So you should assume they're criminals and defend yourself unless they properly ID themselves

Or several

IDs are easy to forge.

Also, do you think you could identify a federal agency card, especially if it's just flashed at you? I sure couldn't.

It’s like in a movie when they flashed their credentials through the door peep hole And it just says FBI in blue ink. That could be anything. Are we going to make a law that they will abide to where they hand me their ID, I get to check the infrared markings and hold it up to the light to see the Reflective parts? Do their identifications even have that?
I say shoot first ask questions later

Thats what I heard.

Is this not the logical fucking conclusion of establishing a secret police with no transparency or accountability.

The only real way to sort this out is to shoot everyone who says they are federal agents but won't identify themselves. Especially if they are wearing masks.
Either you'll shoot a bad guy pretending to be a federal agent, you'll shoot a bad guy that is a cowardly federal agent. It's a win win.

This story is saying the imposters will identify themselves incorrectly.
Use that information appropriately

I'm surprised it hasn't happened more often.

That's why they've been targeting areas with low gun ownership and vulnerable demographics.

LA and Chicago have a shit load of guns.
SupraMario@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 288d
Yea....in areas that they're staying the hell out of. They're not going into gang territory if you have noticed. They're hitting up daycares and grocery stores.
Scubus@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 288d
Funny you mention that, ICE is known to put their stations in between grocery stores and daycares
SupraMario@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 288d
Yep, basically picking on people who can't or won't fight back.

How can they tell it's not actual ICE? Just because they robbed an ATM, they aren't real ICE?
doubt

Maybe that catalytic converter contained illegal immigrants

100% of ICE agents are actually criminals, but not all criminals are ICE agents.

Oh wut, no way, who could have seen this coming?

For now I'd say if you see an unmarked car call the local police and say the vehicle matches the description of people impersonating officers.
States should just pass laws that if masked men in an unmarked car jump out with guns it should be fully legal to shoot them and the state will fully reimburse their legal cases and will pay a certain amount of bail.

I condemn violence against law enforcement agents...
which is why we should help them by getting rid of these DANGEROUS masked ARMED THUGS, who are OBVIOUSLY NOT a law enforcement officer.
something something thin blue line.
So, please, fellow patriots, protect our beloved officers by shooting the masked armed thugs, who are OBVIOUSLY criminals!
USA USA! 👊🔥🇺🇸🦅🎆
Please help spread the word on your favorite #Patriot social media platform. 1 share = 1 prayer... etc...

Listen. If ICE can tell the difference between a citizen and an immigrant, then you can tell the difference between ICE and imitators. Right? ....right?

Those who commit crimes against humanity should also ID themselves to make it easier for justice to find them in the future

Wait.
So... Patel is telling Noem that her goons are doing it wrong, and they actually do need to present IDs, identify themselves?
Come on Republicans, do a Night of the Long Knives already, just get it over with.

Yeah no shit? Nobody could have seen this development?!

They're fucking lying if they said they didn't see this coming.

100% of ICE agents are actually criminals, but not all criminals are ICE agents.

As if they passed out IDs to them when they got hired.

This could make the "Stand Your Ground" Oblasts rather entertaining.

I'm a federal agent!

Guesses as to how many subpoenas I receive due to this satiridal statement?
