Police in full military battledress, with no personal identification (although the video was blurry), taking someone without a single word. Inexcusable.

Odd how we used to have this thing in America called the Posse Comitatus Act, which made it illegal for Army troops to enforce domestic law.
Oh well.

Is the person they’ve apprehended still alive? Good grief.

Papito, the Posse Comitatus Act constrains the US military (e.g. the Army). Domestically, the US Marshals said it was not them, so it was probably the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), maybe “justified” as action against terrorism. Creepy as fuck.
Silly me, I thought because they were dressed up as Army that they were Army. Instead, it seems they’re Border Patrol, costumed as Army, playing Police.
In any case, if this happened in my city, I hope the pretend police would be arrested by the real police.

Papito, if this happened in my city, the real police would be helping the pretend police. Only they’d be targeting Mexican Americans, because the black population here is too small to get to really flex their mighty muscles.
