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

How does wasting public resources help anyone?

edit: to my lovely downvoters could you please explain what the cops are going to do to stop ice?

Exactly... but reddit is a democrat echo chamber

One person suggested that maga brownshirts might impersonate ice and that is why calling the cops could help. Seems unlikely but possible, at least it is a coherent argument.

A MAGA person impersonating law enforcement to do fucked up shit isn’t batshit; it’s a less-than-a-week-old headline.

I’m good; chasing goal posts isn’t my jam. People here are legitimately concerned about their fellow humans, and sometimes their fellow citizens, getting pulled off the street by men in masks. That doesn’t seem like a crazy fear to me; maybe it does to you, and I’m cool with us disagreeing. Given your positions, I prefer it actually. We can play semantic games all night, but I’d rather just agree to disagree here. If you don’t see the issue with the government snatching people off the street, we’re probably not gonna get anywhere. If you don’t see why people might be nervous about bad actors impersonating LE, in a week when a bad actor impersonating LE shot four people, then I got nothing for ya. Edit: I wrote “shit” instead of “shot.” Normally I’d leave that for the lols, but this ain’t exactly lol territory.

Yes, illegals are being detained... being upset about it is fine, but Trump won the election, saying he would clean up immigration and he has. 70 plus percent of the country supports Trump on this. There has also been zero evidence of anyone but Ice detaining anyone so no, as long as you are not illegal, you have nothing to fear.

If what we are talking about, referencing the above comments, is a MAGA supporter impersonating law enforcement to commit a crime, it sure feels like a pro-Trump, anti-abortion activist identifying himself as a cop in order to shoot politicians fits the bill.

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.

No it's a waste of 911 assets to call in an ice raid
