1. Wow he's a lot older than I thought

Good for him.

2. Jesus...he withstood the beating those federal cowards gave him...strong like

bull...I hope the surgery on his hand is successful. I believe DHS needs to be disbanded when Biden becomes president. Ice also has to go. Never again can we make it possible for any sitting president to send federal police troops to a sovereign state without consent from the state government. This is a way to skirt the Posse Comitatus Act.

4. They should be worried about jail time for kidnapping, assault, and impersonating the police.

These are all felonies.

Hand salute to Navy.

8. "I believe DHS needs to be disbanded when Biden becomes president."

Unquestionable! Shout that out as often as you can. Investigate and prosecute all who had a hand in creating this organization. There will be dirt. It never had a legitimate purpose or need except to excuse Bush's ineptitude. It funnels martial power into the hands of unchecked appointees. Exists as the climax of a right wing wet dream. Enables a creature such as Trump to do more harm than if it did not exist. The most damaging construct of the overblown, fake outrage, propaganda vehicle harvested by NEOCONS from the ruins of the twin towers. Skirts a lot more than just the Posse Comitatus Act. It skirts the founders profound and well documented fear and loathing of an overreaching executive.

15. DHS has earned the death penalty. Rotten managers who accept anti-Constitutional orders

from the president and vicious officers eager to implement them.

12. He flipped them off with that broken hand

6. Semper Fortis!

He's a good dude. woke, using his privilege for good.

7. What a pussified statement from the feds

The baton wielder was kind of weak sauce. He should go back to his Xfit box and get his money back.

[KPN]

9. The statement is pure bullshit. The video tells the story, the statement spins it.

Personally, I think anyone involved in directing, carrying out or defending these federal law enforcement acts of violence against American citizens should be identified, prosecuted and punished to the fullest possible extent once this nightmare is over.

10. Apparently the US Marshall's office

is commenting on a different video than the one I saw.

11. He's the kind of many you'd be proud to have as your father.

[pandr32]

14. He deserves hero treatment

[somaticexperiencing]

16. Intercourse the Federal Marshalls and their statement.

[Sogo]

17. RE the Marshalls' statement at the end of this clip:

Why is it always that the guys with all the weapons and protective gear are the ones who feel threatened for their safety????

[usaf-vet]

18. Bullshit you are ignoring and oath that you to the I took and "the old Navy" hero took.

Because an unqualified chickenhawk in the White House gave someone an order to send you to Portland Oregon.

The UCMJ and federal laws provide for any services member to disobey an unlawful order. To disregard the 1st AMENDMENT RIGHTS of everyone you have attacked and kidnapped certainly qualifies as an UNLAWFUL ORDERER.
