You guys act like law enforcement are homicidal maniacs just looking for whatever excuse it is to kill someone. You act like Ross was just sitting at home one day writing down all these possible circumstances that could come up in which he could kill someone and it would be "OK" and then mentally preparing for that moment so he can kill someone because the only reason he signed up for the job was so he could kill someone and not get in trouble essentially.
Depends on the law agencies I suppose. In general law enforcement people do not act like that. In France, Germany, the UK, Japan, Switzerland or Swahili law enforcement probably aren't looking to deliberately kill people.
In America specifically its a bit more murky. I can understand the idea that everyone a cop could talk with potentially being able to have a gun that can kill them is intensely frightening. Which seems an argument not to have the public have them but whatever. If officers are trapped in perpetual lethal environments then one flying off the handle can indeed be an unfortunate result without anyone having any ill will about the situation. However there have been cases where police brutality in the US goes beyond this explanation and where bad faith seems to exist. Like sitting on a handcuffed man's neck for minutes long till he dies from it. Or firing if someone's hands are up.
But ICE in particular? I'm not even giving them that benefit of the doubt. With how their ranks got filled with any far right loon the agency got it hands on, and how they are gleefully in near war with the public its dubious to even compare them with actual law enforcement. Whether they deliberately set out to murder people depends on the officer I suppose, but in general they seem motivated by resentment, the idea that brown people are animals, and that the public should ''
find out if they fuck around!''
I do indeed think that the chance to brutalize some brown people, and maybe leftists to boot, as well as supporting far right ideology was a bigger motivator then any particular love for the law. And the fact that traitors from Jan 6 can be found in their ranks does little to prove otherwise.
I do not think they care about ''keeping America safe'' beyond the absurd idea that brown people are animals who need to be contained and who are always violent and in the US to rape and murder, rather than to just do thankless work for well below minimum wage. And while they might not (usually) strive to murder they likely are deliberately escalating the situation, and are gleeful to use force when they can do so. Its worth pointing out that none of the ICE killers seemed to feel remotely guilty about what had happened.
Yeah, I know the whole Greenland thing was just so another country didn't get access
That's doubtful since the US already had every tool in the toolbox to prevent that country from getting access. Not that such a thing should even be up to America. They don't own the area, and are given extensive privelages because they are allied with the country that does, which they apparently were supremely ungrateful for.
If it really was about keeping the Russians out the US would merely have asked ''hey dudes can we expand our base in Greenland as you already agreed with?'' And then Denmark would say ''ja, det var aftalen'' and we'd all get on with out frigin day. But somehow that wasn't allowed to be the case and instead the filth started to talk about stealing the region.
Not to mention that the Russian navy can't even win a naval war against an enemy without a navy. So what is the US so frantic about?
