      No, ICE is what cops would be if cops had fewer constraints. It might seem like cops have no constraints, but they do.

        the difference at best is quantitative, not qualitative.

        And no, cops show the same restraints to minorities as ICE has to white people. How many black people where executed by cops in the streets without any justice? it finally spilled to white people. you didn’t want that to happen, yell at all the politicians (both parties) that allowed cops to do that shit for generations.

          The difference between me spilling some syrup, and the great molasses flood is also quantitative. Ignoring that doesn’t help.

            are you denying that law enforcement has a long and rich history of executing minorities in the streets? as well as ignoring minorities civil rights?

              When local police departments go rogue, we’ve depended on the federal government (DOJ) to rein them in.

              ICE is acting so brazenly at the behest of the president, with federal supremacy backing them.

              No one is denying local police have committed atrocities. Do you see why this is a larger and more difficult problem?

                You are seriously downplaying all the atrocities committed by law enforcement in the past. they rarely get any repercussions, at best they get a paid vacation or fired and retired in another department.

                  I believe we’re on the same page here. There’s too little accountability for police officers today, let alone in the past.

                  The point being discussed is that right now at this point in time there is even less accountability for ICE because they are federal.

                    my biggest issue, is that we have to make sure, that whatever is done to fix this, will also fix police brutality affecting minorities. Not just revert things like they were a couple years before.

                    I’m hearing so many liberals wanting to go back to before ICE was executing people in the streets, while not even caring that mass deportations, family separation, or police brutalizing minorities (just like ICE is now doing publicly) have been going on for a while.

                    and then get upset when called out.

            my name might be funny, but if you are ignoring affected communities, then your aren’t an ally, you’re just a self serving lib
