Lyrics excerpt ...

...
To be or not to be
That's the question unceasingly
But without you I would long to be yours to be

Cause without you I'm not a king

Cause without you it will never do
Cause I can't think what life would be like without you
...

Zzzzzzzzz.Zzzzzzzz.Zzzzzzz.

Booorring.

Get Relevant Fella..

Remember all those IRS agents Biden was hiring? Well they wouldn't be much different than ICE is today, only their victims would be different.
Given what I am seeing in everyones attitude, America is one or two more transitions from collapsing.

You are actually special.

And it does seem to be intentional trolling.

Jefferson Airplan - Volunteers (1969)

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
"Volunteers" by Paul Kanter and Marty Balin appears on the 1969 Jefferson Airplane album of the same name.

Jefferson Airplane broke from their psychedelic groove to make this anti-war anthem.

Kanter said he got the idea from a "Volunteers of America" bumper sticker that was pasted on the side of a garbage truck.

[Verse 1]
Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Hey, I'm dancing down the street
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution, got to revolution

[Bridge]
One generation got old
One generation got sold
This generation got no destination to hold
Pick up the cry

[Verse 2]
Hey, now it's time for you and me
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Come on now, we're marching to the sea
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Who will take it from you, we will and who are we?

[Chorus]
We are volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
See rock shows near East Windsor
Get tickets as low as $45

I've got a revolution
Oh, got a revolution

[Verse 1]
Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Hey, I'm dancing down the street
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution

[Chorus]
We are volunteers of America
Yeah, we're volunteers of America
We're volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America

This comes from a devout Baptist and West Point graduate: c8.alamy.com

Communist Democrat Party leaders need to cool their rhetoric before they incite more useless idiots into violence and getting hurt.

Republicans say this is keeping America safe:
www.reddit.com

I'll let you in on a secret.

Police have been trained to prioritize officer safety. The effect is that the only lives that matter to the police are theirs. Police lives matter, not yours, not mine. In any confrontation, by invoking the magic incantation "officer safety", he is able to take actions that would put civilians in prison or worse.

Inciting the base to make viral clips and score political points is all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

"Police have been trained to prioritize officer safety."

Why aren't police trained to prioritize civilian safety?

Questions Republicans can't answer.

Show us the "officer safety" taking place in the video in #24.

You think you really got something there. You find some video of some random event that went sideways and think ALL cops are guilty.

LOL What a moron.

Why aren't police trained to prioritize civilian safety?

Over what? Their own safety? That would imply the civilian is attempting to maim or injure them, and the officer should just let them do it.

Sorry its perfectly reasonable for the police to have their safety as a priority when dealing with hostile civilians.

You are actually special.

True, you will just never know how

That's another part of police training, control and dominance. It's ironic but police training combined with poor judgement has a tendency to escalate conflict rather deescalate it. When you're being tackled on the concrete go limp, if you put your hands out to break your fall, it's called resisting.

Police are certainly trained to escalate violence.

But how is that ironic?

Not seeing the irony.
Just seeing the thuggery.

"When you're being tackled on the concrete go limp, if you put your hands out to break your fall, it's called resisting."

Again, just thuggery.
Just an excuse for violence.

Onenut has the typical Totalitarian mindset of unassimilated Chinese.

He hates China but wants Chinese Communist Values here.

Total Fealty to Law enforcement is NOT an American Tradition. We are a Nation of Lawbreakers and Individualists,

You don't get this country,at all, dude.

Donnerboy is America.

His Values, not your's or Trump's define our Past.

For Good or Ill.

---- off.

"ALL cops are guilty."

No Commie Spyboy. Just the ones that obviously are. Like the one who murdered Renee Nicole Good and the one who murdered George Floyd.

But obviously those are only the ones who were caught on camera (which they hate and wish to make a federal crime). You think they are the only ones abusing their authority?

Nope. Obviously not. Where there is smoke there is fire.

There is Nothing More Quintessentially American than Resisting Arbitrary Authority.

Often...With Violence.

America was born in Violence and Disobedience; To Recognized Authority.

Its in our Political DNA.

It's perhaps,the Only Truly Exceptional thing about Us as a "People"....or Was.

Yes, Officer Ross' phone footage is evidence.

Re 34

Thanks for the kind words.

For better or for worse!

Contrary to maga beliefs escalating the situation is not and should not be the goal of law enforcement.

And with the proper training that can be avoided.

Police departments that teach Akido would have less violent encounters and a more cooperative public.

The Aikido mindset should be at the core of every aspect of police action.

Akido even combined with poor judgement de-escalates the situation by definition.

"It's ironic but police training..."

"Police training" includes instructions to only discharge their weapon as a last resort.

NO HONEST BROKER can watch the video and conclude it's the only choice the officer had.

He wanted to shoot. His whole demeanor was threatening and aggressive.

Not someone who should have the power of life and death over anyone.

Qualified immunity is BS.

Especially for ICE. They are Not Real Cops.

