Seriously, this thread about Minnesota and Trump's fascist ICE secret police is important. This isn't a reaction to Good and Pretti; Good and Pretti happened _because_ white people had _already_ been reacting.
Read the whole thread.

There's a whole thread here that's important. This didn't start, _even for white people_, with Good and Pretti. This goes into how it's been going long and how it's come together.

SB 5855 passed the Senate. This is the bill banning facial-covering identity concealment by law enforcement.
All Democrats for. All Republicans against. No abstentions. If you had _any_ thoughts that local Republicans were any better, please jettison them. And the Republicans.
(Exemptions are made for undercover work and N-95 medical masking. I presume every Federal agent will suddenly find themselves fully invested in COVID-19 control. But that's still a lot less coverage than the full-face-plus-glasses covering they do now.)

Dr. Glaucomflecken talks about eye irrigation in the event of pepper spray, including regarding contact lenses.

(TLDW: a solid litre of water with no-tears-style baby shampoo, or failing that just plain water, don't use dairy, the potential damage from pepper spray makes it more likely to trigger an infection. And do NOT remove contact lenses quickly; wait until you can keep your eyes open with reasonable ease, _then_ remove them.)
The Third Amendment is all relevant again suddenly.

Previous time, also under the Shitstain:

Before that, I got nothin'. Anybody know anything about pre-Trump Third Amendment action? Or is the Shitstain the first President so obscene to make it matter again?

[continued] And after an incident, the lines of investigative authority or prosecutorial authority can be very challenging to navigate.
But I think the Washington public expects their local sheriff or local police chief or officers that work for either to not simply watch if somebody in their community is having their rights violated.

This is setting up - by necessity, I want to be very clear about that - guidelines for direct conflict between Washington State and Federal agents.
There's unidentified/masked Federal fascist agent contexet in this, too, since that'll be illegal here real soon.

They're being pretty nonspecific in this because as _they_ put it they don't want to give away game plan. But:
27:38, Atty. Gen. Nick Brown:
What I would say is as a general matter, state and local law enforcement do not have to simply watch or look away if the law is being violated.
If they see somebody being assaulted unlawfully or attacked unlawfully or otherwise having their legal rights violated, we do not expect state and local officers to simply watch or do nothing.
It is important that each of those jurisdictions talk to their lawyers and legal teams, understand where those lines are drawn.
