    Downvotes are because, per the sidebar:

    Our definition of ‘cops’ is broad, and includes prison guards, probation officers, shitty DAs and judges, etc — anyone who has the authority to fuck over people’s lives, with minimal or no oversight.

      Well, that’s fair then. Funny to see the downvote used properly lol.

      I still stand by my second point. ICE are different than the cops and the rest, operating far outside any laws, and if the cops and company were better… at least when there was police injustice, sometimes citizens could fight back using the legal system. So far I haven’t heard of that happening with ICE, it might take a different kind of approach.

        ICE might not be the same as your average beat cop, but they’re absolutely operating like a secret police force.
