    Pretty sure ICE agents see it as they get to shoot rubber bullets and throw tear gas at people protesting racism. They aren’t being forced to do it, they’re being given permission.

      ICE in particular has people in the field that aren’t getting paid… they’re volunteering because they want to hurt people without consequences

          That’s because law enforcement does need to exist in some form. Definitely not in its current state, but to say it needs to be abolished completely is a bad take.

          I mean, unless you’re fine with innocent people dying to vigilante justice.

            You’re fine with innocent people dying in state justice?

            I would rather see community defence or “vigilante justice” as your propaganda frames it over the systemic global cop crime, violence, and murder. I know which one looks out for the people and it ain’t the fucking bastards.

            Far, far worse things are happening than that with the current system. That’s why I advocate for abolition.
