Cops plead 'allow ICE employees to go home to their families' after protesters blockade prison....

....in Portland



Two officers with the Department of Homeland Security showed up to negotiate with the protesters. Jenny Nickolaus, another organizer with DAA, said a couple of dozen people engaged with the police in bulletproof vests. The two cops asked for “reasonable accommodation from the protesters.”

When asked what that meant, says Nickolaus, the DHS police pleaded with protesters “to allow nine ICE employees stuck inside to be able to ‘to go home to their families.’”

The protesters exploded with outrage “at the ridiculous irony in that statement,” says Nickolaus.

Bureros says, “People started yelling, ‘Oh, you need to go home to your families? What about the families you are holding.’”

People have to realise that their actions have consequences and 'just doing my job' is not good enough.... not when your job has such a horrific impact on the wider community and the countries soul...

Employees can come out, but can't drive to wherever they live.

It reaches out to the farthest suburbs and even towns in other counties.

I'm just mentioning it in case readers aren't aware of it.

Every one of them for not stopping this , and shamed for helping a US president abuse children. I would have quit instead of even considering helping do this.

The photo doesn’t show the Occupy Tents that are there and the people. I and some neighbor women are going down there this morning. The crowd is larger than the photo. Not everyone is ready to block the parking lot and get arrested.

I don't believe that Trump and his henchmen and women would have any problem getting volunteers from their cesspool of radical hated mongers to show up with their beloved AK15s to exterminate these things the president said are infesting the nation. They have been determined by Fuhrer to be vermin. Not even a subspecies of humans, but akin to a germ infestation. Can you imagine your children being exposed to these dangerous vermin. This is worse than the forced desegregation of the schools which they view as a tragedy.

The only thing that is in danger of being exterminated is the privilege social position of the WASPs.

There could be dead or ailing babies for all we know. They won't show anyone what's going on... not the press, not congress, not the red cross... That's the sort of thing criminals and despots do... not people who do things legally, morally, etc

foundling homes where kids were buried in secret graves..some were murdered. This practice ended in the 60's...after all these kids were 'born of sin'. so horrible.

Otherwise they are child abusers and need to stay penned in because their racial antipathy has made them a danger to us all.

Is it just their vanity or is there a tiny bit of shame knowing they're committing atrocities against children ???
