The American equivalent would be BLM protests. We all know how the feds are kidnapping citizens without warrant. People around the world are watching this closely and they're not fools anymore.

You're comparing apples and oranges here. As much as I find the federal agents' behavior of be despicable, they're not what the parent post is talking about. I have yet seen someone dragged out of their homes for making a snaky tweet against trump, or speaking out against him in major media outlets.

I don’t think I’ll ever get over how Federal agents, in uniform, making lawful arrests, where suspects were Mirandized, interviewed, and then released, somehow becomes black-bagging simply because they didn’t put a decal on their vehicle.

In the video the guy was not Mirandized or told that he was under arrest.

Is this a real post?

How are people supposed to record, for the purpose of later review, the actions of a un-identified set of people?

I mentioned this happening two weeks ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23874084), while living in America. I think it's a legitimate cause for concern. However I did not fear that I'd be sent to a concentration camp for mentioning it. The situation has not [yet?] deteriorated so far as to be comparable with the CCP's China.
