    So that’s where they draw the line?

    Gardeners? Well okay.

    Seems to me that they had no issue with arresting & deporting the elderly, children, separating parents and children, documented legal immigrants and so on.

    Sucks to be forced to deport your own gardener, I guess…

      Don’t forget literally snatching children as “bait”. Kid’s a birthright citizen, but if you arrest THEM and they call Mom about “some people said they were from ICE and they took me away from school”, you can arrest the parents when they show up and deport THEM instead (and often put the kid in foster care instead of sending them with their parents to whatever country of origin.

        Nah. This is ICE were talking about.

        They signed up because they’re racist shitbag fascists.

            I don’t see the contradiction. A lot of ‘normal people’ are racist shitbag fascists. How do you think we ended up here in the first place?

            Also, did you even fucking read this?

            I spoke to a gregarious New York police officer who was fed up with patrolling Times Square and all “the savages” there.

            Yeah, totally normal, everyday folk. No racism in their motives at all!

              Police always encounter all the problems society fails to solve and dumps it on their lap. It’s perfectly understandable when they become jaded, callous, and so on. They do the work they are ordered to, but the problems never become better.

                Well, things are starting to make more sense about your initial opinion I guess. So at least there’s that.
