I'm surprised it hasn't
Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.
I dunno. Depends on the agency, these days.
I hope the people directing ICE to mask up take notes of this. They won't. If they do, they'll take the wrong lesson from it.
No, the original statement was correct. Real law enforcement does not wear ski masks. Scared Nazi cosplayers wear ski masks.
Scared Nazi cosplayers wear ski masks.
And they are bestowed power above the justice system by the commander in beef
Wishful thinking is enticing
By all accounts, ICE are real law enforcement, with the power, and authority of the state to enact the will of the ruling class on us.
In other news two positions for ICE officers just opened up for the Huston area.
I was wondering where this would happen first. TX makes sense. They have more ICE than any other state.
Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.
Someone tell the fascist brownshirts that work for ICE that.
ISE doesn't wear ski masks. They wear balaclavas. They're totally different and easy distinguishable in the dark during high stress situations. /s
Id rather they didn't.
Finally, some good wholesome news
Hole'some news indeed
I feel the headline should have noted that he shot in response to them shooting through his goddamn door first.
Journalistic reflex; cops are always innocent.
BREONNA TAYLOR, member her? Just a raid gone wrong
There have been do many stories of police botched a raid and killed people exercising their 2d Amendment rights in non-threatening ways. Typically the 2A nuts still rally around the cops.

Quote "Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks. "
So law enforcement just went on record saying ICE agents with masks are not actually law enforcement.
this quote should form the basis of any defense arguments for future ICE shootings
I support this and agree.
I feel like if someone dressed up as ice and joined in a raid only to cause internal chaos could deeply hinder the operations of ICE as they all become suspicious of each other and lose trust in their team.
I have a prediction: the more professional and organized members of ICE would actually be foreign agents, causing problems at key points. Say, for example, "vanishing" unfriendly politicians. ICE is the perfect cover: Low recruitment standards, no regulation, bounties for those times you need to get money, and no one able to ask questions.
It would be the chaotic and unprofessional members of ICE that are native to the USA. Those would be just into ICE for the money and racism, not patriotism to their nation. This will become a "Lions Led by Donkeys" episode in a decade or two.
Why would you think it's only foreign agents who would use ICE as cover to disappear politicians they don't like?
I don't. However, it is the most obvious way for other nations to attack America without drawing attention. Hopefully, the same vulnerability would also allow the John Browns of our time to crack open concentration centers from the inside.

Probably realised they weren't real police because they knocked rather than just kicked his door in and shot his dog.

The solution is more guns don't you know!
Yes, it is. Being able to return fire ended this.
Hope the homeowner is acquitted of any wrongdoing or damages in court.
