We are spending 175 billion dollars on ICE to brutalize communities and traumatize children for life.

ICE Director, Todd Lyons, is LYING to the American public about why ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, didn’t have a bodycam when he murdered Renee Nicole Good.
I bring the receipts, including the Trump Executive Order that ended the use of body cams by ICE.

Update⚠️ on the post I shared about the 2 teenage US Citizens that Greg Bovino & his #ICE savages abducted from Target.
They tortured 1 & dumped him at a Walmart & the other is being held & his family is still trying to get him back.

Let’s see how the American public responds to Vance's “we believe young mothers should be shot in the street” political slogan.
After this week, that line will forever and always be JD's rallying cry.

What I told new colleagues last month. Reject the notion that cops don’t have time to think. Do not fall for that crap. That’s an excuse for repeat garbage behaviors. Make time to think. Slow down. Plan. React smartly. Determine WHAT IS THE POINT. Communicate. Or find a new job.
I told them to reject the notion cops don’t have time to think, that they simply must act. I say ‘if I tell you I’m gonna punch you in 90 seconds, you could go make a sandwich & still have time to figure out what to do.’ Well, you’ve got 90 seconds as you’re driving to the call..so use it wisely

To the notion of compliance: too many people saying ‘if she only complied’ as justification. Failure to comply doesn’t interfere with police work. Failure to comply IS police work. Otherwise just put signs up. It’s people not complying that we must handle smartly. With thought

I’ve said for the last 6 years while training new colleagues and have written several times in the Washington Post: if you didn’t have a badge & a gun, how would you handle this 911 call? Whatever you come up with that is legal, ethical, and kind, try that first.
