“It is a sign that people aren’t happy within the U.S. government, clearly. The shooting [of Good] was the last straw for many people," Dominick Skinner, ICE list founder, told The Beast.
Information included in the new leak includes around “1,800 on-the-ground agents and 150 supervisors. Early analysis by the organization suggests that around 80 per cent of the staff identified remain employed by DHS,” according to The Beast.
F*** that. I’m a professor to public institution. My name salary and virtually everything else has to be public information.
These assholes should be required to be a lot more transparent than I am. I don’t get to beat anybody and ship them off to a third world hellhole prison.
I’m a major one for transparency. I will accept that a police or justice officer doing their job properly and reasonably, can still make enemies. A certain level of information security, of their private lives, is then reasonable to keep them and their families safe.
Their job life should be documented well however. If their body cam is not working, it should be assumed to hide something, until proven otherwise.
I also don’t see the US’s ICE as police or justice. They have shown none of the restraint and control expected of the role. They are armed thugs, with a powerful backer, and should be treated as such.
I think you’re 100% off base. We need as much transparency as humanly possible. You only see ice as a problem because it’s a problem for you.
I know what a lot of black folks that are terrified of getting stopped by the police under any circumstances. Your categorizing them differently and for good reason but it’s wildly misguided.
FYI, I’m not American, I’m watching from the outside.
The UK police, while they have their issues, are a lot better than American police. A lot of them also love the bodycams. They make their job a LOT easier, with far less hassle.
Our police are considerably more dangerous than yours. And all they have to do is turn off their body cams.
Unfortunately we live in completely different realities. I believe your cops are actually trained.
I mainly meant it as a goal to aim for. Police don’t have to be brutish idiots.
Our police use a “police by consent” mindset, rather than a “police by force” one. Most don’t even carry guns.
It certainly is, but it’s not the reality we live in currently. And there are so many boot lickers that we may never get there. Anytime you say something about military spending or police spending they just seem to ratchet it up in response.
