      Indeed, do not cooperate and fight back. They are NOT a legal authority. If they have a uniformed officer with them (state or city), demand the officer arrest you instead. It MAY be worth it to cause a scuffle and get arrested for assault, which could be dropped as self defense. I’m not a lawyer though, just my opinion. You have to fight these assholes. Get the low level pukes into court and tied up fighting charges. Make them scared to do their master’s bidding.

      And being sent to El Salvador is a death sentence. I would act in self-defense appropriately.

        Glad to hear it. State law is not your friend, and now, it’s your enemy. If you’re targeted, the vest that says POLICE (or ICE) means nothing. They are just people in a fancy outfit. They’re still there to intrude and fuck up your life.
        Laying down doesn’t save these people any more.

      At this point, you’re fucked, might as well arm yourself. Rather go out like that then be tortured in a foreign prison.
