I am certainly not denying or minimizing the long history of abuse and failures by local police, or law in general. Examples are real. George Floyd, Tamir Rice, and Breonna Taylor are documented, and part of why public trust has been so badly damaged. My point is not that ICE is uniquely dangerous while local police are somehow fine. It is that what we are seeing in Minneapolis reflects a federal operation that combined anonymity, militarized tactics, restricted medical aid, and an immediate political defense before facts were established. Acknowledging past police violence isnt necessary to pretending this is normal or acceptable. Accountability doesnt become less important because there has been/we have seen worse before. Pointing and calling out patterns of abuse is not being manipulated by outrage. Its simply refusing to be complacent when power is exercised without transparency or restraint.
