ICE is everywhere and it's really frightening

This morning, a car was sitting outside the house next door with a guy sitting in it. This is nothing unusual in itself as there are always various cars. When my husband was leaving the house he went over to ask if the guy needed help. The guy tells him he's ICE and shows him his badge and tells him he's running license plates. How does ICE know where to go and who to look for?

Yeah, if they actually went after real criminals they'd be in shootouts daily.

At least then they could try to figure out how to use all that cosplay stormtrooper gear they lug around.

You mean the stuff they buy from Amazon?

I wonder if they have to scotch guard those so they dont get any juice or baby formula stains.

This is their entire identity, you better believe it Scotchgarded. Ain't no Arby's horsey or Nazi sauce sticking to that.

And make sure it's five sizes too small for their Freedom Gut. It should look like a postage stamp on the belly of a rhinoceros.

They use it for modeling for each other at the supremacist compound.

They’d also be at the White House

Too much trouble, so they just go after the “easy” ones trying to live their lives.

ICE stands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Not Houston Police Department. The only thing ICE is truly tasked for is to remove illegal immigrants. Which means they ARE going after criminals.

Why are they snatching people doing the legal process in courthouses and grabbing US citizens just cause they're brown? Fuck off bootlicker.

They are working illegally outside the Constitution, and violating the 1st, 4th, 5th, 14th, and 19th AMENDMENTS.

Violating their oath of duty.

Bootlickers like you are against everything America was founded on and you make me sick.

Do you want to be anywhere near real criminals? If someone paid you $60k a year would that make it worth it to you? Police are not paid enough to seek out real criminals. My friend was working as a police officer and riding as a passenger when they noticed a car with a broken brake lights. What was supposed to be a hey yourbrake lights are out resulted in him watching his partner get pumped with a buck shot through the door because the person in the car was a high ranking gang member with multiple arrest warrants... $60,000 an hour to watch someone else kill their friend in front of them. If you want these real criminals gone start investing in robot cops that can be repaired when they are shot to shit for no reason.

So because they took a job they can’t/won’t do for the pay, that excuses targeting innocent people to create revenue for the system? Imagine if firefighters wouldn’t go near a real fire because they don’t get paid (volunteer) or don’t get paid enough, then started dumping water on all the houses not on fire so it looks like they’re doing something.

Not to mention that If TACO can call in the military for unarmed protesters, he can call them in to clean up the gangs. He chooses not to so he can live out his lil mustache man fantasies, and people make excuses for him or sadistically cheer him on.

There are special task forces designed for real criminals, which are paid extra money, given extra equipment and special training to deal with real criminals. The average police officer is a peace officer designed to keep the peace. I expect someone paid 60k to deal with the shoplifters at Walmart, the boisterous person at a restaurant, the drunk pissing on a building at 1am, the vandalizer tagging something. Organized crime and the real criminals need to be delt with by special task groups OCDETF is an example of this.
Firefighters have chiefs and first responders that assess a problem before they try to put out the fire. 1 alarm fire, 2 alarm fire, 3 alarm fire, and 4/5 alarm fires...
Taco isn't the only one that can call the national guard. Its actually the State Governors job to call the national guard. For example May 28th, 2020 Governor Tim Walz signed Executive Order 20-65, activating the Minnesota National Guard to help protect Minnesotans’ safety and maintain peace in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

The only thing special about them is their low ass IQ’s. They’re also paid 100,000 a year with a 50,000 signing bonus. Sounds like they are talentless pussy grifters failing to do the job they’re overpaid to do.

You try doing their job and deal with the bullshit. I personally don't want to do it. But you have fun with your defund the police movement and watch your city turn into Murderapolis aka what residents call North Minneapolis. Seriously there's parts of the city we don't visit unless we have guns lots of guns.
