It's apparently such a know thing about cops just in general that it has its own "industry insider term" in the court system:
testilying.
testilying.
Police lie. All the time. In paperwork. To prosecutors. To the media. On the stand while testifying under oath. And even when in the very rare case their lies are exposed, they get to keep lying with few if any consequences. This pattern isn’t just limited to ICE.

"I'm the only Jedi in 1000 years who's studied the specific type of lightsaber fighting that can beat a fully-fledged Sith Lord... oh hey, my fellow Jedi, wanna tag along and be my ̶m̶e̶a̶t̶ ̶s̶h̶i̶e̶l̶d̶s̶ valued allies?"
I mean, frankly, his strategy of taking everybody who knew Palpatine was a Sith lord and getting them all killed instantly without even trying to disseminate the information widely or gain the support of other organs of the Republican government was a mistake, in retrospect.
Most vindicated character in Star Wars, imo

lol. yeah. As a (fmr) civics & history teacher... that's definitely not going to blow up directly in their faces the moment it's taught by anyone even half-competent.
Kansas Republicans and a Palantir-backed think tank want to require students to learn about communist and socialist regimes and pass a civics exam to graduate, all in response to political skepticism by Gen Z. (@kansasreflector.com)
Kansas bill calls for communism class and civics test in schools amid claims of ‘anti-Americanism’
Kansas state Sen. Brad Starnes, a Republican from Riley and a former district superintendent, wants K-12 public school students to learn about “communist and socialist regimes and ideologies, and take a civics exam to graduate high school.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

If someone’s go-to insult(s) is that of an edgy 9-yr-old from 30 yrs ago… you can safely assume they have absolutely nothing to add to any conversation & just flush them immediately.
It’s free, easy, & very satisfying.
