    “We don’t have to show you anything,” one agent reportedly shot back when asked for ID or a warrant.

    “The crowd was unruly,” police said in a statement, claiming several individuals “put their hands on federal agents and Worcester officers.”

    There’s no reason to believe that they’re federal agents if they refuse to show ID. And there’s no law against putting your hands on gang members kidnapping one of your neighbors while impersonating federal agents. These dipshits are out of control and fucking stupid.

      This is what I don’t understand. What’s then to prevent literally anyone else claiming to be from some other agency to intervene and say they can’t take the person away? And then claim they don’t need to show ID?

        But that’s interesting in of itself. They’re not going after gang members or violent offenders, they’re going for non violent/dangerous people.

        Extremely surprising that it didn’t happen yet.

        Liberals in America should be arming themselves and stockpiling ammo.

          Without civil asset forfeiture and wasteful budgets, would be hard to militarize as much as many US departments

          They’ve been playing Military Police for years now. Good news of course is the dozens of joints they’ve taken off our streets!
