Watching this video again... dang was this whole thing a joke as far as policing.
Above all... ICE is obviously a disaster based on what we are seeing. I'd argue that it goes a lot more broad than ICE though.
Honestly, it really feels like both the activists and the Trump admin are trying to spark strife. Trying to use violence to gain more power. They are playing with fire and people are dying.
What we have to remember is that the powers are not looking for conflict resolution. Neither side. The protesters are pawns. The officers are also pawns. Politics kills people. We are seeing it right now.
Eventually, one side will realize this is a loser for them and then we may see attempts to deescalate.
Yeah, I think it will be Trump. The issue is that the division is just getting deeper and harder.
It's Trump, unless they can uncover more scandals like the Somali daycares. People will tolerate a lot in the name of protection against outsiders.
I have to say, Trump's appointments in law enforcement are incredibly terrible IMO. Not just because they are doing things I think are wrong. But how poorly they communicate and and spin stuff. It's laughably bad.
I mean... I'm not surprised. They come from government and political appointment. But they are really bad. Barbie and Pam Bondage are especially bad.
It's the right's version of identity politics. Whether I defend you or criticize you depends more on who you are than what you did.
What percent of the population do you think even tries to see things in an objective, principled way that they try to apply fairly to everyone? 20%? 10%?
20% would be high I think. I hope it's that high.
That seems way too high. Basically, partisans don't behave this way and most non-partisans are oblivious.
Indeed. Most people are non-partisans and are extremely clueless.
I know it's only us weirdos who think the same ethical rules apply to agents of the state, but I was thinking about how people give cops a pass on the normal rules of responsible firearms use:
There shouldn't be any exceptions to these rules for cops and excuses should be disregarded.
