@livinglava,
Purposefully misrepresenting the point through shifting the context is intellectually honorable. So, congrats.

Why not reform ICE, draw up a new code of behavior, and prosecute agents who abuse their power?
Because what the left wants is a total abolishment of law enforcement. Their only complaint about law enforcement is that it exists.

There's always going to be a law enforcement component to issues surrounding customs and immigration.
Not if the left gets their way.

That doesn't mean that enforcement has to be arbitrary, inhumane, or brutal.
ICE is none of those things.

Employees doing what they are told are good employees. It does not get any better than that, ask any boss.

Good for you, Warren
Quote:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Saturday rebutted former Vice President Joe Biden’s claim during a recent speech that Vice President Mike Pence is “a decent guy“.


“I’m sorry. I followed Pence’s history on LGBTQ Americans, and I don’t think that is a decent position,” Warren told a reporter who asked about Biden’s comment, per Iowa Starting Line. “I disagree.”

“You don’t think the Vice President is a decent man?” the reporter asked.

“No,” Warren responded.

If you think Black Lives Matter is bullshit, I double dog dare you to read Suspect Citizens by a white guy named Frank Baumgartner.

You’ll see the statistical and anecdotal evidence from 20 million cop stops in NC.

Philando Castile was stopped 46 separate times due to his color and neighborhood. Finally killed by cop the last time. These facts lead to wildly disproportionate stops for black people.

The mark of an intellectually honest human being is opening your mind to the fact that your current opinion might be wrong.

I expect that is going to take a double-dog-dare to the 16th power to get these chaps to open a good book.

Double dog dares used to compel good ole boys in rural South Georgia, so I had hopes.

A little nod to Craven de Kere for prying my mind open about 15 years ago. Some facts have sneaked in since.

@oralloy,
Talk to me after you’re stopped 46 ******* times for no reason. He told the officer he was removing a weapon from his possession.

You cannot know how you’d respond when you don’t live in Philando Castile’s planet.
