[...] white people are experiencing the policing non-whites suffer from in this country

What ICE is doing has nothing to do with policing.

    The origin of policing in the US is runaway slave catching. It'd say its pretty damn in line with policing, historically speaking.

    What American police in general tend to do has nothing to do with policing. It's just that up until now white folk, outside of the absolute poorest classes, tended not to be on the receiving end of it.
