The cruelty of it. Cold-blooded. Never in my life. What are we to do in the face of such evil?

I remember a thread talking about the orc foreman here as an example of good NCOing. Sir tells you what he wants to do. You tell Sir the practical limitations that could prevent that. Sir says nevermind or authorizes measures that overcome or bypass those limitations.

I reviewed payroll data for insight into how ICE works day-to-day. Who is really experienced? How is the training? What is the supervision? It gives backstory for how Trump stripped common admin safeguards from ICE to promote violence in the field.

Unsupervised ICE: Built for Violence
ICE hired thousands of new agents while training and supervision quietly collapsed. Federal workforce data shows how these failures combined to remove restraints on the use of force.

(People who walk slowly are welcome to visit NYC if they don't suck; we do politely request that you do not stop in the middle of the sidewalk and that you stay to the right so other people can pass you)

I wonder if the right will ever realize that their presence and patronage isn't the great gift they think it is

ICE is violating fundamental constitutional rights multiple times a day across the country and also performing street executions without consequence, we are so far beyond 'take off your mask' at this point

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.
If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

If you have a billion dollars or more, you are evil. You don't start out as evil, so it's not like only evil people ever get a billion dollars; it's just that being a billionaire forced you to make a choice, be evil or change how you do things and stop being a billionaire. Billionaires choose evil.
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

Many of the agents terrorizing Minneapolis—including officers who shot Good and Pretti—are from highly-specialized tactical units designated for war-like situations. And they are known for rampant civil rights abuses and violence. New from @awinston.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/ice-cb...
The Paramilitary ICE and CBP Units at the Center of Minnesota's Killings
Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly part of highly militarized DHS units whose extreme tactics are generally reserved for war zones.
