Hi German here, we say fuck ICE a lot because it's a fast Train who always comes late. But to make a long story short, I am missing something here, what does ICE stand for?

[–] [email protected] 90 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the US. They're basically the ones who raid homes and businesses looking for undocumented workers

And don't forget about separating parents from children, holding illegal immigrants in overcrowded cells made from chain link fences inside buildings.... They are America's version of the Show me your papers patrol.

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, border patrol. They're notorious for the abuse of immigrants(even legal ones) trying to cross over from Mexico.

For real, fuck ICE. My fully booked evening train got cancelled after we had already boarded, the next two that day were fully booked as well, I had to find an airbnb with a toddler and travel the next day, and they replaced just half of the ticket price because I cOuLD HaVe tAKeN AnOtHer TrAiN

Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Basically the federal border control cops that for some damn reason have jurisdiction anywhere within 250 miles of the border.

They let a bad apple spoil the bunch by not getting rid of the bad apple. Reaping what they sow.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Well, you see. Those in charge want that apple there. Because when push comes to shove that apple will also kill activists, protestors and political opponents without asking questions or refusing orders. He will keep fellow apples in check and keep them from speaking up as well. They like that apple.

Fuck inter-city express (ICE)? Yeah i agree the Deutsche Bahn is horrible & unreliable. Also their trains are always late.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

While those trains are indeed always late, at least they don't pollute cities the way that ICE (Internal Combustion Engines) do!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hey, at least internal combustion engines are useful for something

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hey ! My dad's an internal combustion engine

It doesn't, though.

The problem is the institution, not the nice people that think being a cop is a good way to make societies better.

There's shitty cops, and the command chain that does nothing about it. That's the problem.

Antagonising common peoples dads, and the people trying to be nice cops,and failing, is not the way.

We have to point at the right problem. And if you point at the corrupt chain of command nice cops will back you up.

Sir, this is the internet. There is no room for this kind of thinking. I'll kindly ask you to pick up your pitchfork and join the back on the line.

Every "good cop" is one that looks the other way when the bad cops do bad cop things. Or they are actively in the process of being harassed out of the department for "making trouble".

Though it should also be said that the modem anti-cop movement comes from the correct understanding that their primary purpose is to protect private property interests, not your safety. Even the theoretical "nice" cop is spending their time, effort, and focus on store break-ins and broken windows and harassing homeless people that a business owner calls an "eyesore" or worse. But again, if they don't carry water for the rest of their gang members that "nice" cop is getting kicked out of the department.

They're also seems to be a lot of issues with policy that they're expected to follow. And when they do unconstitutional stuff, they get defended for doing it.
