Video: First Detention Of Civilian By Marines

[Voluntarist]

US Marines carry out first known detention of civilian in Los Angeles

Marines deployed to Los Angeles temporarily detained a civilian on Friday, the U.S. military confirmed after being presented with Reuters images, in the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed there by President Donald Trump.

The incident took place at the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles where Marines took charge of the mission to protect the building earlier on Friday, in a rare domestic use of U.S. troops after days of protests over immigration raids.

A brown civilian. Should be noted

What? No concern for the health and safety of the marines?

They have excellent training in detaining brown people. This is what they signed up for

Well, he did have military training - he's a US military veteran, which makes him capable of killing someone with a pencil. Oh wait, never mind, that was John Wick. He became a US citizen through the military. He was on his way to Veterans Affairs when he noticed the Marines telling him to stop. The marines evidently found him to be suspicious, because Veterans Affairs has been DOGEd and no one should be going there.

But his advice for Americans going forward is simple and straight forward:

“It reminds you to take a big compliance with everything that they say"

Say it. Embrace it. "I comply, sir!"

Better behaved than the police.

Better behaved than the police.

Yeah, well, they can escalate a hell of a lot further than the police can. At the very least, this is a completely retarded waste of resources. At worst, it's a powder-keg waiting for some civil-rights-destroying neoCON agent to come along and light the final last shred of the Constitution on fire. If there is a general unrest requiring military assets to back up the national guard or State police, I guess that makes sense, but the idea of such operations is that the military provides hard defense of operational bases, convoys, and other logistical components so that the police can continue to do their job, not to act as warm-bodies standing around. Marines do not and should not have the sort of training suitable for interacting with civilian unrest. Their role is to lay down ungodly amounts of firepower and cause as much death and destruction per square-meter as humanly possible, whether that be for embassy fire-support, beach landing support, boarding hostile ships (their historical origin) or other heavy-fire roles. Putting them on the street like this is stupid beyond words, and potentially as dangerous as it is stupid.

Doesn't matter, Trump is well justified in using the military for this insurrection/invasion.
They should be using live ammo.

No doubt the fact that there are citizens in the middle of it doesn't change your viewpoint at all.

Not at all, I said Insurrection as well as Invasion.

The law is on Trump's side and using live ammunition against violent protesters attempting murder against law enforcement is completely justified.

The law is on Trump's side and using live ammunition against violent posters attempting murder against law enforcement is completely justified.

Which "posters" would you like to shoot first?

I can't decide if it is more justified to use the military to keep me locked in my house because a flu is going around, or to arrest people walking near a federal building in the middle of the day, absent any protest or riot, and certainly no "insurrection" going on.

I can remember a bit from the Kent State murders and it seemed like there were a minority of boobuses that regurgitated Swordy-esque bile about how they had it coming and "we support our troops" nonsense.

But I think that the majority of citizens were shocked at the disproportionate and unnecessary use of force.

Fast forward to now. I think boobus would cheer the mowing down of protesters by the kops and military.

And Big Orange One would pop a woody from it and might even get Miss Lindsey to rub it out for him.

He won't be upset until they start raiding Mothers' basements to round up non-working sons and put them to work in the fields as replacements for the migrant workers they've been deporting

Me, for one. I might even be at the top of @Swordsmyth 's list

The first ones to attempt to use deadly force against me as part of a "protest".

And there absolutely is an insurrection going on, they have used explosives as well as throwing bricks and various other forms of deadly force in their attacks on ICE and other law enforcement.
