      The police. ICE might be a bunch of outsiders, but the police still live there. Their jobs become very difficult if the community rejects them. Also, they probably don’t like it when protesters call them fascists in front of their kids.

          If there’s one thing police like, it’s being celebrated. If there’s one thing police hate, it’s poor public opinion.

          You can cry about it, or you can hold them accountable.

          There’s a reason Minnesota was able to drive ICE out peacefully.

            you have never had to deal with police, and are working with an imagined version you made up in your head based on a fairytale someone told you.

            that kind of shit around such violent murderous thugs is very likely to get someone killed.

              There’s all kinds of videos on YouTube showing cop on cop arguments/fights. “You’re out of your jurisdiction!” Or “Yo that’s illegal, this man is free to go” or “you’re going to get us in trouble, get the fuck out of here”

    Fuck whitmire and the bike lanes he refused to ride in on. Really hope my fellow houstonians don’t fall for this “where the wind blows” shit come election time.
