(Minneapolis, MN) As yet another shooting occurs are federal agents attack Americans for protesting, local police are trying to instill calm - while doing nothing about the actions of out-of-state ICE agents attacking their neighbors. One officer, who asked not to be named for supporting government terror policies, says this is just quid pro quo, and police in the US follow the same honor system everywhere. He says in any state, cops will always choose other cops over their neighbors.

“There’s cops… then everyone else,” he said. “Your family is completely exempt, of course. Maybe your favorite sports stars. They teach you that day one. We all have to band together to hold down the little people, or the thin blue line means nothing.”

ICE killings are now the leading cause of homicides in Minneapolis this year. The officer says if the roles were reversed, we’d understand. “If you were a cop, you’d understand you’re special. I have over 9 weeks of specialized training in law enforcement. People buy stickers for their cars to try to keep us from giving tickets. Know that if this were in Texas, cops there would be standing around as well while ICE guys smashed a baton over an old lady’s head. They even wear brown shirts down there… isn’t that great?”

He says unity is what allows this to happen. “It’s comforting this is America… in some countries, they’d be dragging me and my family from our homes for this. But not here. God bless us.”

Not all Americans agree with this view. Leo Stubgetter, a cow detangler in rural Minnesota, said “what’s that guy’s home address, I got some questions.”