They are Thugs given immunity to Persecute the public to create Fear and compel Obedience to Arbitrary Authority.

Brownshirts, in the Nazi parlance.

Communist Democrat Party leaders need to cool their rhetoric before they incite more useless idiots into violence and getting hurt.

You need to STFU because nobody wants to hear your anti-American bulls*&^.

You are free to F-Around and maybe you will Find Out. But realize this, the majority of people that think like you are really dumb and easily influenced. It's irresponsible to encourage them to find out what happens when you cross John Law.

Look the ---- around you, bro. EVERYONE is alarmed with this developing terrorist activity.

Your man was not injured and if he was admitted to a hospital there will be people who confirm what is what.

Can't wait for Ross' phone footage released.

Maybe he's also involved in some alarming group chats - I wouldn't doubt it.

It's obvious ICE are lawless.

When he is arrested and his computer confiscated we'll find all kinds of terrifying crap, imo.

Can't wait for Ross' phone footage released.

It already has been. My question: when did they start teaching ICE to pull their guns one handed while recording civilians on their phones?

What happened to Trump when He crossed John Law?

34 Felonies, no Time,got Reelected.

He Said he could shoot someone on fifth avenue and lose No Votes.

Stick your Law and Order -------- where the Sun don't Shine.

Law and Order only matters when Law means Justice not Impunity.

The American Revolution was about resisting unjust laws.

Trump is Claiming Perogatives that King George 2 Never Dreamed of.

Where is the Spirit of American Liberty today?

In the Minds and Hearts of Resistance to Trump's Lawlessness and Arbitrary Demands for Absolute Control on His Terms.

The Spirit of '76 would be Appalled by the Cringing Fealty of Modern MAGA.

Morons more Nazi than American.

More Monarchist than Revolutionary.

What the Hell Happened to this Country?

What's so Damned Great about Donald Trump Anyhow?

wHe can't even Talk Coherently.

I guaran damn tee that it is against training and policy for some ICE guy to be recording civilian confrontations on his cell phone.

Unless there's a Kyle Rittenhouse type judge, a jury is going to hand Ross his butt.

it's also against training and policy to draw your gun with one hand while the other is holding a cell phone.

Jonathan Ross is not a professional anything. He's an angry guy with small glans energy.

"Can't wait for Ross' phone footage released."

#45 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2026-01-09 03:57 PM

Ah, you are correct - the phone is reflected in the SUV. My earlier link was mislabled as bodycam footage. Does that exist as well, or does ICE just rely on phones?

His Tom Peterson haircut is very 50's reminiscent, along with that attitude.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and bet that Jonathan Ross has a history of domestic violence, at least since his PTSD from June.

From what I understand, the June incident was he broke a car window and the driver pulled away, so umm, yeah.

Yeah, his arm got caught in the window and he was dragged 50 feet. 30 stitches.

Dude's probably got PTSD. Shouldn't be working this job.

Palate cleanser:

There's a new horror movie set in a retirement home.

Night of the Assisted Living Dead

Derek Smalls, David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel

Is that on video or "reported" by ICE/DHS?

#51 There is video of it. He broke the back window and reached in to try to unlock the back door. The driver drove off with his arm still reaching in. The guy doesn't appear to be the brightest bulb in the bunch.

PTSD is irrelevant. It sounds like he shouldn't be working the job because he's a psycho.

That's a fair assessment. I just found it humorous that JD Prance was trying to excuse this psycho by bringing up the June incident.

"JD Prance was trying to excuse this psycho"

No one is or should be surprised.

They literally started their lies and propaganda and misinformation campaign before the woman they just murdered was even cold.

@#11 ... You win the Stupid Award. ...

Again.

How many times is it now?

He broke the back window and reached in to try to unlock the back door.

Republicans support breaking out car windows.

Republicans say it's legal for police to break out your car window if the police suspect you might be in the United States without legal authorization.

Mere suspicion is enough for the police to violently arrest you and forcibly remove you from your vehicle.

Republicans wouldn't have it any other way.

@#61 ... Mere suspicion is enough for the police to violently arrest you and forcibly remove you from your vehicle. ...

Police or ICE?

There is a legal difference, from what I understand. A very legal difference that allows ICE agents to act in ways that current law prevents police officers from acting. (should I re-post the link?)

Which may be why Pres Trump has dedicated so much money to increasing the number of ICE agents, instead of using that money to help state and local police efforts.

The only limits of Pres Trump's actions reside in his own mind.

imo, of course.

... only by obeying commands from federal agents do you "get to keep your life." ...

Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next (1998)

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

... This is about the Spanish Civil War, and the idealism of people from around the world who volunteered to be part of the International Brigade fighting Franco's fascist army.

[Verse 1]
The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists

Bullets for your brain today
But we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder

[Chorus]
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next

[Verse 2]
Gravity keeps my head down
Or is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain?

Holes in your head today
But I'm a pacifist
I've walked La Ramblas
But not with real intent

[Chorus]
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next
...
