      Did he take a oath to obey the government?

        It’d be pretty concerning if upholding the law isn’t part of their oath.

          That is the whole point. He did and by not doing it he is violating his oath of office. Not that anyone will move to fire him.

    Has anyone actually seen a verifiable report from a legitimate, unbiased news source of an ICE officer or Border Patrol agent being harmed due to doxxing?

    The accusations are constantly repeated by federal spokespersons and right wing outlets, but I can’t find a single true example.

    If doxxing danger is the excuse for masks, where is an actual account of this ever happening?

      If they know who you are and where you live and if they know you’re against them, they WILL come and assault you and your family.

      It’s their own shitty behavior that they’re afraid of.

      Great example of “every accusation is a confession”. Makes complete sense to me that the agency tasked with hunting people down and disappearing them in the night would be worried about that kind of thing

    Ah yes, the same PD that definitely isn’t known for being the poster child of police brutality. May everyone echo the words written specifically for them: “fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!”

    one armed agency approaching another armed agency to create conflict over something that would be a misdemeanor at best or an infraction

    Oh so murder is a misdemeanor at best or an infraction now. That means killing cops is fine right?

    The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the law enforcement agency that patrols unincorporated Los Angeles County, said that federal law makes the department unable to enforce the ban.

    This is at best a question for the DA or a court, not the chief of police. He’s the top worker bee, not a decider of what could in the most tolerant interpretation be an area of ambiguous law. If he doesn’t like enforcing the law as dictated by his civilian overlords and the current instructions of his corresponding court system, he should quit. And since he won’t, he should be fired.

    I’m not surprised. Cops and ICE are staffed by the same degenerate archetype.
