Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sounds like that Sgt and the N. Guard being there are more of a nuisance.
If MPD had enough free time to go after something as petty as this then there must be no other real crimes going on so then we have to ask, wtf are the military still doing there?
Sgt Beck has got some thin skin. This was barely a roast let alone a burn. Dude needs to take it easy and man the fuck up, this is just the beginning.
"Soy un perdedor..."
The goal never was to amuse him.
Stormtroopers are engineered not to feel amusement.
Beck is the short pudgy one isn't he?
I don't have TikTok, so I can't see the video. Here's a picture that I assume is him and shows his face. He is shorter than the other people in the picture. Not sure if this is the guy you're referring to though.
He doesn't appear to have the Hegseth Approved body type.
Needs more blond hair and blue eyes
I honesty don't think the national guard did something bad. We should blame the police for not chewing out the national guard for wasting their time, then leaving.
The Guard is an agent of the state. Being this clueless about the First Amendment shows poorly on him as an American, but also suggests poor training by his command structure.
Yes, the MPD are actually the ones who violated his civil rights.
Are national guard trained in protestor rights? They aren't police, aren't trained as police, and have no business policing unless it's a state of emergency.
Unless I'm totally off base. I don't know anything about the American national guard. I'm not even American.
Although I agree they have no business being deployed as police, if they are deployed as police, they need to get some training, and this is completely foreseeable.
