Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm really getting tired of this "they targeted a citizen!" or "they targeted a police officer!"
Like, I guess it supposed to try and get people on the fence to realize what's going on. But, I don't think it actually works. I think it actually creates a disassociation between the large numbers of innocent victims and the "special case" of victims we see in the headlines.
It's essentially telling normies "hey, all the shit they are doing to noncitizens is fine. But you should care about these 3-4 cases of obvious white victims that actually have enough video footage for us to cover"
You know what normies are gonna think? Fucking nothing. We live in a country where people have normalized the mass shooting of toddlers. I don't think the hyper-focus on "perfect victims" is waking people up. I think it's making them feel as helpless to change anything as they did after Sandy Hook or Uvalde.
Edit: a cop is far from a "perfect victim" but the people that respect cops see it as such.
I disagree. It really disproves the myth that they're going after criminals only, that there isn't racial profiling going on, or that they're going off of targeted lists. Basically, it's so bad it can be used to reduce support for ICE, and we need that right now.
But the article is about racial profiling. These off duty cops aren’t white.
Yeah? Re-read my comment. I said it helps disprove the myth that they aren't.
You are right IMO, but I think the stories still help to show that ICE is out of control.
