    If they were wearing masks, they should have been arrested according to TACO.

    Where was his security team?

    If I’m running for mayor I’m having armed men around me at all times.

    You pretend to be a cop refuse to identify yourself and try to kidnap me, my guards shoot you to death.

    How stupid is that mayoral candidate?

    Protect yourselves. These people are fucking Nazis.

      It happened in a federal courthouse.

      Private security wouldn’t be allowed firearms, and cops aren’t about to fire on feds. He was there to try to protect immigrants.

        Just need to have some loyal cops around the elected official.

        Have a real game of thrones situation.

        Clout is useful when being on social media.

        As far as protecting yourself from Nazis?

        Makes you a target.

          He’s out already. It’s a good way to draw attention to yourself and show you’re going to stand up to Trump. I don’t see Cuomo doing this.

          He’s running for mayor of NYC with a D after his name, he’s already a target

          And while clout is definitely big on social media, clout with voters is important for politicians too

      This is literally a Democrat personally escorting immigrants in and out of immigration court and being unlawfully arrested for the “crime” of demanding to see a warrant from ICE thugs. I get it, but this kneejerk is so unproductive.
