What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.

Violent extremists like the Minnesota shooter are not lone wolves
The lone wolf metaphor used to describe mass shooters misinforms views of extremists – and hampers law enforcement efforts to deter the violence.
