In reply to the discussion: 20 ICE Agents Armed With Rifles Just to Take Down One 60-Year-Old Woman selling Tamales [View all]DFW
(58,487 posts)This seems like the bad guys arent government agents at all, but thugs working for private contractors hired by ICE. Arms Length they call it, so that when the body count starts, not one actual government employee will have been guilty of anything, or even traceable to the perps. The only guilty parties will be the ones who defend themselves against these hired gangsters unless they get confronted by groups in numbers far superior to their own, and armed with weapons they are equally adept at both using and not using unless absolutely necessary for self defense.
Take down a few groups of these thugs, unmask them, charge them with assault and kidnapping, with film evidence to back it up. They will have no written orders on them, no warrants, no solid proof that they are anything other than criminals working for a criminal organization. They carry no government ID, not to protect their identities, but, to my way of thinking, because they have no goverbment ID. They collect their pay quietly (cash?), and vanish back into obscurity. Eventually, someone will crack, testify, and then let the round of prosecutions start: Watergate II.
Im just dreaming, I know, but I was there to see Nixons thugs jailed. Its not completely without precedent. We had to be paient, but it DID happen.
