In ‘Operation Trojan Horse’, masked officers in unmarked vehicle arrest 16 people, despite court order halting raids
US border patrol agents carried out a raid outside a Home Depot in Los Angeles on Wednesday, with officers jumping out of an unmarked rental truck and chasing and arresting more than a dozen people.
Videos of the operation, and federal officials’ statements boasting about the detentions, have raised questions about whether the US government was complying with a federal court order halting indiscriminate raids in the region due to evidence of racial profiling. That ruling, upheld last week by an appeals court, followed reports of Latino US citizens getting swept up in LA raids and accounts of undocumented people being targeted based on their appearance and whether they spoke Spanish.
What laws specifically do you think california should relax on?
The ones Reagan instituted to criminalise Black Panther patrols.
So people without permits should be able to carry loaded weapons in public?
I abhor the reason the law was put in place but at this point in time it isn’t exactly the same weapon it was then. A poor equivalent would be if suddenly it was a law that everyone who went to any protest had to have an individual permit or be swept away. But if that law was enacted 20 years ago you would probably just do the paperwork to get it. This is my understanding of history at least. This isn’t like the black panthers where there is some organized cause with a leader, goal, and message. It’s just random Americans REALLY pissed off on both sides and I’d like for there to be some roadblocks thanks.
If I am way off base apologies. Hisrory really isn’t my strong suit and despite how I may have originally came off I meant it as a discussion
Yes, like most of the country.
It isn’t exactly the same weapon? What do you mean? The AR-15 was first sold in 1963. Weapons today are no deadlier than 60 years ago.
And the AR-15 is basically just a hunting rifle cosplaying as military hardware.
