Yeah, because you were. Who arrests a fire fighter actively putting out fires? Fucking stupid.
What if it was the [border patrol] officers’ house that was on fire? Would they still arrest me or would they let me do my job?
Honestly, American firefighters need to take a page out of the French playbook

Yes. Controlling other people is the highest priority. This would just be another example of that kind of person who would hurt themselves as long as someone they hate hurts too.
But you know, I disagree with the eye for an eye. We can be better than that, and fight for the rights and protection of even those who would spit on us. To quote Snuffles, "We are not them."
When it comes to fascists, a head for an eye is the appropriate response. Do not fall prey to the paradox of tolerance.
I don't think tolerance is a dichotomy. You can accept differences of others and "take the higher road" sometimes, but choose to fight in the mud others. And yes, for that example we're going down in the filth where they belong.

And... umm... how do you plan to win that fight?
Yes, that's a valid point, and it seems we're at that crossroads now.
Disgusting
