    At least one of the search warrants for Thursday’s raid seen by the Guardian authorized the FBI to confiscate dozens of items from the raided homes – including laptops, cellphones, “Defend the Atlanta Forest” stickers and posters and personal journals.

    So, like, no bombs? No guns? Not even knives? How about nunchaku?

    Not really seeing why these bastard cops had to do SWAT style raids. Unless, of course, they’re terrorists…

      Oh you mean the same FBI that was ignoring an insurrection as it happened and has taken its sweet fucking time rounding up insurrectionists?

      They don’t have time for that shit, but they’ve got time for this.

      ACAB.

      Anyone who thinks any police in the USA are on the side of good and democracy are naive fucking idiots.

        Like I suggested- they’re terrorists. People may not like it when I call them terrorists, but what else can you call them when they spend so much time using violence and intimidation to cause fear amongst the populace?

      Don’t you know? In an antifa super soldier’s hands those stickers become deadly weapons!

        Love that they still do this with all their enemies. The left is simultaneously the most dangerous, and also comprised of effeminate weaklings. Biden is both an evil super genius, and a befuddled geezer. So refreshing to know they’ve at least remained consistent in one thing; being dumb asses.

          Common fascist tactic, of course. The notion is that they’re being suppressed by an enemy who is unworthy.

            Right out of Umberto Eco’s list of defining points of fascism.

            The disciples of Fascism must feel humiliated by the enemy’s wealth and power, but feel nonetheless that they can defeat the enemy. The enemy is both too strong and too weak.

            Eco grew up under Mussolini, so he knew a thing or two about fascism.

      “Defend the Atlanta Forest” stickers

      Blatant First Amendment violation, right there.

      Even if they had guns, it’s a constitutional right. I’ve never understood the obsession with reporting when guns are found. Around 45% of US households have a gun, does that mean that 45% of Americans are criminals in the eyes of the law?! Actually probably.

      No, see, if they finally got the proper training that Cop City would provide, they’d stop raiding people illegally!

      • They need cop city to learn how to obscure evidence and leave no witness unsilenced in order to be able to do their jobs without fear of being held accountable, duh /s

    This is why conservatives should not be allowed to have authority or weapons. They will only use it to harm innocent people. That’s just who they are at their core. There can be no police reform as long as there are conservative police.
