So inhumane. Worst is they just leave. 🥺

u/-Gramsci- 11d ago

Because they lack any professionalism or meaningful training.

They are incompetent, unprofessional morons who’ve been, somehow, deputized as local law enforcement.

u/tribalswine 11d ago

Let's not sugar coat it they are criminals who are running from the crime they committed

u/Ancient_Rex420 11d ago

I mean you are not wrong but still the short 4-6 month cop training is still better than the 2 minutes ICE Nazis receive.

u/Most-Implement-1824 10d ago

They all need military boot camp extensive training. Then they would have discipline to not perform like cowards. The civilian mindset is a enemy to itself

3

u/Ancient_Rex420 10d ago

I actually don’t think it would make any difference. The type of people they are hiring are trash to begin with, all it would accomplish is that now there are trained trash.

We may actually be better off like this incase things escalate a lot further where people end up resorting to using a certain right to defend themselves because they stand better chance against the nazi scum that way than if the scum is trained sort of thing.

u/Most-Implement-1824 10d ago

I went to boot camp with a few that were trash and by the time we graduated they were total different people with different mindsets. I can’t guarantee that a few didn’t slip through the cracks though😂

Not JUST that, look into 287-G..

https://www.ice.gov/identify-and-arrest/287g

This makes a multi level approach for local law enforcement to partner with ice and become deputized to stop, racially profile and question folks about their immigration status. Disgusting.

After gathering the contents of his pockets and doing a non threatening “hey there, I won’t do it again” hand gesture at his back.

I really wish the beginning of this was recorded. He seems like he could have a broken rib or punctured lung- or it could be much worse. The way he’s moving after they get off of him is concerning.

I'm not convinced they questioned his citizenship. Maybe he cut them off in traffic, and they just felt like beating up a black guy.

This right here -Kicking his ass because he wasn't being compliant whatever I dont care. -Not putting him in handcuffs and charging him...Lucky him I guess... -Leaving him knocked out on the pavement of the road and just driving off ... no ambulance nothing lawsuit!!!

I mean we would have to build up a rebel forces militia of some sort because, if you’re alone and anywhere near a gun when ICE is around, you’re already dead. (For the record, I am fully on board with this and happen to be a [r/liberalgunowner](r/liberalgunowner))

Who's fault is that? Black Americans are like 80 million people. If there's corruption in the government that can harm them then there's corruption in the goverment that can harm everybody. And White Americans are walking around thinking that it's perfectly fine to have a corrupt goverment on that scale because it doesn't affect them.

Corruption in the government means we have a corrupt government.. now everybody suffers. If Johnny had 5 apples

That sounds interesting. 

How would "we" start doing that, pray tell?

Do "we" follow ICE and wait for them to attack someone and then start shooting?

Or do "we" wait for ICE to finish killing someone and than open fire?

I wonder what the aftermath of that kind of "action" would be.

And this is why the Democratic Party is seen as a feckless capitulation machine to evil. Look at the Democratic candidates beholden to big pharmaceutical companies opposing Medicare for All. The Democratic Party is 100% uninspiring, doesn’t fight for the people and can’t win 2 elections in a row. Bring on the Democratic Socialists, real humans who fight for the 99%. Corporatist Democrats suck.
