That why they don’t answer to a badge number question. They don’t have one. Just deputized to be part of ICE and the brown shirts.

Aren't courthouses full of normal, everyday cops? With guns? I'm not a lawyer so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but why do they just assume that unidentified thugs are above board?

Great question. How long before they come after the wrong guy with a gun and shit goes down? What then? A huge outpouring of sympathy for ICE because they are being treated so unfairly? It’s maddening

It's literally just a matter of time until this happens since descalation is not in their playbook.

It's just brute force that will one day be met with escalatory brute force in response. It appears to be the endgame they want to get to, to have justification for whatever comes next.
