Liberal Outrage Over DHS Doing Its Job

Here’s What They Meant to Say

The Incident Liberals Love to Hate

Here we go again, folks. Another case of a protester getting injured and the left losing their minds over law enforcement doing their jobs. This time, an 18-year-old USC student, Tucker Collins, lost an eye after being hit by a ‘less-lethal’ projectile during a No Kings march in LA. His attorney, V James DeSimone, is up in arms, claiming the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is to blame. But let’s be real, if you play with fire, you might get burned.

Collins was out there photographing the protest, which was clearly targeting the Trump administration’s policies. He was following a group headed towards the Metropolitan detention center, a hotspot for these so-called peaceful protests. In a video shared by his lawyer, Collins is seen holding a camera when he suddenly drops to his knees. A projectile hit his eye, and now DeSimone is crying foul, claiming DHS violated a federal injunction. But maybe, just maybe, Collins should have thought twice before joining a protest that was anything but peaceful.

Selective Outrage and Legal Maneuvering

DeSimone is gearing up to file a federal tort claim against DHS, blaming them for Collins’ injury. But let’s not forget, the DHS was simply following protocol to control a crowd that was getting out of hand. A spokesperson for DHS reminded everyone that the First Amendment protects peaceful assembly, not rioting. They stated that law enforcement used the minimum force necessary after issuing seven warnings. But of course, the left conveniently ignores these facts in their narrative.

The liberal media is quick to highlight how Collins was ‘obviously documenting the scene’ and ‘stepping out of the way of passersby.’ Yet, they fail to mention that this protest wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Photos show police deploying teargas after demonstrators threw concrete blocks. The LA police department reported arrests for failure to comply with dispersal orders. But hey, let’s just focus on the poor protester who got hurt, right? It’s the classic liberal strategy: ignore the bigger picture and focus on the victim narrative.

A Pattern of Playing the Victim

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this play out. Earlier this year, another protester sued the LAPD after being injured at an immigration protest. And during another No Kings protest, an LAPD officer fired a crowd-control projectile at a reporter. The projectile missed, but the reporter got hurt dodging it. It’s almost like these protesters and reporters are looking for trouble, then crying victim when things don’t go their way.

The left loves to paint law enforcement as the villains, ignoring the chaos and danger these protests often bring. They want to have their cake and eat it too, demanding the right to protest while expecting zero consequences. But let’s face it, if you’re in the middle of a heated protest, you’re taking a risk. And when things go south, don’t be surprised when law enforcement steps in to restore order.

The Real Issue: Law and Order

At the end of the day, this is about law and order. The DHS and police are out there trying to keep the peace and protect federal property. But the left is too busy playing the blame game to see that. They want to vilify law enforcement for doing exactly what they’re trained to do: maintain order in chaotic situations.

Instead of focusing on the real issues, like the violence and lawlessness at these protests, the left would rather turn it into a sob story about an injured protester. It’s time to wake up and support our law enforcement officers who are just trying to do their jobs. Let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture: maintaining law and order is essential for a functioning society.
