    There’s an alternative…

    It’s super easy, would require zero bloodshed.

    Armed protest.

    I’ve never seen a cop shoot a protester when other protestors were in eyeshot with rifles.

    I’ve never even seen ICE where a protestor is visibly armed, because if they see that, they fucking leave.

    The reason shit is so bad is because ICE knows they’ll never be held accountable in court. Literally the only way they believe they could ever face any consequences is if someone shoots them in the moment. And rather than behave when they see armed protestors, they just go to where no one is armed.

    So fuck it, this Merica. Carry a big scary fuck off rifle.

    I guarantee ICE won’t run up on you. And if everywhere they went people showed up with rifles, they’d stop going places all together.

      I think the opposite - in normal times I wouldn’t think cops would fire on armed protesters, but let’s face it - that’s ICE’s endgame. They’d love nothing more to claim “fear” and unleash the beast.

        If that was true, then why is it so hard to find a picture/video of ice with a single visibly armed protester in view?

        Like, by your logic they’d be looking for it, yet I’ve been trying and failing to find an example of them just existing with 100 yards of an armed protestor…

        And I can’t understand why people are shocked ICE agents shit and run when they see a gun.
