The content of the post deemed by ICE to warrant ~~federal prosecution~~ crime-boss-style intimidation:

> BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Johnathan to be indicted!

If anyone is wondering, it would still be a good day : )

    National Security Memorandum 7

    > politically motivated terrorist acts such as ... organized doxing campaigns

    Clearly she's party to a criminal conspiracy to dox federal agents. It was benevolent of them to let her off with nothing more than a warning to cease and desist.

      Ah yes illegal according to those laws handed down by the king.

      But she didn't dox him - per the quote above, the Minnesota Star released his name. She simply restated what was reported.

      And that's before we consider the absurdity of making the names of federally-sanctioned killers private. They should all be wearing name tags and ID numbers.

      And she didn't actually do what the agents claimed in their letter to her:

      “This notice officially informs you that it is unlawful to threaten to assault, kidnap, and/or murder a federal official or that federal official’s immediate family member with the intent to impede, intimidate, and/or interfere with the federal official’s duties or retaliate against a federal official due to the performance of their duties."

      She did none of the above. She only said "This is his name. Would be nice if he was indicted." That's not a threat - she's not in a position to indict him or sway a DA towards indictment. His family wasn't mentioned. There was no impeding of his work,

      I'm having a hard time reading your sarcasm level here so I'm going to assume its around 85%.

      It is widely reported and posted around the internet that Jonathan Ross murdered Rene Good while acting in official duties as an ICE agent.

      There is no conspiracy here.

    I don’t read the Minnesota Star and hadn’t seen any of this, so, if anything the Feds doxxed their own by bringing it to my attention.

This kind of intimidation sucks and I'd like to see individual officers who indulge in it lose their qualified immunity and be prosecuted for it.

But I'm at least grateful to live under a regime that needs to break its own laws to do this, and so such charges can be dismissed by courts that follow the law, even if they don't apply consequences to the offending officials. Compare that to the UK where more than 12k people were arrested for social media posts in 2023 alone and where it is fully permitted under the law with great discretion and supported by the courts.

It's a bit like "my husband is better than yours because he doesn't beat me as hard", but it's something.

    Which of the 12K arrests do you not agree with? Or are you saying people should be free to write whatever they want on social media with no repercussions?

    Given the costs of defending a federal case start at the five figs and the typical naughty tweets style offense nets community service at worst, I’m not so sure.

I wonder how far we are away from people being arrested for holding up blank pieces of paper.

    I mean, if we are going to go after people for their tweets and posts, there’s a social network that needs crawling…

      The UK case involved him being "lead away" by police and "detained" when he returned and spoke so not really an arrest for holding up a blank piece of paper. Not good by any means, but not quite "for holding up a blank piece of paper". The other UK case was about a threat of arrest if he wrote on the paper - that is under the law that bans protests in Parliament Square. Again, not good, but not for holding up a blank piece of paper.

      • dgellow 6 minutes ago

        I thought detainment was a lighter kind of arrest. Seems that I’m wrong and they are distinct concepts (I’m not too familiar with the English terminology here, my bad)

I know in CA it is a violation of election law for an armed law enforcement officer to enter a vote center unless they are responding to an incident or there to vote.

  • mingus88 30 minutes ago

    And what are the consequences if they do it anyway?

    • reactordev 23 minutes ago

      Whose gonna call the cops on the cops?

      • laweijfmvo 13 minutes ago

        are the cops gonna do anything? just start a mini civil war in someone’s garage?

      That, in my opinion, is the question of the era for the USA. We were taught that the rule of law prevailed and there are "checks and balances" but it seems like there is no prescibed way to enforce the rules inside the system.

      These days, I would guess a "tsk-tsk" is said to them.

      The States need to grow a pair and start arresting these agents who break the law.
