So they'll go beat the right person now?

This is the beating victim ICE deserves, but not the one it needs right now. /s

The gestapo is above the law.

Gotta get the practice in.

Did they stop once they figured it out?
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 100d
Surprised they didn’t shoot him to kill the witness.
Corvidae@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 100d
According to the story, they figured it out after they'd put him in a vehicle and were going somewhere.

"Whoops!"
Witchfire@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 100d
...then they beat the teen for looking suspicious, probably

Please stop referring to it as "ICE". It's filled with Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, and KKK members. Just call it what it is, white supremacists.

They have an official label. It’s ICE. That’s the name that they’ll make movies about in the future. Please use the right name. It’s an all encompassing group filled with all the bad people you mentioned.

ICEatzgruppen has a certain… resonance to it

What's the benefit of not referring to ICE as ICE? What they're doing should reflect on the organization as a whole. They should not get to say "well they weren't our agents, I don't know what you're talking about."

It's "nice" now
Rusticus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 100d
It’s giving white supremacy a normalized name. Most people don’t know it’s all racists. Maybe KKK-ICE?
crimson_iris@piefed.social · 5 pts · 100d
But that creates a distinction the people in charge can use to deny what's happening. Now and in the future. "It's a small group of bad apples, most ICE agents aren't like that." Etc. It's all of them. The whole agency has to go. For that purpose, I think continuing to just call them ICE is useful.

The Venn diagram of “people who don’t know ICE is racist” and “people who would be okay with ICE being racist” is just two concentric circles. By this point, if they don’t already know, it’s because they have intentionally avoided the information. Willful ignorance isn’t going to be solved by referring to ICE by a different name. If anything, it will only enable the willful ignorance by allowing them to go “but that’s not actually ICE!”

Anyone who doesn’t know it’s all racists would love the fact that it’s all racists.
I hope cameras are rolling when the first one gets domed.
Witchfire@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 100d
Just call them the gestapo
