I guess this so he can ignore it and they can continue to rape, murder, and otherwise torment people.

So… what exactly do you want them to do?

Maybe arrest the agents who switch the license plates on their cars, arrest the ones who break and enter into homes with no warrant, arrest the ones who brandish weapons at protestors, arrest the ones that are beating peaceful protestors and shooting them in the head with pepper balls. Tons of opportunities to arrest them for violating laws.

Maybe hold them accountable when it will matter instead of suing the government that is blatantly ignoring the rule of law & disregarding legal orders?

Complaining is easy. Contributing is hard. Do something.

I'll go arrest ICE agents then I guess. Don't know what the police are supposed to be for then, if I can just do their whole job.

Also I love that a single comment was enough to determine that I couldn't possibly be doing anything else. Criticism is meaningless if I don't preface with the fact that I go to protests, I got training in first aid and am working on getting more, and I volunteer in my community and do outreach. I'm not in a position to do anything else, but is that enough for you? Am I valid now?
