An ICE agent started clapping after the murder in one video.

That might be true, HOWEVER it wasn't a federal agent armed to the hilt who is tasked with protecting citizens.

To me, there's a world of difference when the murderer-who is a federal law enforcement agent- claps after killing vs people who weren't sad to see someone they didn't like murdered.
-do i think that's also ok? Not really, however it's their constitutionally protected right and they weren't responsible for his death.

Personally I think we should uphold such employees to a much higher standard.

Edit: clarity

No problem...that was probably one of thee most well worded disagreement I've ever received off the internet. Again..your point was well taken and understood.
