This post is from a couple of days ago. We haven't heard anything in the news about federal agents firing upon journalists unprovoked. If they had been, Brian Stelter would have written 50 posts about it. And speaking of journalists, their approval rating is right down there with the Democrats — firing on them would probably sound pretty good to some people, especially the ones "embedded" with Antifa.
There was that one post about an ICE agent pushing a photojournalist and sending him to the hospital in an ambulance.
An ICE officer pushed a photojournalist to the ground today at immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC.

The photojournalist couldn't get up afterwards, and EMS was called. pic.twitter.com/Kpn6T6hQzM
X had some fun with that post.
In any case, Gov. JB Pritzker, who will do anything to keep the federal government from clearing the crime out of Chicago, wonders what other countries would call it if journalists were being fired on unprovoked and federal agents were marching down the street demanding papers.
In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Remember when Tim Walz had his goons firing at citizens just for standing outside on their own property?

Or maybe it’s just called law enforcement. Good try though

Well, I would say "Why did the democratically elected city and regional officials fail at their job so bad the federal government has to intervene?"

You created this by doing nothing. All on you.

The DNCs internal polling revealed that using the terms “fascist” and “fascism” don’t have the same effect like they used to so their new buzzwords on repeat are “authoritarian” and “authoritarianism.”

In another country, if a political party sent their street mob paramilitaries to ‘peacefully provoke’ 🙄 law enforcement — what would we call it?

"Let's not pretend" … classic.
