    They’re not protecting citizens from ICE either…

    The absence of evil is nice and all, but that’s not the bare minimum for good.

    And cops still do a lot of evil on their own.

      This is very much a situation where they sure as shit ain’t our allies but if ICE wants to make an enemy of the police I’m not gonna stop that mistake

        Cops are elitists and view themselves “basically military”…

        So when ICE thinks of themselves as “basically cops”, they get the same result from cops as cops get from the military.

        I’ve got disabled vet plates, and I have to be driving extremely stupid just to get pulled over. And then the cop is always tripping over themselves to apologize for it before I even say a word.

        The loyalty is one sided. I don’t give a fuck about a cop, and a cop doesn’t give a fuck about ICE.

      Cops know that. They also know people who live there know it to.

      ICE has no obligation to protect Chicago cops.

      If a city began using it’s police to hinder federal agents that would make it easier for them to send in the national gaurd

          Yeah they are just standing around, police fighting federal agents amounts to an insurrection. We may very well need that, but it’s not going to be a pleasant time when the national gaurd starts shooting
