    So ICE just confirmed there are masked men posing as them. It would be a shame if someone shot a masked man in self defense.

      they are confirming it for plausable deniability if an agent is recorded doing something illegal.

      not saying it doesnt happen, but i am saying that its a perfect excuse.

      if they care they will force their agents to show their faces and wear identification. but they wont do that.

      so its kind of obvious this is just a bullshit excuse so they can continue doing illegal operations.

    Okay, so what’s to stop someone with the right resources pretending to do this and just kidnapping someone?

      Absolutely nothing. We’ve been told that ICE doesn’t have to ID themselves, and local police across the country are being directed to do nothing to hinder them. With about a couple hundred dollars of stuff (or much less if you don’t care about a working firearm or actual ballistic plates) and a rental van, this could be done by literally anyone, with very little accountability.

    How long before armed, masked men attempting to abduct people without identifying themselves are met with violence?

    I don’t understand why they think this is a good idea, unless they are hoping for aggressive responses…

    I would give them the violence they so desperately want. 2 thin red lines on the asphalt.
