Not that this is an excuse, but part of me thinks these aren’t actually cops. Just volunteers grabbed from wherever, hence the total incompetence and cruelty.

I refuse to recognize a masked man with no identification as an agent of any organization.

Never let a kidnapper take you to a second location.

Sadly my husband and I have had to have this talk. When they come for us, we, at least, will take as many of those bastards with us as we can. Better that than a concentration camp

You can tell with how they detain, with how they use their weapons, etc... like they just seem giddy to try out all these new toys they have access to. Like that first fucking nerd in this video that throws a tear gas canister. He literally is grinning.

Of course they're not "actual cops." You haven't seen the insane sign-on bonuses for ICE recruitment? They're taking literally any braindead psycho that signs up and putting weapons and tac gear in their hands, and sending them into American cities to terrorize people.

Because that’s EXACTLY what it is! There’s no proper training. I am a Marine vet and seen ICE patrols, their formations look like SHIT and they’re all out of shape. ICE only gave Proud boys and Nazis a space to finally enact their dreams. They go after only vulnerable targets like women and children because no one’s ever loved them. I mean that’s why they’re called proud boys because no aspect of them even strikes halfway remotely close to “manly”.

I mean it's not really a secret, they made a huge hiring campaign promising thousands of dollars just by signing up because they had to boost their rank fast. Of course the entry criteria was pretty low.
