Immigration advocates said the raids also included four other locations, including a doughnut shop.
It's the pigs natural habitat. Of course they also raided a doughnut shop.
Earlier in the day, armed agents clad in heavy protective and tactical gear, including some who wore gas masks, could be seen on video and through aerial footage pushing individuals and trying to corral large groups that congregated to challenge the raids.
Smoke grenades were reportedly thrown near the crowds and pepper spray was used as the federal officers attempted to clear the area. As the demonstrations continued into the evening, videos showed officers firing less-lethal weapons toward protestors.
What are less-lethal weapons?
Bean bag, taser, etc.
So they can still be used as lethal right? I just find it interesting that the guardian said that.
In the past things like rubber bullets and tasers were termed "non-lethal" weapons, but of course people still die from those. The change in terminology is intended to reflect reality.
One point for The Guardian
“Less than lethal” just means isn’t designed to kill you like a bullet is but most less than lethal stuff fired out of a gun will permanently fuck you up. Someone lost an eye during the George Floyd protests from a less than lethal round. Getting hit by rubber bullets or a bean bag round at close range will easily break bones.
The police have flashbanged a shocking number of babies
Need to somehow cast ICE as more manly and scarier than LAPD. Get the badges to interfere with one another.
If only LAPD would pull a Rodney King on ICE.
