In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is America a police state (if you are not white)?

I’ve just been listening to interviews with people in Minnesota. Lot’s people afraid to leave their homes without taking passports, whistles and pepper spray. People afraid to leave the house at all for fear of being snatched by unidentified masked men and ending up in a different state or country before getting to call someone.

But in the interviews no one who was white expressed any fear or experiences of being held without charge.

The neighbourhoods are crumbling as businesses are disrupted and failing because of the wandering masked groups going door to door and stopping (non-white) people in the street demanding papers. Drones flying overhead over groups of people in the streets.

How long will it take criminals to realise that they can go about their business in broad daylight wearing similar outfits and snatching victims to rob or worse?

How long until someone goes ballistic with a gun to defend themselves from these masked men?

Is this America?

It seems reasonable to characterize MStP as a (federal) police state.

They have already done it in at least small numbers. It's robbery/assault by cop impersonation without the need for a fake uniform or bubble lights.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.
Is this America?
The America that is? Yes. The America we think we lived in? No.

Right now, we are a police state because of the lawbreakers in this country.

lol Criminals have learned a long time ago how to conceal themselves and wear outfits for the job. If a criminal did snatch a victim, expect them to be shot; then there would be another thread started about bad lawenforcement or guns. Lawenforcement didn't need to cover their faces like antifa until the criminals started doxxing them.

Why now? Why is it needed right now? What's changed since 2025 when there was no armed paramilitaries asking to non-white people for their papers?

Lawlessness.

Because we have a bunch of nut cases who have lost control of their emotions, creating violent acts.

Near-open borders helped Trump get elected. If we had collected papers and properly vetted those coming into the country, even the white ones would be caught.

OK? Care to add?
That’s how every police state ever has justified their existence.

The important part to me is you agree we are in fact living in a police state.

If that's what Kirk meant ok but America isn't a police state. It's an insurrection if you try to change the government laws through violence. So law enforcement is fighting an insurrection, which allows for the real military, not the part-timers.

To emphasize what Mr. Kirk was saying, claiming a protest or civil disturbance is an "insurrection" and imposing police control is exactly the sort of thing that is done to create a police state. We're paying attention to their attempts to turn protest and civil unrest into an "insurrection".

Let's see - Authorized law enforcement acting in their constitutional authority are arresting murderers, baby rapist - thugs and illegal Aliens -

The lunatic left passes out whistles - follows them around honking their horns and attempting to blockade the law enforcement officers - shoots fireworks at them - attempts to hit them with vehicles - verbally assaults people during a worship service -

and some think they are the problem?

Unbelievable. FWIW I'm not white and I think they are nutz

That was my interpretation but I’m welcome to being corrected if I read that wrong.

You said yourself that it is.

That hasn’t happened.
So law enforcement is fighting an insurrection, which allows for the real military, not the part-timers.
Are you calling local police part timers?

But why now? Why all this lawlessness now? What is the causal factor? This lawlessness and uncontrolled behaviour was not apparent eight months ago.

What has changed, do you reckon?

It is now and will be for the foreseeable future.

It’s never quite like it is in the movies, is it?
It’s certainly hard to root for the cop who plays by his own rules but gets the job done on the various cop dramas.

Maybe all the killing and property damage isn’t worth the highest arrest rate in the precinct?

They are only after illegal alien criminals. Let them do their job.
It seems they sweep up all the brown people they can find and let god sort them out.
