In reply to the discussion: An agent fires the taser at her. At a woman. Inside her own home. For asking for a warrant. [View all]angrychair
(11,734 posts)23. Who is going to hold them accountable?
The very organization meant to enforce the law, the DOJ, is the one doing it.
The problem with our system of government is that is starts from the position that the system is self regulated and ultimately, loyal to the citizens.
It was believed so unlikely that someone with bad intentions could seize total control of the government that we didn't even account for that being a possibility.
Now it's happened and there is very little we can do about it in the short term.
All of our hopes rest in the idea that we still have elections but to be honest, there is no guarantee of that either.

OP
They don't have to cancel election if they can just drop THEIR ballots into the counting machines

There is lack of leadership or this is what leadership wants as they're acting like yahoos, not trained law enforcement.

I also did not see a taser being fired. Unfortunately, I don't think that the OP is accurate.

Unfortunately ICE is giving them warrants signed by ICE or DHS and these are not legal

Yep. And the clown in this vid who showed the warrant showed an administrative warrant instead of one signed by a judge

Did you notice at the very end when they were leaving the ice boy holding the door was shaking his head in agreement

Anyone who doesn't open the door unless they see a warrant is risking their life.
