      I think they’re saying it to a positive way to the person who posted the video. Iow, what’s being done by the people is working and this is an example of ICE being forced to escalating in response.

        Local orgs are saying much the same thing, framing this as ICE being forced to retreat because of the rapid community response.

        Everyone and anyone, be ready to film these encounters if you see them and post them somewhere. This shit spreads like wildfire in local communities, people will show up. And it also raises awareness. This is a very popular pizza place that chuds also enjoy

      eh, idk i didn’t post the clip as a dunk. this poster (who isn’t a mr. btw) might overstate the position a bit, there’s definitely a lot of police overreach here and these fascists will increasingly be looking for the excuse to use their kit, but they’ve been raiding businesses for months in increasingly brazen fashion and in basically all cases they haven’t drawn a crowd big enough to count as that excuse for use of force. i think i land somewhere in the middle; it may not be “mass spontaneous resistance” yet, but people are slowly getting more agitated about this bullshit, and the fascists are scared of that turning into mass resistance, and so they’re gonna start overreaching more often.
