LAPD coming out en masse to protect ICE from the people of LA—instead of the other way around—says a lot about the morality of the LAPD and of city government. It says a lot about what non-cooperation with federal law enforcement actually means in practice.

Mayor Bass Has a strongly worded statement condemning the ICE raid, as if the city could not possibly have done anything to prevent it from happening. There is no such thing as non-cooperation with ICE as long as local police can be called out to fight the federal government's battles for them.

The bare minimum of non-cooperation would be just letting it happen, hands off, which clearly is not what went down yesterday. This was active facilitation. What would it look like for local governments to actively interfere with ICE raids? It's hard to imagine.

This is the Democrat version of Thoughts And Prayers, and I hope they know exactly where they can shove it.

The key thing is to make ICE not a fun job anymore. Their 'audience' needs to ramp up the humiliation. "Piss on them" needn't be a metaphor. Make it a job no "tuff dude" would want.

Those being abducted are as good as dead. This isn't ordinary protest, they aren't bottling water. It's about protecting Citizen. Let's hope LAPD and others wake up to that.

@other_ghosts This is why I'm really not sure what to *do* if I suspect a vehicle might be a kidnapping van. (As distinct from knowing a vehicle *definitely is* a kidnapping van... though that definitely would mean having to quickly decide exactly what scary risk to take.)

@other_ghosts tell the LAPD they're getting cucked by ICE? If they take all the immigrants and brown people and queers and disableds, then who will they beat on? They'll have to use their brains.
