.

Have a real game of thrones situation.

I would imagine he was expecting this. Gives him clout in the race

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Clout is useful when being on social media.

As far as protecting yourself from Nazis?

Makes you a target.

He’s running for mayor of NYC with a D after his name, he’s already a target

And while clout is definitely big on social media, clout with voters is important for politicians too

He's out already. It's a good way to draw attention to yourself and show you're going to stand up to Trump. I don't see Cuomo doing this.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 14 hours ago

In good news, he has been released now after large push-back but absolutely BS to have arrested him in the first place

This is literally a Democrat personally escorting immigrants in and out of immigration court and being unlawfully arrested for the "crime" of demanding to see a warrant from ICE thugs. I get it, but this kneejerk is so unproductive.
