The claim that ICE were scared may be true, but only because these guys seems so inexplicably under equipped and poorly lead.

Maybe the "police" in this clip had orders to deescalate. But from what I've seen ICE will use physical violence and tear gas at far less. Maybe they had no gas, which would go along with some of the shields looking like office supplies from Temu. Maybe the leadership was ineffective on a tactical level. I mean the protestors were throwing, what looks to me like, cardboard boxes and other light items. Organizing grabbing a protestor should be easy, but these guys just kept retreating.

Is this what you get when you give every police academy reject 30k USD, a badge and gun?
