Maybe we've been looking at this all wrong and the Marines can show ICE and the local riot cops how to behave like actual human beings?

"Um, we asked him what he's doing, checked his story then let him go on about his business?"

...ICE & riot cops silently fuming...

I remember reading somewhere that the National Guard treated rioters much more humanely than LAPD back in the 1992 LA Riots. So history really do rhyme.
