As a former police officer, I fear for the safety of the police, especially after this. Most officers are not racist, awful people. They will be a target now because of this fake officer and frightened citizens won't know who to trust. This mask wearing of ICE needs to stop. Not only do they look like Proud Boys (probably many of them are), you need to show your face when you are detaining people and taking them into custody. Real police don't wear masks and these brown shirts of Noem's need to get rid of them. Just makes me sick to see what's happened to this country.
That's a given. I was just trying out for small victories, like the masks. All of his appointments need to go. Horrid, just horrid bunch of people. And we thought Trump I was bad. It looks like a day at the beach compared to Trump II.
There are white supremacists in law enforcement. Lots of them. I'm from Louisiana, so it's quite a common occurrence. They're everywhere, just like the Confederate sympathizers that allowed the insurrection to take place at the Nation's Capitol.
Unfortunately, you're right. The military and law enforcement historically has been right wing. I was a cop in Indianapolis, but that was 20 years ago. Things seemed different then. I don't remember being on a run in the sheriff's department and seeing prisoners being mistreated. But I was a reserve and if there were dirty things going on, it would probably have not been done in front of the reserves. I still have friends back there, but we don't discuss politics. I'm assuming they're Republican voters. I also have only lived in the North my entire life. Not saying that there are no racists in the North, because there are, but I think that maybe some of it is more behind the scenes than in the South.

Need to get rid of Noem and her thugs, not just the masks!

My sentiment Dave, abolish HHS and ICE!!
But who will protect the Homeland?????
Remember when DHS was formed? I thought that would be the end of us. Then. Turns out I was 20+ years too early.
Your vision may have come early, but like Citizens United, it spelled the beginning of the end Hannah!!
