What a real cop looks and acts like 👇.
Dressed in his uniform. Bulletproof vest under uniform for protection not intimidation.
His weapon is holstered while he is faced with a mob hellbent on harming him.
ICE goons dress & act like they are patrolling Fallujah in 2004.

I always thought the term "cosplaying" was overused until ICE/CBP started showing up everywhere. Look at this guy, does he think it's Fallujah? (It's a high school in Minneapolis).

One of my goals in the remaining years of my career as a columnist is to be around when soulless sacks like this beg forgiveness and cry crocodile tears seeking redemption. I want to be there to tell them: No. Sit in your space on the wrong side of history and live with the cruel choices you made.
Rep. Randy Fine: "If you impede the actions of our law enforcement as they seek to repel foreign invaders from our country, you get what's coming to you. I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved."
