The question isn’t whether ICE has become secret police or its functioning legally within very bad law. Very bad law made it possible for form secret police.

He’s hilarious. The level of skill, etc in the Texas NG is the same as every other state’s. They all receive the same dang training. *sigh*

I assumed you and many others do care because you are drawing attention to it (and I am grateful for it). Just saying that many we depended on before to care & lead the way for accountability don’t & many who see this kind of thing do not because they aren’t the one being hog tied.

And that should be adhered to, and there should be regular and rigorous consequences and accountability for lack of adhering to the standards. I do care because I worked in the justice field for so long, & was trained to not harm juveniles when necessary to restrain them.

Clarity was needed, for sure. “Who cares about that?” Was directed at the fact that there are so many people who do not. This is not even a thought for them. There are too many people who don’t care about the fact that there are training standards & ways to safely restrain someone w/o harming them.

Most of the tactics I have seen folks using in video and photos are big no-nos. And are not how folks with good standardized training are trained to do. But who cares about that?

Hmmmm, and lower income don’t follow as closely…maybe because they working all the time and don’t have time to dedicate to sports watching?

Sounds like it needs to be explicitly stated in the will. With threats of haunting if requests are not honored. #HATM

My husband just said “so this movie is Footloose, with a little bit of a plot twist.” Oldest’s boyfriend: “So this is like Happy Feet.”
Someone come rescue me from these people!! #HATM
