4 days ago by MicroWave to c/politics

Agents surrounded the man and child in his car before firing multiple rounds, according to Zohran Mamdani

A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot a man in New York City on Thursday afternoon, according to the city’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

Early reports indicated that agents had surrounded the man and a five-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds, the mayor said in a statement on Thursday evening. The child was physically unharmed, according to Mamdani.

The individual who was shot was conscious and taken to a hospital, the NYPD said in a brief statement.

This only ends when cops arrest any ice agents they see and charge them with criminal conspiracy.

We can't keep pretending this is anything else, because Trump's obviously going to step it up before the election, and then have ICE at polls to keep people away.

NYPD could do the funniest by actually protecting people and regaining some confidence from the public.

The same police who are supplying ICE "agents"? And/or who implicitly agreeing with and ignoring the presence of ICE in their own city? I'm sure this will resolve quickly, then!

  1. Tell cops to arrest ICE

  2. Arrest cops who refuse with every imaginable charge

  3. Count on cops to be cowards

You're also drastically over estimating how much cops like ICE. Assholes rarely like other assholes showing up, it's a territory thing.

But like ...

What the fuck is your alternative? Just do nothing and hope it works out?

How about you go do that instead of telling people nothing will work so it's pointless?

I suppose you recognized the sarcasm...? But your response doesn''t match reality, regardless. Where are all the ICE arrests and/or covictions?

Even in "blue" or "purple" states, not seeing anything close to your claim... unless I'm missing something obvious?

Look at my comment history. I am telling people to act, and to do MUCH more than just vote. Voting is just the first step. Not erasing the enemy will result in our deaths by genocide. There is simply no peaceful way out of a conservative infestation.

As long as conservatives continue to live, they will continue to kill the normal people. We are not permitted to discuss how to stop them here on Lemmy, so use your imagination. There is no way out of this that involves this infestation continuing to exist.

It's time to be proactive in removing the problem. We must get our hands very dirty. We must be extremely aggressive and precise. We must act against our enemy independently and locally, without relying on coordination with others. Be discrete. Be merciless. Be prolific.

Conservatives are celebrating this shit. They desperately want us to finish the civil war while they hold the military.

No matter how this turns out, I will never, ever forgive any conservative. Their lives are 100% valueless to me now. It feels insane that I spent decades being so friendly and polite with them.

I devote the remainder of my life to ending as many of theirs as I can (within the bounds of the law, of course). There is no such thing as a good conservative anywhere on earth. They are ALL truly, deeply evil.

Fun fact: Nothing that ICE enforces carries a death penalty, nor are any violent offenses part of their mandate. So why do they need guns at all?

Obviously I'm asking this sardonically, since we know the real answer. Just felt like pointing it out.

I think, to deal with these right-wing assholes, we need to bring back an eye for an eye justice.

Whatever they do during Trump's term will be repaid to them and their communities.

I want to see fascists dragged out of church on Sundays and arrested for the same kinds of technical violations that put mexicans in ICE's crosshairs. A DUI from 25 years ago? A gram of weed in college? Fuck it, lock them in a concentration camp and deport them to the fucking Sudan.

Don't even get me started on which members of the administration should expect the Hegseth Firing Squad ending.
