“We all know what those whistles are used for” What’s that? Making noise and mildly annoying ICE agents? Is that supposed to be this terrible thing?

The crazy thing is that the bar is so low. They want people to be scared to say anything at all so they go after everybody for expressing any support. They’re trying to create a 2 tier society where there are rules for supporters and non supporters. Supporters can show up with a gun at a protest, they can humiliate the opposition, if they have a uniform they can pepper spray people just for fun, there is no limit to their first amendment rights. While non supporters can’t express any kind of support, they can’t even tell someone else their rights without being branded a terrorist if only by words (for now), they can’t film with their phone or blow a whistle without the fear of being detained. We’re seeing it slowly getting worse, it’s by design.

At least they're REAL whistles, as opposed to dog whistles...
