    without showing a warrant

    I’m so tired of the legalist caveat, implying a Trump judge rubber stamping warrants for these gestapo shits would have made kidnapping and torturing a woman and her infant child acceptable.

      But it does highlight that any random brute could put on a mask and do this with no authorization whatsoever. It’s a fundamental human-rights and rule-of-law breakdown to fail to present a warrant. I agree that a warrant doesn’t ethically make the arrests anything short of monstrous, though. That kind of legalist can suck eggs.

        I believe this a part of the plan.
