Yikes. Nothing thrills them like inflicting pain

The devices are known as the G.L.O.V.E., which stands for Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter, and are manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC of Lexington, Kentucky. They have been used in recent years by some jails and police departments.

But where's the $20 million that Congress allocated for body-cams and dash-cams?

JPW is getting a pair of shock gloves to add a little excitement to the truckers he services.

You're going to have to do more than hallucinate that some had their "wheels turned" to some ICE person.

I am frankly amazed that there hasn't been a gun battle between American citizens and this Gestapo on the streets.

That there has not been is a testament to the discipline and good sense of the American people.

But it's inevitable that one day some ICE goon violates a child or a wife such that some armed husband or father feels the need to save them.

Inevitable. And when that happens, there will be no sympathy for "law enforcement".

"I am frankly amazed that there hasn't been a gun battle between American citizens and this Gestapo on the streets."

There have been a few instances where local police rescue a kidnapped citizen from ICE custody.

I have to give Minnesota credit for that. I was watching live video from their streets, which ICE was desperate to turn into a warzone, but the vast majority of people remained peaceful.

Yeah sure... what a ridiculous statement.

You're a clown.

American is being clowned...

The son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, the woman nicknamed "Screaming Mary" who climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and helped take American hostages, has been arrested by ICE along with his wife and son.

They are being processed for deportation over ties to terrorists that were allegedly not disclosed during their immigration interviews.

WTF were these people doing in the US? Is American even a real country?

I wouldn't be surprised to learn some posters here already know. They've been "handled" with them already.

Throwing tear gas at peaceful protesters in hope that they get violent, so ICE can be justified in brutalizing them. That's the MAGA way.

"X has failed you."

It's the Republican algorithm: Believe your audience can't handle the truth.

So is Trump.

His Gestapo was meant to create so much civil unrest, he'd be able to declare martial law.

Our government under Republican rule has done nothing but waste American tax dollars, attack Americans and make life for every American worse.

This is an interesting question.

Growing up I believed America was one nation, "land of the free, home of the brave, from sea to shining sea".

We were Americans living in America.

It wasn't until college, and really coming to the drudge retort that I learned just how much "States" meant to Republicans.

Boaz especially. North Carolina was his kingdom, he ruled it. Boaz wasn't an American, he was Boaz from North Carolina.

Since college my views on America have changed.

We're a union of states, like Europe is a union of countries.

With a strong Federal Government. Based in a constitution ( a compact between the People and a Government of the People). Which relies on Article VI of the Constitution, which establishes that federal laws override conflicting state laws.

While vague wording in the Tenth Amendment and the Commerce Clause leaves room to debate where national authority ends and state power begins.

This debate over federal powers versus state powers started in the American Revolutionary era and took formal shape during the drafting and Ratification Debates of the Constitution in 1787 and 1788. And has been going on ever since.

Welcome to the Debate! The Federal Government ie the executive branch, currently seems to be winning that debate.
