I mean, thats about as well as it can go. No one escalated the situation. Police tried to assert their authority, citizens protested, police assessment was that there was not really any immediate danger, kept emotions and ego in check, protesters showed their strength and resistance without overstepping. All said, it would be great if most police/protester situations went this smoothly.
Piggy back on top comment - why is everyone screaming at cops / homeland security in the first place? They seems to be set off as soon as the cops arrived. It looked like they were protesting to the cops.
Ay bruh I'd rather it not be televised here. Shits catching on and now we have all of these Clive Palmer posters saying freedom and the boomers will actually believe it's not just so he can open mines for the Chinese anywhere he wants.
I mean her books were based on real events that actually happened across the world. If it could happen somewhere, it can happen anywhere, even here. People aren't that different. I, for one, look forward to the handmaiden costumes women will inevitably be wearing to protest with. The ones from when Gilead sewed their mouths shut were pretty on point with the message.
I like how he got out of his car, sizes up everyone, finds the lone female shorter than him who is just casually walking by then decides she's the problem and he needs to put hands on her. When she finds this ridiculous he gives her a shove and then pulls out his beating stick cause he means business... before realizing he fucked up when the crowd gets in his face and suddenly men are yelling at him to back the fuck up which he promptly does while the guy with the rifle literally hides behind him.
Bro got out of the cop car just repetitively saying ‘back up’ to absolutely nobody like a Rick and Morty character who’s been programmed with only one phrase and a sole purpose to back people up
The police in the USA have really made a rod for their own back. They are associated with aggression, escalation and violence so as soon as they show up anywhere, guess what happens?
It’s believed by many people that the police start shit at peaceful protests to make them violent so they can then Disperse the protesters under the context it was no longer
They're there to support the state, not the people. How many videos have we seen by now of police firing less that lethal munitions into people directly and taking their eye out, they care about their own safety and following whatever orders they're given.
That's the MO: Protest Starts with no/minimal violence, police show up in force and escalate situation, police begin firing tear gas/rubber bullets, riot starts.
A mob with guns storm the fucking capital and nothing happens. A bunch of protestors walking down a public street and suddenly everyone gives a shit. It's so blatant it's only going to make people more upset.
Don’t let our law enforcement let you forget we as Americans have a constitutional right to peacefully protest. About anything, at any time, for any reason
Don't let cops forget all that protects them is ensuring Americans feel the social contract is being respected. They wanna fuck around continually, they're gonna find out eventually.
Notice how much more aggressive he was when he was confronting a single person. So much schoolyard bully 'reapect my authority' vibes until the motherfucker realized that shit doesn't fly when you're outnumbered
I love it when cops get their own tactics thrown back at them. He was aggressive cause he thought him and his goons outnumbered her. As soon as he found out that's not true he sucked his cock n' balls up his ass and retreated instantly like the coward he is.
I mean, he got out of the car and was immediately spit on. Where I'm from, that's an immediate ass-whoopin'. I'd say he handled himself pretty well, all things considered.
Fucking asshats. You don't get to block a street and then claim you're not doing anything. Just back off. They didn't ask to be there and they get to go home.
Ok but why are the protestors being aggressive and getting in their face, though? And then people wonder why they get pepper sprayed or arrested…just entitled foolishness. I don’t really care how upset you are about something, you don’t get to behave like that. But I guess that’s today’s society.
What a dumb ass cop. To cops- does being overly aggressive the moment you see a civilian ever fucking work out for you? I can’t wait for a rebellion. Cops don’t work to protect us they work against us just like this shithole of a government
K I’m all for calling out the cops when they do fucked up shit but I don’t see anything crazy here. It looks like that woman spit on him in the initial video which I’m pretty sure is considered assault.
I am still completely shocked that (at least in the draft) part of the justification for overturning Roe is it caused political strife. As if undoing it would cause a lessening of tension.
Instead of driving in like an action hero, touching a person and not expecting them to get aggrovated, and then saying one signature catchphrase, he should have just communicated like a normal person. He looks like a doofus and only made things worse. He's treating them like criminals and not citizens.
You just wait until republicans send actors to start rioting dressed in protester clothing. They really want to make it look as bad as their insurrection so they will use agitators to turn the crowd into a bunch of violent protesters.
I mean, that cop is doing a pretty decent job of just trying to maintain his space. He started off bad by walking up to a woman and just shoving her after HE approached and then told HER to back off. But after that he kinda just backed off himself and told the people crowding him to back up. But I'm sure it's just a matter of time now before the body count starts, unfortunately :(

Why is DHS even there? Did the local PD call them?
