  1. So now they care? After some of their own get affected? Like every conservative when their god does something that affects them specifically?

    Thats despicable. I have faith that if this police chief came together fully with his community they could keep themselves safe from almost anything.

    This is a sad day for America.

  3. What’s the endgame here? Are they trying to intimidate local cops into compliance? This feels like a power play more than anything else.

  4. Can they just not arrest the ICE agents? Pretty sure they can and then let the courts sort it out a few months from now. Send them to jails in the middle of nowhere MN, without phones or clear directions on how to get there, without due process. I mean, ICE does it, why not MN cops?

  5. >“As this went on over the past two weeks, we started hearing from our police officers the same complaints as they fell victim to this while off-duty. Every one of these individuals is a person of color who has had this happen to them,”

    In the best of all possible worlds, being racially profiled by assholes with lots of guns and lots of entitlement will be a little bit of a wakeup call to local cops about not doing the same themselves. Let’s see how that goes.

  6. They aren’t targeting cops. They are targeting minorities, some of which happen to be cops. 

    There is no rhyme or reason to who they are stopping besides racism. 

  7. At first they came….

    Let this be a lesson for any other city and state police force out there. Fascists always target the most vulnerable and then, as it eats itself alive, it drags every bit of the indifferent population along with it.

    Maybe if they did a better job of, well, the protecting and serving that we asked of them.

  8. A president is terrorizing a state for political theater.

    It’s absurd how the media pussy foots around blatant fascism.

    Well maybe the cops shouldn’t have been helping the fucking ice agents. If you tell them to get fucked the first time you don’t have to deal with their bullshit the second time.

  10. Sounds like the police officers should start arresting the criminals. These agents do not have immunity. There is no law, nor any clause in the constitution which says ICE agents can break the law without consequences despite what the toddler in chief will try to tell you.
