I so want to reply something about sniping that will get me put on a list, but it’s clear statements from the administration have successfully demonized certain law enforcement agencies.
I know a few cops and generally believe they do a good job. It’s easy to say #ACAB when the headlines are a small percentage of officers. Yeah, yeah, I know
After speaking out against the formation of DHS after 9-11, I admit to accepting it and letting it go. But it’s clearly a huge part of the problem here. Individual agencies would have given more opportunities for checks and balances against the fascists. Letting our fear drive us to one huge overarching national police agency has led to all the problems we feared. This needs to end
There’s no way to justify the way ice has been acting. No way they will ever be trusted again. There are all the memes talking about how we don’t hear from the proud boys and similar ilk because they’ve been recruited, and it’s way too easy to believe. Thats exactly how ice has been behaving.
++++ I read of two states with bills pending to reject ice from any state law enforcement jobs, and it seems like a start. We all need to talk to our representatives and at least get this going