DHS is there along with LAPD
They are probably protesting around or near a federal building
This is getting outta hand. The Bloods, Crips, and Kings need to step in and do something about the crime in this city!
Interagency cooperation. Happens a bunch.
The national guard is for riot control. Unless they're near a federal building, there is no reason for federal officers to be involved.
DHS police have jurisdiction in and around federal buildings and offices, GSA owned and leased. Probably one nearby.
Piggy back on top comment - why is everyone screaming at cops / homeland security in the first place? They seems to be set off as soon as the cops arrived. It looked like they were protesting to the cops.
The Federal Protective Service are cops who are in charge of protecting federal property.
It's riot season gentlemen. Shits bout to get goofy
Season 3 of America is looking pretty lit ngl
Drives into middle of swarm of protesters and gets excited when he sees he's surrounded
Yeah, the cops should probably stop showing up and starting riots.
It's always riot season when it comes to cops.
Gonna be some good content popping up soon.
I can't wait for Ben Shapiro's hot take about how they should submit their concerns in writing or whatever bullshit he comes out with.
gonna be pretty ironic if the police kill anyone during these protests...
Just like how it's ironic that a cop who tased a pregnant woman in Florida (causing her to miscarry) wasn't charged with murder
The real irony is some of the "prolife" crowd desperately wishing for that to happen. Disgusting.
As an Australian, the 3rd Season of America trailer has already got me pumped
What’s the first and second season?
Idk it's getting boring to see train wreck after train wreck
Ay bruh I'd rather it not be televised here. Shits catching on and now we have all of these Clive Palmer posters saying freedom and the boomers will actually believe it's not just so he can open mines for the Chinese anywhere he wants.
🦘🍿
As a French person, I'm glad our local spin-off was cancelled.
I'm starting to believe Margaret Atwood is some sort of mystic
I mean her books were based on real events that actually happened across the world. If it could happen somewhere, it can happen anywhere, even here. People aren't that different. I, for one, look forward to the handmaiden costumes women will inevitably be wearing to protest with. The ones from when Gilead sewed their mouths shut were pretty on point with the message.
You may be right, but I'm not looking forward to hundreds of thousands of American refugees. Speaking as a Canadian of course.
“Homeland Security” sounds like a phrase coined by Orwell
The Department of Defense used to be called The Department of War.
Now that I agree with.
Department of "Defense" drops a bomb on a foreign country 50 times a day.
Reddit liked it three days ago when it was going to facilitate the ministry of truth.
jack booted brown shirts
Almost as bad as the board of misinformation the dems just started
He thought he was the man for about 20 seconds
BaCk Up
Those legs went into reverse, real quick!
I like how he got out of his car, sizes up everyone, finds the lone female shorter than him who is just casually walking by then decides she's the problem and he needs to put hands on her. When she finds this ridiculous he gives her a shove and then pulls out his beating stick cause he means business... before realizing he fucked up when the crowd gets in his face and suddenly men are yelling at him to back the fuck up which he promptly does while the guy with the rifle literally hides behind him.
Dude tried to pick on what he thought was the weakest target. He didn't expect them to confront. He's terrified like a cornered animal.
That was him just roll playing when he get's home, wife beater and chief.
He's a pussy is what he is.
You mean when he assaulted a lone woman, before a few men checked him?
He definitely came rolling in looking for a fight. Doesn’t look like policing to me.
Bro got out of the cop car just repetitively saying ‘back up’ to absolutely nobody like a Rick and Morty character who’s been programmed with only one phrase and a sole purpose to back people up
Ironically, he was the only person in the video that backed up.
He’s an NPC and a badly written one at that
Like when a dog gets let out of the car and starts barking at absolutely nothing.
My man!
His hair is kinda neat tho
KICKIN' ASS.
Keep summer safe.
My man!
My man!
And then proceeded to get totally surrounded by the protestors, can see why he became a cop.
"back off" - a dude that just walked closer to someone so he could shove them. Lmfao
And then he did the backing up
Hey look! The cops showed up. There goes the peaceful protest.
Johnny Law not exactly holding his line there
Amazing they could show up so fast… where were these response times on January 6th I wonder?
DHS cop takes about 15 seconds before escalating to physical contact with someone walking by, then a photographer not much later.
6 seconds after leaving his car the cop assaults someone.
The police in the USA have really made a rod for their own back. They are associated with aggression, escalation and violence so as soon as they show up anywhere, guess what happens?
Highly doubt this protest was “peaceful”
I’ve noticed that certain Police and federal departments show up and get violent when the people protesting have a legit reason to protest.
