I'm sure ICE took the time to examine the pistol while they were beating him and thought that they should take it and execute him on the street for buying/carrying a poorly made pistol. Such a dumb comment.
I support and respect law enforcement for what it is and acknowledge that they have a very difficult and dangerous job. I also comply with orders from law enforcement because I don't want to make a bad situation worse. But just like any other job people become jaded and there are assholes that get off on the power they wield over others and you never know which officer is going to step out of that car. However ICE are not here to serve and protect, they're a bunch of idiots with a badge and gun.
While I believe that objectively tracking down illegal immigrants and dealing with them on a case by case basis and following judicial procedures is an absolutely necessary task, ICE is completely wrong in their means and methods. Police are supposed to deescalate and meet resistance with equal force, not beat people or shoot them because they got frustrated or thought it would be fun. I know ICE are not police but they do have a gun and a badge, and should be required to follow the Constitution and jurisdictional rights of the states and human rights.
On my instance, you're currently showing 6 upvotes to 1 downvote. Given your take is nuanced and explains itself well, I find this really surprising.
I hope my view of the pulse of this community is just wrong, and someone can admit that police and even border enforcement (not necessarily through ICE as opposed to CBP) are necessary and not get their comment suppressed into oblivion.
