    How does this post even make sense in this community? literally written in the sidebar:

    The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.

      This is a SLIGHTLY different case than what the sidebar mentions.

      Yes, asking asking the police to investigate themselves is a non-starter.

      This post is advocating turning the state/local police against ICE, a federal agency.

      I agree, it’s unlikely to make a difference. But if you call 9-1-1 and report “Masked men in an unmarked car just kidnapped someone”, it’s way different from asking internal affairs to investigate another cop.
