Good! The LAST thing we Want is to Investigate our Taxpayer Funded Police Force MURDERING AMERICANS IN THE STREET and KIDNAPPING CHILDREN TO PLACES NOBODY KNOWS!

Why would the fedz investigate that stuff? Murder, kidnapping, torture? It's no problem. Completely legal.

It's not like ICE is reading zines or something horrendous like that...

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

So you can just form this militia now, form it well, and stand off or even do some “legal self defence” with ICE agents, without the risk of it being investigated by the FBI.

I’m kidding, the fat pedo will clearly do any inflammatory stuff just to get enough of a pretext to declare Marshal Law in October.

So, when things go badly for ICE officers, the FBI won't investigate? 🤔

"Wait, not like that!"

The article says that they say they will continue to investigate "assaults on federal officers". Of course.

Obligatory "we've investigated ourselves and found we've done nothing wrong." Unfortunately, expect more executions "incidents".

Why would things go badly for such a well-loved group of people? Maybe they will also get "a day of love"

Great, nobody to stop the populace from hanging those ICE pigs from cranes until this fasc bullshit stops

hanging those ICE pigs from cranes

lol

Sure, hanging them from the ceiling would work fine. But hanging them 70ft in the air from a crane is just doing it with so much more style.

There's more of a chance assholes with the potential to act like ICE will see them that way also.

Gotta have that panache!

Also, just my subtle way of reinforcing the “breaking the state monopoly of violence” angle and not the dark history of racist violence

Think Ken McElroy not Michael Donald

Like, at all? If the confrontation ends in a group of dead fascist agents?

This might not be such a bad thing.

That makes sense. Why waste time and money when the only possible outcome for any investigation is, "We didn't do anything wrong"?

Zaktor@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 15d

The federal government isn't going to stop investigating, that farce plays an important role in pacifying centrist idiots, they're just going to switch responsibility to ICE itself so things will be handled by the organization that is funded like a national military and who is less prone to wasting money for the "professionalism" or doing it the old ways.

So that means we are free to form vigilante groups that look like ICE but go around and find ICE raids happening and take them all down from the back. Then get all their gear and give it to new members of the organization and repeat. Won’t be long till ICE is demolished and no investigations on how it happened.

What else should we expect from these fascists? The FBI is a disgusting, racist cesspit.

Fash support fash.
