Great example of " a distinction without a difference"
Comment on ICE Agents pepper spray, beat up, and kill a person, after forcefully capturing him.

Not ICE this time around, but the fascist pricks in the federal border patrol.

An important distinction nevertheless. There are a lot of calls to abolish ICE, not so many to abolish the US Border Patrol.
If I was American I’d at least like to keep track of who is executing me in the streets. But maybe I’m just a pedant.

Excellent point.

This is very confusing. How should we clear it up?
Here’s an idea, anyone claiming or acting like law enforcement in your neighborhood that has no badge, no warrant, no visible face, they get gunned down in the fucking street, no hesitation nor questions asked.
How’s that for clarification?

They have been stocking up on heavy military surplus materials for years and are incredibly horny to get to use it. These people are extremely excited about the prospect of civil war. They are not afraid of people fighting back, they are drooling their idiot faces off daydreaming about it.
So yeah, maybe try to think up a more efficient form of resistance, though I sympathize with the sentiment.

Even if thats what the top wants, it’s not reflected on the untrained cowards on the streets. They were caught on video fleeing from their own gunfire.
They will escalate, whether we act or not. That’s how we got here.
Act accordingly.
Also, asymmetric warfare works wonders. Ask any country that has had to fight the US in the last four decades and sustained those wars for decades.

Oh yes, because the countries the US invaded for natural resources have all been thrilled to have been murdered by american soldiers.
War is shit. Find a better solution.
