Edit: Changed link to a non amp version of same story from same news organization.
The deputy marshal was briefly detained in the lobby of a federal building in Tucson because he “fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE,” according to a statement from a U.S. Marshals Service spokesperson shared with NBC News on Friday. It is not clear when the incident took place.
“The Deputy US Marshal’s identity was quickly confirmed by other law enforcement officers, and he exited the building without incident,” said U.S. Marshals Service spokesperson Colleen Grayman.
He got stopped in a building lobby…
The general description: brown
In other words, it wasn’t a mistake but standard operating procedure.
he “fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE,”
So, he’s got a wicked tan then.
See the funny thing about the English language is that they’re almost certainly implying that he looks like a specific person that they’re pretending exists. But to me it reads like they’re using a general description of all the subjects that they’ve already detained.
Haha, I read it as theyre just going and arresting anyone cause they have a “general” idea of what they’re doing.
Git 'em all!
All them imgrants 'n anchor babies until only the real Native Americans are left
Could you imagine? “Hey wanna hop down to America for extreme inner fulfillment through measured hallucinogen intake, and then later bombs and gambling?” Shit, we should get started immediately.
Per rule 2, can you please edit the post to the original article and not the proxied/AMP version?

Reddit used to have a number of people running bots that would de-AMP links. I haven’t seen anyone setting up something similar on the Threadiverse, though.

It looks like AmputatorBot is open-source and supports Reddit and used to support Twitter.
EDIT: Though…I don’t see activity from the user /u/Killed_Mufasa on the bot subreddit (moderator of the subreddit and it looks like the dev) or commits to the github repo in the past two years, so the Reddit API fiasco might have killed it.
EDIT2: No, /u/AmputatorBot is the bot account, and it’s still functional.
Hello fellow kagier, there are dozens of us!

Holy crap. Thanks!
Oops! All mistakes!
