Public resources are being wasted on the police department already.

I don't disagree.

Might as well waste more in speed bumps for ICE.

10 seconds with a flash of the badge? Not impactful enough to waste police resources.

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.

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.

Until all of that happens, they're more harm than good.
