"The Minneapolis Police Department went the entire year last year, recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds and hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone. And now, this is the second American citizen who's been killed, the third shooting within three weeks. People have been speaking out, saying that this was going to happen again… This is not sustainable." —Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara

Ok then Brian, how about you and your department go oh I don't know do your jobs?

I'm tired of seeing cops and politicians on TV or twitter just ensuring they get a good sound bite and not actually do anything. It's like the Mayor of Minneapolis who is all "fuck ice" ok then bro, tell your police chief...literally this guy...to go arrest them and kick them out.

    By themselves, they are outmanned and outgunned. There's been multiple stories about how they show up even with some order by a judge in hand and ICE/CBP just ignores them. From a practical perspective, they don't have much recourse if ICE/CBP ignores the law and has the force.

    We need to stand side by side with our judges and leos to enact our own force on these goons it sounds like.
