In the news the goons were breaking into houses and someone was screaming that they had no warrant

[question everything]

Shouldn’t the Minneapolis police intervene?

1. why would they?

[question everything]

2. If any other goon would try to break into your house wouldn't you call the police?

3. I'm just wondering why people keep using this hypothetical -- the police should stop these break-ins! -- as if it has

any basis in reality. Right now, as I'm typing this, Minneapolis police are assisting ICE because ICE has shot at least one person over North. Assisting ICE. Not anyone who was shot.

4. agreed. seems naive, in the extreme (on at least a couple different levels)

and yet - it keeps coming back around.

5. And yet unidentified people on masks claiming to be ICE are breaking in

ICE "costume" gear is easily available online. How can the state and local government not intervene in the absence of clear identification.
Aside from how wrong it is on every level, let's play MAGA for a minute and just talk Money.
If that happens with impersonators and the police do not respond AND if there is still a functioning court system, the nonresponders are going to be liable for huge amounts of money.
And our tax dollars will be paying for it.

6. The "Fraternal Order of Police" in Minneapolis

issued a statement of support for ICE shortly after the invasion was announced. The widespread perception is that the police and NG are more inclined to support ICE than to protect citizens. This timeline sucks out loud!
