Pretty naive to think ICE would be murdering protesters in the streets which they have never done under a Dem, when literally Trump ran on the promise of delivering it ....

Which is different than police departments? (which is what dems wanted to do just train ice to be police levels of training)

    Rather then be properly trained in the law than a bunch of gravy seals that think they are marines....

    We should have some kind of administration of immigration policies this isn't the wild West.

    You know you just described most current police with both statements correct?

    Please tell me you understand the current police are the same except wearing a different badge

    Improvements need to be made there for sure, but I'm 40 and it's never been as bad as this in my lifetime.

    This is far different

    If you're 40 you were alive during the Rodney King beating, the murders of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Aiyana Jones, John Crawford, Eric Harris, Botham Jean, and literally hundreds of others each year.

    So I don't know what the fuck you're talking about because ICE and the rest of law enforcement has always been like this in the US.

    So if actually 40 missed the lapd riots because of police, there was the time the police bombed cites, there was the Baltimore police recently that while not killing were doing worse to the citizens than ice, NYPD for generations or what on average happens to dogs. Of course if not a minority probably don't consider this an issue.

    Then there's the racism aspect https://www.aclu.org/news/criminal-law-reform/what-100-years-of-history-tells-us-about-racism-in-policing

    Or the statics being higher than ice just not covered because media gets in trouble doing that (ie police blacklist them) https://policebrutalitycenter.org/police-brutality/statistics/

    Sorry I forgot what were we saying was the difference?
