    Yup. ICE isn’t anything new. They’ve been doing this shit for decades. There was even that picture of a detention center under Obama people thought was Trump. Then you see stuff like the Rodney King beating, the assassination of Fred Hampton, the murder of Emmett Till, and how all of these events have a direct line to slavery and the enforcement of slavery through state violence. It’s like “What country you from where you didn’t think this was normal?”

    Now that there’s video cameras everywhere and white people are increasingly becoming the targets of that same violence, they starting to freak out over things the rest of us realized a long ass time ago.

        This is the problem. George Floyd was killed just 5 years ago, but people just act like it was ages ago. And they act like shit like that didn’t just keep on happening. It took a brazen murder by an ICE agent for people to remember that the agents of the state can act with impunity. But hell, I’ve seen people even go as far as to act like the police are the good guys now as if most of the time they don’t work hand in hand with ICE.

          It took how many years before body cams were a thing i-cant Cop city not a thing anymore? Trained by Israel not a thing anymore? Cops already sided with ICE and would likely threaten mass resignation like last time if told to inconvinience ICE
