Should ICE shoot rock throwing protesters? (Poll)

[Delldude]

throwing rocks is a deadly attack and responding with deadly force to it is not abuse.

Hmmm...... didn't some little guy take out a huge person, way 'back in the day ' with a rock?

Why aren't you Trump Rumpers asking yourselves WHY this is happening in the first place? You idiots really think any of those farmworkers are Tren de Aragua?

Trump and his AG Barbie have pivoted vastly from going after gang members to people picking farm produce. Trump wants all brown-skinned people gone.

He flip-flopped on letting farmers keep their undoc workers so if they all run away, Trump will have lied to us again about getting food prices down....("ON DAYONE"!)

Until He found out many were using stolen ID.
You do remember the piles of IDs left on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande don't you?

OMG..... I'm thinking the use of phrases like rock group, rock and roll, rock the cradle, get your rocks off and so on may need to be addressed in the woke prism.....

except you conveniently are ignore there is no difference between throwing a rock and firing a weapon at the police.

Yes, the law may allow lethal force—but that doesn’t make it wise. Take Salt Lake City in 2015: officers shot a teenager over a metal pipe amid a crowd, sparking disorder and mistrust. Contrast that with the Standing Rock protests, where law enforcement responded to rock‑throwing with water cannons, teargas, and communication—no live rounds—and ultimately contained the situation. One escalated chaos; the other maintained control. ICE should neutralize cartel influence by protecting U.S. citizens with discipline, not fear—enforcing the law without feeding the violence the cartels count on.

when California REFUSES to support Federal law enforcement in the field what makes you think they will bring water canons to help out?

 

[Man With A Plan]

If they shouldn’t have shot people who were clubbing them with ladders, crutches, aluminum poles, spraying them with bear spray, throwing fire extinguishers at them, physically assaulting them (think about 1/6) ...then they shouldn’t shoot them for throwing rocks, right?

Did you forget about the unarmed woman protester that they DID shoot without warning for breaking a window? Oh, but that was fine...right, Candy?

 

[Blisterfinger]

Killing people for throwing rocks? Isn't that a third world country type of thing?

The activity would stop immediately

 

[toobfreak]

No it isn't. I can see the car coming. I can't see the rock till it's close.

Look, these rocks are being thrown with deadly intent and force. End of discussion. When any LEO is faced with deadly force, they return in kind to kill the threat.

Just remember: Ashli Babbitt was just a small, unarmed girl walking through a doorway in a public building and every leftist here justified Byrd shooting her dead. No warning, no aiming at the legs, no rubber bullet, no shot fired over her head. They celebrated her death with glee.

Now these people are ATTACKING federal agents with intent to kill with a deadly weapon!

No discussion: blow the bastards away.

Let 1-2 of these assholes get taken out at the next ICE confrontation and watch just how fast these idiots back down.

Let them cry about it on the 6 o'clock news.

One of the rioters in California appears to have shot at ICE agents with a hand gun...when are you on the left going to put a stop to this bullshit, Candy? They all need to be arrested and charged Federally. Anyone that is behind these violent riots financially needs to be charged under RICO statutes. I'm tired of these cowards getting away with rioting for MONTHS in our streets! Time to put them in jail for a long, long time!

My thoughts are for such use of NLWs.
I'd bet the reason they haven't been used is things hadn't escalated to that point. Now the Dems are actively pushing for violence, of course at someone else's risk.
I'm thinking they're going to be deployed.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Just wait. It's going to happen where ICE agents do use deadly force against these people. Not a matter of if, but when.

 

[toobfreak]

ICE has same gear Local PD or Sheriffs have ( Straw man argument )

Need I point out that many of these ICE attackers come dressed in PPE designed to withstand moderate attacks like a rubber bullet to maybe even small arms fire?

 

[Concerned American]

I was outraged that ICE did not shoot protesters throwing rocks at their vehicles at close range as seen in the video.
Obviously a case of "self-defense".
I'm also outraged that the vehicles that taxpayers paid for are being severely damaged.

Demonstrators throw projectiles at cars following ICE raids on Southern California farm

A confrontation erupted Thursday between protesters and federal officials carrying out a raid on a Southern California farm.

Trump wants them arrested. Fine. But throwing rocks or shooting fireworks should not be tolerated. We know that many protesters are armed and love to ambush ICE agents.

If Nazi Piglosi's henchmen can get away with murdering unarmed rioters who are guilty of vandalism and trespass in a public building, these thugs that throw rocks and Molotov cocktails should be mowed down.

Gas masks too.

 

[Tyrion234]

Shooting a rock thrower, or three, would simply escalate the problem. The rock throwers would show up with guns the next time. "Aim for the mask!"

Then shoot them again, they will learn

If I were Tom Homan I would schedule another raid and I would have a large force of ICE agents standing by to deploy and arrest anyone who impeded that raid. Bring in the busses. Bring in the zip ties. Anyone that even looks cross eyed at an agent gets arrested for assault on a police officer.
Rinse and repeat. It's time to end this crap.

 

[toobfreak]

I disagree. If you allow a bad act to go unpunished, you get more of it.

Case in point: just anyone who has ever been a parent how it goes when you let your small children call your bluff.
