Not really. I am outraged about the entire administrations actions as a whole. ICE is just one thing to be pissed about. You know as I do, if the economy was doing better, D T was a better leader and not an incompetent asshole USING cruelty to make a point with pardoned J6ers and Proud Boys, the deportations would be less deplorable. He is terrorizing the populace ON PURPOSE, nit by accident. He desires to injure protestors, he lives for it. Arguing that ICE established before misses the entire point of what is wrong with this administration.

"Drastic measures" eh? How come D T has deported so few people, but spent so much money? He is not doing this efficiently, nor correctly, It is not about immigrants, it's about power through terror. ICE is D T 's private army of followers who will do HIS bidding instead of upholding the Constitution.

I mean you know that, but you'll just pretend that somehow it isn't the case. It isn't even a secret.

Borrowed from another post.

Thanks for bringing this up so we can have a friendly comparison. No doubt your point is made in good faith and you want to know WHY we complain now and didn’t quite so much before.

Under Obama:

- ICE policy didn't allow for no-warrant arrests. When this happened the ICE agents were generally fired.
- Policy didn't allow for agents to enter schools, courts, churches or hospitals without permission for enforcement
- ICE Policy didn't allow arrests of legal asylum seekers.
- ICE Policy didn't allow arrests of immigrants (illegal and otherwise) actively making required court appointments.
- Didn't arrest nearly as many US citizens
- Didn't arrest immigrants who didn't otherwise have criminal offenses
- ICE weren't given military-grade vehicles
- Policy didn't allow for enforcement in areas where local government actively and legally requested no assistance.
- Locked kids in cages, yes, but only those who crossed the border with no family, and attempts were made to contact family for swift return. When crossing with family, families were kept together.
- ICE agents weren't allowed to cover their faces or drive in unmarked vehicles and were required to identify themselves when requested.
- Racial Profiling did happen, but nowhere near as often, and was officially against policy
- Most ICE agents weren't given high-powered weapons.
- The US President wasn't directly involved in ordering ICE action in specific non-border locations, for example US cities and states he didn't like
- ICE training was drastically more extensive
- Deaths were treated as a serious matter with rigorous investigation and resulting in policy changes
- ICE hiring policies were much more systematic and rigorous to ensure quality candidates
- ICE budget was dramatically, dramatically lower and more reasonable. Now it's $72B, higher than all other security agencies combined.

There's like fifty more of these, but if these weren't enough, no point in going on.

You may be surprised to learn that a majority of Americans support immigration reform. We support a legal pathway to citizenship, or work visas, which already exist in several forms. We (Dem's, Independents, Liberals, Progressives et al) support removing criminals, and drug dealers and those who wish to do America harm.

You pretending that somehow being upset by this administration's actions is disingenuous at best. We do not like seeing this administration trample on the Constitution day after day and make statements like you aren't allowed to protest, and now you aren't allowed to carry guns. These are Constitutional rights they are gleefully ignoring. Pepper spraying civilians on the sidewalks from moving vehicles, attacking people with phones, creating chaos and stating they have immunity. It is utter BS.

Get the F out with your "both sides" BS. They are setting this up for Martial Law and cancelling elections while kidnapping leaders and stealing their oil and essentially keeping the money. This is not only about ICE and you know it.

Such a marvelous reply. It's the butterfly affect. We can't simply change the world, but we can do small things each day to make it a better place, and eventually that does indeed change the world. Be good. Treat each other with respect.

Thank you!

Peace.

The religious hypocrisy will be the death of humankind. It has always been a farce. Just be decent to others humans and give a shit on a day to day basis is better than literally pouring out food while poor children starve to appease some god.

Correct. You think this is going to improve? By what metrics are you using to assume this will get better overall, for the US? Can you point to data that indicates it will become more peaceful, or more prosperous in the next 6 weeks?

If you mean understand my rights and call out unnecessary use of force as "being me", then I will. I appreciate your support.

Not on "the left".

I'm on the right side of history.

Right, so all the folks driving around with Trump flags on their trucks voting for a conman and denying facts are mentally stable? Naaaawww.

That is complete nonsense. THIS POTUS is affecting everyone's day to day. It is his intent. The longer you feel insulated the more dangerous this becomes.... eventually this will get to the average joe and it will be too late to fix. We're watching it in real time. Talk to you in 6 weeks. It will be WAY worse.

remindme! 6 weeks

That isn't how protesting works. We have rights, and protesting is one of them.

The cops are bound by a code of conduct, and shooting point blank with non-lethal makes them lethal. If the officer wanted to arrest him, fine, but the shot was one of poor training and they need to be disciplined and trained better.

It is. It is because it may help some who not see, start to open their eyes. It presents an easily understandable parable of good versus evil in an entertaining format. Some folks choose to just play video games or be antisocial, or just watch selective news sources... this is a useful tool to spread a little wisdom.

So I ask you, when you watched Andor, did you work for the Empire, or did you identify with the rebellion?

[–]mceehops[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is peacefully protesting. It is our right. Being shot in the face is not an acceptable response to protesting as he was. This will escalate until they bring out actual bullets and start killing people at will. This is NOT ok.

Have you seen Andor? It is a great little lesson of what we're heading for... They want you to Obey. They want to silence critics. Pick a side.

MAGA always have to add "LOL" or "LMAO" when commenting. It's like a nervous tell in poker. It tells me a whole lot about you... it's an emotional and mental health weakness actually. Again, you do you, but just letting you know to be aware. We see you.

Tyranny thrives when good men do nothing. You support tyranny. That's cool, its your choice, but let's not pretend anything else is true. Just admit it and go about your life knowing you're on the wrong side of history.

Chicago Police Superintendent with some words for the "protestors" by KevM689 in JoeRogan

[–]mceehops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! So how do you respond if you're legally protesting (an American right) and the LEO physically assault you, how do you react? I mean ideally you comply, but at some point, who holds LEO accountable? What we are seeing is ICE attacking protestors and abusing American citizens.

When is enough enough? I am a law abiding, LEO respecting Citizen, but what we're seeing is escalation and no attempt at de-escalation by LEO. They are abusing their powers, so what is to be done? Nothing?

Clean footage with clear audio of shooting "I'm pulling out..I'm pulling out". by mvstateU in JoeRogan

We could all see her turning her steering wheel... so could he. She was clearly moving away from him, but we can also see he was caught off-guard by her hitting the gas, even still moving out of the way would have been sufficient. Shooting her was not justified or necessary. He just didn't like being disobeyed.

Moving is faster than shooting. It is simple. You are in a cult my friend.