It’s believed by many people that the police start shit at peaceful protests to make them violent so they can then Disperse the protesters under the context it was no longer
They're there to support the state, not the people. How many videos have we seen by now of police firing less that lethal munitions into people directly and taking their eye out, they care about their own safety and following whatever orders they're given.
Almost like people who are drawn to police work are authoritarian shit stains
Yeah about 104% of them, with a 4% margin of error.
That's the MO: Protest Starts with no/minimal violence, police show up in force and escalate situation, police begin firing tear gas/rubber bullets, riot starts.
Exercising one’s right to peaceful protest is a legal equivalent to buying milk.
But when violent right wing insurrectionists show up, the hold the doors for them.
Precisely. And then the news reports it as “protesters violently clashing with police” as if the police didn’t show up and instigate everything
[удалено]
Where were they on Jan 6th?
They were there just not in uniform
In LA
In the crowd
Letting them inside the capitol.
[удалено]
A mob with guns storm the fucking capital and nothing happens. A bunch of protestors walking down a public street and suddenly everyone gives a shit. It's so blatant it's only going to make people more upset.
Probably in California.
In LA?
The officers who killed a riotor for breaking into the capital?
Don’t let our law enforcement let you forget we as Americans have a constitutional right to peacefully protest. About anything, at any time, for any reason
If I'm not mistaken, you have the right to protest violently as well, it's called the second amendment
Lmao that’s one thing you have in the US that we don’t have in Britain. The government essentially neutered our right to protest this week :))
We only have that right if it's protected. That right was trampled all over during the 2020 police brutality protests and nothing was ever done about.
Don't let cops forget all that protects them is ensuring Americans feel the social contract is being respected. They wanna fuck around continually, they're gonna find out eventually.
Police officers are meant to de-escalate situations... particularly in cases like this involving large crowds.
It’s almost like he wants to instigate something and use force to reach that desperately needed power trip he craves.
Yeah it's what I'm thinking too. I work in private security and this is a classic case of how NOT to handle it.
Notice how much more aggressive he was when he was confronting a single person. So much schoolyard bully 'reapect my authority' vibes until the motherfucker realized that shit doesn't fly when you're outnumbered
I love it when cops get their own tactics thrown back at them. He was aggressive cause he thought him and his goons outnumbered her. As soon as he found out that's not true he sucked his cock n' balls up his ass and retreated instantly like the coward he is.
Step 1: get out of my car and push a girl to immediately establish myself as the enemy, yeah that'll go over nicely
They want to escalate.
Step one was driving that car so close to a crowd of people.
I mean she did walk up and spit on him
You skipped a whole bunch of steps. Don’t spit on me. and I’ll defend myself for that
Nice escalation. Wasn't there for more than 30 seconds before he started shoving folks.
Hell he was barely there for 5!
It's literally 5 seconds before he assaulted that woman
The police need to calm down an act like these protesters are storming Congress.
The police need to calm down an act like these protesters are Republicans storming Congress.
"Backup" as he follows his own commands.
Regardless of how tough you appear, if you get swallowed up by an angry crowd, you die.
Maybe he shouldn't have started right off the bat being aggressive with that person. That seemed to really set the crowd off. Rightfully so.
trying to lead the protesters into a kettle, classic police tactic
the people are getting agro
January 6 developed over many hours in broad daylight and we certainly never saw any response like this.
no, you back off...
Lmao this is what they choose to stop but fucking SIDESHOWS get to keep on going?
It’s going to be a hot summer I have a feeling.
And the oh so Suttle shove at the media guy.
Subtle, if you're interested. There's a joke about the spelling, saying something like:
There’s only one person backing up in that video
Why don't cops talk to people ... like show some support for the people and help actually keep the peace...
Not their job. They protect and serve property.
Ok so DHS is being aggresive? Looks like the protesters are being aggresive, the guy didn't even raise his voice.
bro this is the least aggressive “aggressive” police officer I’ve ever seen lmao
I mean, he got out of the car and was immediately spit on. Where I'm from, that's an immediate ass-whoopin'. I'd say he handled himself pretty well, all things considered.
They can't wait to use the new tactics they learned in Israel
And usa is worried about human rights violation in other countries
The American government does not consider it's subjects to be human thus there is no worry about violating human rights.
Why are there Soviet flags in the crowd?
I was wondering same thing.
Fucking asshats. You don't get to block a street and then claim you're not doing anything. Just back off. They didn't ask to be there and they get to go home.
Ok but why are the protestors being aggressive and getting in their face, though? And then people wonder why they get pepper sprayed or arrested…just entitled foolishness. I don’t really care how upset you are about something, you don’t get to behave like that. But I guess that’s today’s society.
