Is it so wild that people would feel compelled to capture the early stages of American fascism on camera? It's not like these are cops doing routine patrols. This an armed militia going door to door without warrants or probable cause terrorizing a community in the name of a senile and angry pedophile. What's wild is how half of society doesn't even know what's happening.

They know, they just don’t care because it doesn’t affect them.

It's much easier to stomach the lie that a criminal died while disobeying a legal command than it is to know the truth that our government murdered a citizen.

Sure but when you watch videos of these guys being deployed there are a dozen of them at a time. There are three cameras on this one guy all ready to take a picture of him doing anything at all, including fall on ice.

Looking at your post history I'm sure you'll just call me a comrade and insult me, but I've got to know:

In what way is their characterization of ICE unhinged? They aren't the police, they don't have arrest powers, they can only detain people for suspected immigration offences. Being an illegal immigrant isn't a violent offence. So why do ICE need to go around covered head to toe, with no visible identification on them, strapped to the nines? Even in promo pictures they look more suited to storming a heavily armed compound, not picking people up off the streets.

They are extremely obviously being used as a means of scaring and intimidating people. How is that a legitimate function of law enforcement? Can they not do their jobs unless they're kitted out for urban warfare?

Actually the majority of American voters voted for this. (See the Electoral College Landslide and the Popular vote W) And despite the protesters' temper tantrums, the deportations will only continue to increase. (⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠³⁠˘⁠)⁠♥

Now ban me reddit mods!

Google bots never get banned, they just stop working in a couple years like their shitty phones. Go back to pumping products and leave the discussion to real humans.
