It's nice to see people standing up to ICE all across the country. They're being painted as criminals by the state (i.e. Trump), but REAL American citizens know that these people are heroes. Fuck ICE, fuck the cops that support ICE, and a very special double fuck you to Trump and his sycophants - hell has a dark hole waiting for all of you traitors.

By the state and most media. I can't believe how many people I know called LAs protests a riot because of the highlights of a tiny fraction of violence. Hell, given how ICE acts, part of me wishes it actually was a violent response since we're damned either way.

Every single one of those fuckers calling it a riot had either pictures of ice assaulting people with clubs, rubber jacketed metal bullets and tear gas, or the exact same picture of one singular car on fire. I have to wonder if it was ice that set the car on fire for the photo op.

The fachist... I mean, the cops hate Wemo cars. They can't arrest the driver when they are pissed. Would not put it past them to light them on fire.

I think the waymo cars were a single person's thing, and there was some rock throwing at cops, and graffiti on everything, but in any large group you'll have a handful of people like that. It's far from a riot, I've seen people so worse after a sporting event.

No, as always its probably media representation, which isn't always to propagandize (although Fox certainly is); dramatic events get better ratings. People calling it riots are watching network TV news, ugh.
