You wanted to know how the state incites violence. And how they are inciting violence particularly in this case. I’ve described it. Mass arrests of non violent offenders in a heavy visual presence, disturbing the life in residential areas, by people not trained to police while respecting constitutional rights, predictably create the protests. Heavy handed crowd control predictably radicalizes the protesters. Videos of the protestors being violent is the outcome the state wants so that it can justify bringing in the national guard and polarize the population.

What is the possible probable cause of arresting a natural born citizen because you didn’t have an ID on you while being outside your apartment. Since they turn out to be a citizen it can’t be that they have paperwork with your name on it back at the office. They are arresting because they don’t know who you are, not because they know who you are and they have some prior evidence you committed a crime. Arresting someone because you’re not sure if they didn’t commit a crime is all kinds of constitutional violations. The ask is not to me on how they can satisfy the base without inciting violence. The ask is for them on how can they enforce the law without violating the rights of people.

The fact that the state is presently pursing the enforcement while appearing to not care about the rights of people is the point of the protests in many cases.

I dont agree that what you described is inciting violence. Its annoying and frustrating, but i dknt agree the only answer to these things is to stoop to your most base instinct and commit violence.

Like i said before, on the lady outside her apartment, were not legal scholars, but my understanding is that the police can detain you if you dont have your id and they suspect you of criminal activity (illegal immigration). They didnt arrest her right? If her righta were violated she should sue, but seems to me like this was just 5 inconvenient hours. We dont have the full story, because its unclear if they took her to the ice facility or she was just cuffed in the building. Again, we're not legal scholars and dont have the full story.

To me it seems like they were following statute

I agree we don’t know all the facts, and I’m not an attorney but For your own benefit in the future let me assure you the statute that says they can : “(1) to interrogate any alien or *person believed to be an alien* as to his right to be or to remain in the United States;” Needs to be a reasonable belief based on something. It not an excuse to detain for any reason. Based on what we know I hope she does sue, on appearance I don’t see what reasonable belief they would have had to arrest her for being outside her apartment. Proximity to your apartment doesn’t make you more or less likely to be in the country illegally. The best I can do would be to say they had evidence that there were a lot of illegal immigrants living in the apartment. But I don’t think that would hold up as it’s not specific enough to her. It’s casting too wide a net to say “because I know a lot live in this apartment I can detain anyone without a warrant for this enforcement” That’s my problem generally, on appearance these are warranties arrests without probable cause. And it’s not just an inconvenience it’s a violation of the 4th amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. Violence isn’t going to be seen as legitimate against the state until if the magic undefined tipping point where the state looses its monopoly power on violence because they are clearly violating constitutional rights is reached. Some segment of the population is protesting because they believe there are constitutional violations happening in mass. It’s interesting to watch.

Bc we dont have the whole story it's easy to make shit up.

For example, what if the landlord has told them he allows people to live there without paper work? Or the person in that unit before was an illegal? Or her boy friend is an immigrant? Its easy to speculate a probable cause, so the cops will probably have one of these excuses.

I dont see how they are violsting the fourth amendment, she didnt say they searched her apartment they just identified her.

Thats my point i dont think ive seen genuine intentional violations of peoples rights, but if that is happening it should be taken seriously. Using this ladies story as proof is not going to gelp because the reporter didn't do her job.
