      They just don’t care.

      ICE called for backup once because of protestors, cops if ored them, so they shot someone in a car because there was traffic, rammed another car in traffic, and then detained at least one US citizen.

      Cops want no part of it, it doesn’t mean they’re out their protecting citizens from ICE, they’re likely laughing about it.

      They can 100% still be shitty

      Or they’re doing this intentionally hoping that it sparks some bigger conflict, where they along with ICE ‘justify’ getting to pull out the real big boy toys to use on the populace. Considering the coordination and organization behind the “thin blue line” and my own personal experiences with police, I’m more inclined to believe this than all them suddenly growing a conscience and doing the right thing as an organization.
