    Like maybe a year ago Americans taking pot shots at ICE might have spooked them back into their basements. But now ICE has galvanized a culture of general oppression. They’re just itching to Tiananmen an entire peaceful protest.

      Eh. I think they would still shit themselves if they started wondering what those whizzing and popping noises were.

      But it would basically work “once”. Then they would just assume any mass of protesters were black kids with toy trains and unload with their ar-15s. And every single “raid” would become a no knock where they just sneak up and kick down the door and flashbang and shoot at any kids they see while “getting their man”. Because now they are up against an army of terrorists.

        Yup. The multiple clips of them saying to the effect of, “haven’t you people learned yet?” is so damning.
