      The whole masked officers thing really got me wondering how society would respond to a Batman like figure. I don’t think I realized bofore the ICE raids how absolutely horrible the concept of masked superheros was for a free society, even after consuming some media that tried to focus on this issue, like the Watchmen.

      Police have never existed to serve the populace, they solely exist to protect the capital of the wealthy.

        But that’s on a different level than being allowed to cover your face while destroying lives and saying it is justified because occasionally you enforce laws

        Define “never”. Never in as in never in the history of 21st century America? Pretty tame assertion. Never in the anthropological sense? That would be completely farcical.

          Uh… WTF are you smoking? You got any references to back up that pompous retort, or are you banking on the confidence of your palm alone to carry that wet fart aloft?

    They will easily give up a hundred different names each. Could be a good grab from some low hanging fruit?

    I genuinely do not consider that to be controversial.

    Fascists should be afraid for their safety, as a general rule. When they’re not, it’s a problem. As we can see now.

      There’s a reason why they hide their faces and want to hide their identities … they know what they are doing is wrong. They’re gambling on the idea that if their fascist government stays in place, they’ll be rewarded … but if their fascist government fails, then they can go back to normal society of no one knows who they are.

      If what they are doing is justified, moral and can be easily defended, then they would have no need to hide themselves.

        It should be trivial for a theoretical subsequent competent government to identify these people, but I’ve just about lost all hope that anyone will face consequences for doing fascist shit.

      Agreed, these are masked criminals and we have the right to share who they are.

        And even if they weren’t criminals, they’re claiming to be law enforcement which normally requires you to identify yourself.

      Way more controversial that my tax dollars.oay people that are trying to conceal their identities…?

      Like surely. I don’t see an argument between clandestine tax dollars thugs and a desire to clarify that clandestine bullshit.

    When ICE is violently attacking civilians, there’s nothing controversial about naming and shaming the fascists involved.

    If you don’t show a badge and have a warrant, you’re not an officer, you’re an armed assailant.

      They’re not recruiting the best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re recruiting people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re using drugs. They’re committing crimes. They’re rapists. And some, maybe, although unlikely, are good people.”

    Is someone really an immigration agent when they spend no time providing immigration services to the public?

    Most of these people seem to be isolation and deportation agents.