God Los Angeles is a fucking shithole
Doesn’t seem like they are the ones being aggressive to me?
“Back up!” screaming while backing up
Firing at innocent civilians on their porch:
I just got my vehicle broken into today. I chase away the dude and he dropped his tools. They didn't even bother getting finger prints.
Police arent taking prints unless its a murder or bank robbery.
What a dumb ass cop. To cops- does being overly aggressive the moment you see a civilian ever fucking work out for you? I can’t wait for a rebellion. Cops don’t work to protect us they work against us just like this shithole of a government
Yet the dept of homeland security has no way of stopping or investigating domestic white terrorist cells. Smmfh.
Gah, I wish womens rights in USA didn't have to be fought for by people with communist flags...
The grand old American tradition of beating and arresting protesters. Wonderful...
K I’m all for calling out the cops when they do fucked up shit but I don’t see anything crazy here. It looks like that woman spit on him in the initial video which I’m pretty sure is considered assault.
Saying back up is aggressive 🙄
The fear in that cops eyes makes my dick hard
Wtf is Homeland Security doing there?
Seems like the protest is more aggressive to the police then they are to them
What a bunch of degenerates.
The aggressor definitely seems like the “protesters”
You don't have a police force, you have a badly trained army with zero accountability.
this is aggressive? lol
Police when people on the left protest: "GET DOWN ON THE GROUND NOW, I WILL SHOOT YOU IN THE HEAD"
how DARE mere citizens protest their subjugation!
Hmmm it’s almost like driving your car into a group of angry people and acting like bully does absolutely nothing to help the situation
They are out of their jurisdiction. Abortion and national security have zero to do with each other. Fucking stupid fucking world.
An excuse to beat women with batons? Every cop's wet dream.
Giving his wife the night off, how sweet
Who's aggressive here?
Why is there a Soviet flag in the background
[удалено]
Na this is just a mostly peaceful protest
“Time to crack heads for the state!” - cops probably.
Typical pig, doesn't take more than 15 seconds until he escalates the situation with violence with a protestor walking by.
The pigs have arrived wooo
As an ex cop who trained in civil disorder tactics, that guy needs some training. Or anger management. Maybe both.
Lol I love right when he gets out he just looks around and shoves someone for no reason and immediately escalates the situation. Simply ridiculous.
Cops only escalate situations.
Where tf was DHS on Jan 6th??
Surprising literally no one
I am still completely shocked that (at least in the draft) part of the justification for overturning Roe is it caused political strife. As if undoing it would cause a lessening of tension.
The cop with the bean bag gun is like fuck man i should’ve went to trade school and became a welder
Back up.
Instead of driving in like an action hero, touching a person and not expecting them to get aggrovated, and then saying one signature catchphrase, he should have just communicated like a normal person. He looks like a doofus and only made things worse. He's treating them like criminals and not citizens.
"I know, I'll shove this woman that's a foot shorter than me for no reason. That'll de-escalate the tension here."
The crowd is agressive not the cops. Wtf is this title ?
You just wait until republicans send actors to start rioting dressed in protester clothing. They really want to make it look as bad as their insurrection so they will use agitators to turn the crowd into a bunch of violent protesters.
Police is problem, not solution
Way to go Meg
At The End Where He Shoves The Reporter Just Trying To Get Past Just A Piece Of Shit Move
Everyone start calling them pigs again. Read up on the Black Panther Party and the EZLN.
I like how half the dudes in the protest look like they can’t even make a baby.
God, my generation is so emotional.
She didn't have to spit at him for no reason though? I'm just as pissed about the Roe leak as anyone else here but that's just low class
Those protesters are looking for trouble!
I mean, that cop is doing a pretty decent job of just trying to maintain his space. He started off bad by walking up to a woman and just shoving her after HE approached and then told HER to back off. But after that he kinda just backed off himself and told the people crowding him to back up. But I'm sure it's just a matter of time now before the body count starts, unfortunately :(
This is exactly why a Republican leaked the report. Now, they're on TV crying about how dangerous the left is while they take away our rights.
Should read: The Department of Homeland Security and protesters are getting aggressive in Downtown Los Angeles at the pro-choice protest
Honest Question :
Oh, is telling them to back up "aggressive" now?
Shoves the first person he see’s.
it seems like the protestors were way more aggressive here...?
I liked when his eyebrows went from down to up
It’s going to get a lot worse
Goons
It is always a refreshing sight seeing our public officials back up to we the people
Stupid macho piece of trash. That person didn't even touch that idiot, just laughed at him and he got all mad. Control your emotions, man.
