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.

Its not that they're self driving; it's that they're covered in cameras and the cops have live access.

Edit: and apparently root access to the whole car.

It's worse than that. The waymos were originally ordered by protesters wishing to leave the area. Sheriff didn't like that, so they asked waymo directly to lock down the cars so they couldn't be used to "flee the area". Waymo complied and stranded people in the middle of this mess, and the crowd decided to help them out and express their displeasure at waymo for capitulation to the gestapo. I hope whatever insurance waymo has denies all their claims and forces them to eat the loss.

Oh. You have outlined a scenario where im on team insurance company.

[–] Dragomus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have not seen this information anywhere, it should be brought to attention more.

Everywhere it is "rioters ordered the waymos, they arrived empty and then were set on fire".

[–] LordGimp@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

Technically correct, but definitely missing context. I picked it up watching FilmThePoliceLA Sunday when he was talking to people around the waymos before thy were set on fire.

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.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you. I have no idea what happened to LA this past few days, i know there's a protest and there's police violence against protestors and there's chaos, beyond that i'm very much in the dark.

'Captured'

I would say 'founded and staffed', but yes.

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

The hole for the lugs & nuts makes it apparent.

This is populist violence and outrage that would be better directed in an organised bus-to-washington program that would only attract the politically committed (and ideally more disciplined).

They could be briefed on the bus.

[–] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] BigLime@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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?

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is the same playbook they use. Russia do it, Germany do it, France do it, Canada do it, Israel do it.

We saw congress representatives ignoring people questions, and sometime not even showing up for meetings.

The whole idea is to represent people, but they ignore your voice.

They take your right, they ignore your peaceful protest, and then criminalize your peaceful protest, then arrest you.

When you try to resist symbolically “Thrown rock at a tank” they escalate the response and claim you are violent.

Then they tell you “should protest peacefully” so they can again ignore you and retaliate silently.

The US history is full with peaceful protest, useful protest did nothing and never done any thing useful.

When the protest start taking rich people income that when we see a quick change.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

to represent people

Yes, and in fact we're making little 3d printed commemorative statues of everyone who gets on the busses; one of each for each of us, plus one for the president! So he knows we mean business!

but they ignore your voice

Thats why the little statues and the silent protest. We've booked a closet across (the street) from the oval office to make our silence more poigniant, while standing with our lgbt brothers and sisters (but not other siblings. We don't want to make a bad impression!) This pride month.

they take your right

Lets see them try to take our right to remain silent then! I bet they cant! It's in the constitution!

throw a rock at a tank

No please. That's violent and scary and what a fascist would do i bet

history is

Fucking nerd

i will literally send mecha-robespierre to murder you

Reported for violence!
