Homan on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."
Children have been LOST or locked up for months with no chaperone. Sexual assault allegations are through the roof. People are straight up missing. This is not justice.
Fuck that guy and fuck ice. Wants to talk about following the laws and judicial systems- but only for the average person. Not those who are supposed to know and uphold them. What about the girls missing or pregnant in detention centers? The deaths in detention centers? The leaks of torture, starvation, withholding meds? Those aggrieved are still supposed to just let that shit happen and hope that courts go against historical precedence and actually hold them accountable? Fuck him. Fuck ice.
This would at least seem credible if ICE had law enforcement officers, but they're hiring unqualified thugs, handing them a badge & guns, and masks (apparently) to hide their identities, then sending them out in unmarked SUVs to murder US citizens in cold blood. We understand ACAB; this is a few steps lower even than them! Homan should pray to reach Human status before he dies.
10 years ago I used to say the exact same thing. Comply and fight injustice in court. But then i saw what happened to Philabdo Castille, a man who was shot in front of his wife and kid while doing everything he was told to do. That was the proof I needed that compliance does not equal safety. Fuck this guy.
You can and you should resist unlawful behavior of "law enforcement officers", because nobody is above the law and the only way to uphold the law in a society is when everyone calls the other out when they break the law. Especially when law enforcement is involved, because these people should only answer to the highest possible standard.
Of course ICE agents fail at every level of this statement.
Any reporter worth their salt would have retorted with, "Your view then is Secret Service should have shot many more would-be Capitol invaders on January 6th?"
Hold up, non-compliance still should not equate to an execution regardless. There's nothing in the term "Law Enforcement" that allows for the determination of sentencing and the enactment of said sentence, period. This excuse in not valid and cannot be tolerated.
Yep. How often are "resisting arrest" charges made when there was no lawful arrest? Even if you ask "Am I under arrest, or being detained?" And they say no, you almost then have to say "then I can be resisting arrest." And even still, they'll try. Cops HATE when you point out the logical flaws, and would rather shoot you in the back than be wrong about the law.
Because their entire training (and power fantasy) is control. Step 1: control the scene. Step 2: figure out what's going on / commit murder. The shit hit the fan when we gave them qualified immunity to rearrange those two steps, and now it's just clown shoes letting them argue self-defense when they're the ones showing up with guns and escalating.
"Get out of here...stop, bam bam bam... stupid bitch." Cops often give contradictory orders to force situations that open them up to being able to claim they feared for their life.
Another note to the pigs: the administration will change well before the statue of limitations runs out on your crimes. If you got paid, we know who you are and how to find you.

If ICE is law enforcement, then what law are they enforcing?

Not doing as instructed by police does not automatically equal a death sentence. Unless you are in an authoritarian police state.

They don't even have jurisdiction over citizens, even if they were hiring proper professionals.

End qualified immunity for these criminals...

What a fucking piece of fucking human shit-stained fucking garbage. I hope that one day he is forced to just comply with law enforcement.

It was the law enforcement that needed to comply with the law, not the innocent people.

Naah, they will kill you anyway.

It just means you die in a cell rather than out in the open.

As was proven by every ICE killing. They kill you if they just feel like it without warning or reason.

Must have missed the part where they told Alex Pretti anything at all.

And Renee Good was doing her best NOT to hit the ICE agent, was NOT UNDER ARREST, and was just trying to get clear of the situation.
Side note to ICE thugs: You can't claim someone was resisting arrest if no arrest was made.

Even if you are guilty of whatever the police are hassling you for they do not have the right to execute you.

They’re not police, they’re Gestapo
