    Why is it racist to call ICE masked thugs or gang members? 🤔Am I missing something?

      I’m guessing they think gangs/thugs implies black people. Which sounds more racist imo.

        I’m sure they think it implies Hispanics as well, but your point stands.

        You are correct on both accounts.

    LOL. They are not even cops but rather a bunch of random people with low morals, guns and DT on their side. I doubt that they even have basic military training.

      Cops shouldn’t have military training. They aren’t military.

        Military training and rules of engagement would be far superior to the way police act.

      They enforce the law, ergo they’re law enforcement and thus cops.

        They don’t enforce the law, they actively and famously ignore the law… Maybe at some point they could have been considered ‘cops’. Now they are militants.

      At least people who joined the police might be doing it for the right reasons (protect the vulnerable, lock up proper villains) even if the system is broken AF.

      People signing up for ICE… I mean your either a racist scumbag or an easily bought class traitor.

    I mean, yeah, kinda.

    But it’s also appropriate use of language to turn the very same labels around back at the state that uses them to marginalize citizens to begin with.

    So, I ain’t mad at it, even though this critique of it is true.
