This only ends when cops arrest any ice agents they see and charge them with criminal conspiracy.
We can't keep pretending this is anything else, because Trump's obviously going to step it up before the election, and then have ICE at polls to keep people away.
NYPD could do the funniest by actually protecting people and regaining some confidence from the public.
But it’s the NYPD so they wont
The same cops who also kill dozens of innocent people yearly?
Hundreds. Well over 200 unarmed people were killed by cops last year.
They should be upset that ICE is stealing their thing.
The same police who are supplying ICE "agents"? And/or who implicitly agreeing with and ignoring the presence of ICE in their own city? I'm sure this will resolve quickly, then!
Tell cops to arrest ICE
Arrest cops who refuse with every imaginable charge
Count on cops to be cowards
You're also drastically over estimating how much cops like ICE. Assholes rarely like other assholes showing up, it's a territory thing.
But like ...
What the fuck is your alternative? Just do nothing and hope it works out?
How about you go do that instead of telling people nothing will work so it's pointless?
I suppose you recognized the sarcasm...? But your response doesn''t match reality, regardless. Where are all the ICE arrests and/or covictions?
Even in "blue" or "purple" states, not seeing anything close to your claim... unless I'm missing something obvious?
...
I'm saying we need to do something, and your argument is we aren't doing it?
I think the issue is being able to put a couple thoughts together, you're not missing any necessary information, you're just not putting it together
Why would a conservative arrest a conservative? It can't happen.
Another brand new account telling people nothing will work so we shouldn't try anything?
It really is "30 days of midterms" already, isn't it?
No one is going to fall for this shit again
Look at my comment history. I am telling people to act, and to do MUCH more than just vote. Voting is just the first step. Not erasing the enemy will result in our deaths by genocide. There is simply no peaceful way out of a conservative infestation.
As long as conservatives continue to live, they will continue to kill the normal people. We are not permitted to discuss how to stop them here on Lemmy, so use your imagination. There is no way out of this that involves this infestation continuing to exist.
It's time to be proactive in removing the problem. We must get our hands very dirty. We must be extremely aggressive and precise. We must act against our enemy independently and locally, without relying on coordination with others. Be discrete. Be merciless. Be prolific.
Classic vague posting calling others to violent action
It's only vague because specific calls to action get removed and can result in a ban. Check my extensive comment history to see examples of that.
Oh I know why it's vague. I am pointing out that all these vague calls love telling other people to go do redacted shit.
If you're so insistent on fireworks then light em yourself. Quit hoping to get 'rid of a troublesome priest' in a fucking forum.
I practice what I preach. (Within the bounds of the law, of course.)
Asking fascists to save us from fascists will not work.
There are plenty of other ways it could end, but Americans are fucking cowards.
Yes for all the bluster they have had over the decades they really are a wet towel. Protest on weekends for a couple hours. Oh there is nothing we can do. Well if that is their outlook I hope they enjoy where ever they end up.
Don't know how it ended but Mineopolos? I think at least tried not sure it accomplished their goal though.
