I also support law enforcement. I don't support ICE because they violate laws instead of enforcing.

This is, however, an awful time to be making such a statement even if that was the intended meaning.

Law enforcement actively supports ICE, therefore your support for them is also support for ICE.

Cops and corrupt judges support politicians. They may have claimed the title "law enforcement", but they don't seem to care about laws. I support the people who are actually enforcing laws, not the ones arresting innocent people.

He’s Australian, with a specific cop code: yes.

I don't believe cops enforce laws, they seem to just shoot at everything in panic (partially satire).

If any cops actually enforce laws, including arresting other cops who assault or kill innocent people, then yes, I will support them.

Exactly. Everything is so binary to conservatives. Sex, abortion, religion etc…. It’s like they have never experienced anything outside of their front door. I support LE too, to a degree. My tax dollars go to it and they aren’t always doing stupid shit. I have had many experiences with them, both good and terrifying (weapons drawn). They should hold themselves to the highest standards, and they often don’t.

ICE, on the other hand, can go jump off a cliff. Bunch of untrained Neanderthals with deadly weapons who hide behind masks like cowards. They are half-wit gestapo.

In theory I can imagine a scenario in which the cops don't suck. But one of the most important and unrealistic elements of that is cops would need to hold each other accountable for going too far or other ways in which they might damage the reputation of the profession. Widespread distrust of cops isn't some anti police conspiracy or cultural thing, it's a direct result of police protecting each other when they behave horrendously.
