    You know you just described most current police with both statements correct?

    Please tell me you understand the current police are the same except wearing a different badge

      Improvements need to be made there for sure, but I’m 40 and it’s never been as bad as this in my lifetime.

      This is far different

        If you’re 40 you were alive during the Rodney King beating, the murders of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Aiyana Jones, John Crawford, Eric Harris, Botham Jean, and literally hundreds of others each year.

        So I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about because ICE and the rest of law enforcement has always been like this in the US.

          Incidents always happen but never at the rate of the last couple of years. Literally never.

        https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/long-painful-history-police-brutality-in-the-us-180964098/

        So if actually 40 missed the lapd riots because of police, there was the time the police bombed cites, there was the Baltimore police recently that while not killing were doing worse to the citizens than ice, NYPD for generations or what on average happens to dogs. Of course if not a minority probably don’t consider this an issue.

        Then there’s the racism aspect https://www.aclu.org/news/criminal-law-reform/what-100-years-of-history-tells-us-about-racism-in-policing

        Or the statics being higher than ice just not covered because media gets in trouble doing that (ie police blacklist them) https://policebrutalitycenter.org/police-brutality/statistics/

        Sorry I forgot what were we saying was the difference?
