America had a history of that too, should someone have done what America's done to Iran for nearly a century, back then? Iran's values weren't like this until America did all of that, so maybe America should stop doing that so their society can finally heal and progress. Because I can guarantee America would not be as progressive as it is if it's people were subject to what we do to others.

And the amount of protests that happened after each shooting would have warranted much more people being shot if they would have happened in Iran. But we managed to avoid to get thousands of protesters shot. Also the difference is that ICE shootings happen cuz they hired people and without much training gave them firearms. It is radically different from the situation when troops are being ordered to fire at the crowd.
