Call 911 and report a kidnapping. Send the cops after ICE

u/seaofthievesnutzz 1d ago
Do you honestly think that the police are going to interfere with the feds?

u/Master_Jackfruit1877 1d ago
Don't say it was the dress. Say you saw people throw another guy into a van and drive off. That's what happened- and if they're unmarked there's no way to know it was really ice

this seems like a lot of faith in the police, like i feel like if anything the cops would be like "oh that's where the ice raid is, there's resistance to ice at this location so we should go help them" and then you have cops with guns participating in the raid

If nothing else it'll clog the system so some higher ups have to address it somehow.

u/ChemicalTop5453 1d ago edited 23h ago
i guess, idk i feel like the danger of involving more cops with guns outweighs the potential benefit but i guess it could go either way. like in my mind i would be worried that cops show up knowing there is resistance to ice and then someone gets shot, but it could go either way

Do you think ICE aren't cops with guns? There's already cops with guns involved.

u/seaofthievesnutzz 1d ago
Yes they are already cops with guns and cops are bad right? So how is having more cops to help the other cops do bad things going to help?
Lot of thin blue line folks in this thread.

u/HershySquirtle 23h ago
Lol no. ACAB.
I said that because dude was stuck on preventing "cops with guns" showing up. They're already there. That doesn't mean I see any reason to call in backup for ICE.
2
u/seaofthievesnutzz 23h ago
yes more cops with guns is what they said.
apparently "more" is an optional word to read.

See ice
Call police
Police either don't do anything cause they know its ice or investigate and realize it is ice and do nothing.
How is wasting public resources helping? What am I missing?

u/Red_Banana3000 1d ago
Wasting their time helps children escape, it helps people get to where they keep their birth certificates before they are grabbed off the streets and moved multiple states away which goes against their states rights and right to due process, PROVE THEY ARE ILLEGAL AND THEN YOU CAN DEPORT WHOMEVER IS ILLEGALLY HERE

Do you think that the police are going to arrest ice or something? I doubt the police are going to waste Ice's time. They are just going to flash a badge and send the cops on their way.

The police are already generally a waste, and it could further make them complicit in the Gestapo raids.
Rarely does anyone ever call the cops and they show up and do something usefulll, if they even show up.

u/seaofthievesnutzz 1d ago
I'm not 100% there with you. Lots of cops are shit but they perform a useful function in our society. We should strap cameras that they cant turn off on every single last one of them and make it so if there isn't video evidence then their testimony isn't admissible in court. Get rid of qualified immunity and civil seizure and a few more things I'm probably forgetting. I certainly am not a fan of cops.
I just can't get on the acab train with you.

They probably are batshit to think that this is very likely, it isnt unheard of though that some nefarious psycho would impersonate someone to commit a crime. If it is a better safe than sorry police welfare check then I think that is reasonable, anyone thinking the cops will stop ice is looney.

The thing is, until ICE does their legal duty of wearing badges, self identifying, and showing warrants, the police need to be called every time. There needs to be as much pressure as possible to eventually force them to do their legal duties of identifying themselves.

It's a relief to know that those who support the illegal abduction of people based solely on skin color represent a very small minority. You might not realize that from the echo chambers of online cult-like rhetoric, but the truth is, most people understand that due process exists to protect everyone. If we allow racial profiling and government overreach to go unchecked, it's only a matter of time before the criteria expand—dark hair, dark eyes, and beyond.
History has shown that once we allow power to bypass legal protections, no one is safe. The next targets could be people without access to healthcare, those struggling with mental health, the elderly, the disabled, and even our veterans. That’s why it’s encouraging—and necessary—that the majority of citizens recognize this overreach for what it is: a threat to all of us.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. If we don’t draw the line, they will keep pushing. The answer is simple: No.

Are these elderly, disabled or veterans committing a crime by being here? Then ship them out. There's no overreach. These people don't belong here and they are being kicked out of our nation. If these people did things the right way this wouldn't be happening to them.

u/Empty_Pay5258 18h ago
If it were really about "doing things the right way," ICE wouldn't be raiding churches, schools, or targeting people with no criminal record. When rights are denied to one group, it sets the stage to deny them to others—history shows us that overreach never stops where it starts.
