Awesome. Force the police to identify themselves.
Just waiting for someone to dress up like ICE and kidnap ICE so we can have ICE with our ICE
Yo dawg…
All maga are terrorists. It is a terrorist organization.
It is like they should be identifiable. I forgot, but a member of congress made a good point how police have arrested way more dangerous people with their face and ID showing.
Nobody believes the made up attacks on ICE they just don’t want the social backlash of being casted out of their communities.
All I see is peaceful looting, surely they are insured.
This is not my actual take, but too many people on this site cheer when it’s masked “protesters” robbing businesses but wag their finger at this? I mean, you never see a post titled “THE RIOTER PROBLEM”.
Choose a moral standing that isn’t tied to political football.

Conservatives: “Y’all are cheering the rioters and looters. We’ll never support that.”
Progressive: waves a picture of a cop smashing a window, burning a car, and shooting a passerby without so much as a warning
Conservative: “How dare you?! HOW DARE YOU!! You just hate the police and want the looters to win!!! I hope the police arrest you and send you to a death camp!!!”
Liberal: “Okay, everyone calm down. Mr conservative, I’m sorry the progressive upset you like that. I also don’t like rioters and looters. Let’s talk about how we can find common ground.”
“oh my, some people used the chaos of the police breaking up lawful protesters to loot stores, surely the solution is to never protest authoritarian overreach ever again.” Go clutch your pearls somewhere else fucko.
He low key helped show why we want law officers to have a branded uniform, name tag and provide ID.
Low key?
I mean, sure that would be a nice fringe benefit of police reform.
But this was only possible because of the terror police inspire by their mere presence. Nobody is willing to fight back against this guy for fear he’s an actual officer. Nobody has any faith in the Real Police (assuming this guy wasn’t actually a cop who decided to moonlight as a robber) finding and stopping this guy.
It isn’t as though the crook couldn’t have slapped a “Hi I’m Jim_” name tag on his chest and done the exact same thing. You have to believe knowing the officer’s identify would result in some consequence to the owner of the gear in order to see that as a material benefit.
And wearing a mask to hide your identity while performing your job function is pretty sus.
Given the photos, this guy didn’t even use a mask! He could have gone full bear and been even more protected from discovery.
ICE peoples are criminals
Many commenters totally predicted this sort of thing.
To be clear, the ice people are also criminals, it’s just a different crime.
Yeah anyone now with a security/police/ice/military uniform is not acting with the constitution and is labeled a threat. They are not in charge of public safety anymore
not much stolen valor in this, I suppose.
How many ‘‘ICE’’ agents does it take to empty out a bank? I’m thinking of writing a Hollywood film.
“We’re seizing this money as evidence!”
What movie?
It was in the YouTube description as well but it’s from Southland Tales.
Wait until the purge to do it, then you’re not breaking the law.
Remember the right claiming Floyd protesters were all looters? Itso happens whenever the nation is in distress (in this economical and societal context) the smartest of potential crimedoers would take that as an opportunity. Whenever it’s some natural disaster or social conflict, there would be some to use it. And it’s fucking frightening that America came to the point that the thing that bothers us is that thugs didn’t have a real license to do thugs’ things, and every other article going by the #ICE tag is not just stealing, but kidnapping people into Salvador camps, so getting mugged by fake ICE officer is better than meeting the real ones now? It’s a fucking circus.
I don’t believe in God, but for shits and giggles, maybe this thing exists. I give it a little prayer every day and I say to myself, or to the magical creature, please God, Nuke America. I think we’re too goddamn stupid to have an armed revolution. We’re just going to keep standing in the ways of cars, getting run over at protests by dumbass neo-Nazis. While the Democrats just sit there with their thumb up their ass. Like Nancy Pelosi just counting money instead of doing her fucking job. Big tited, bored housewife got tired of drinking wine became a politician. Now she’s got the sellout genocide supporting AOC as her little pet. But yet, you know, none of this matters because America is an imperialist empire. And fascists are the useful idiots of empire. And when capitalism is in crisis, especially inside of the imperial core, well, you’re going to see some terrible things happen. One day, they’re going to use drones, killer drones, on American citizens, and AOC allowed that to be signed in a defense bill.
