      Just because everyone is repeating it all over it still isn’t an accurate analogy. The Gestapo operated secretly. They usually came at night. The thugs acting illegaly but with impunity were the SA, immediately after Hitler got in charge, 1933, and before national socialist legislation like the Nürnberger Rassengesetze and the Ermächtigungsgesetz were active.

        You say that but the stories I heard from my grandparents was completely different. The Gestapo did many razzia’s during the day. My great grandfather was taken this way for smuggling downed allied pilots back to England. He was tortured for 2 weeks, then sent to Birkenau where he died. He lived in Zeeland The Netherlands and the Gestapo did raids on all the farms on a weekly basis. My family usually got tipped off by the first farm on the road as some farms were required to have a phone in case of an invasion by the allied and the Germans needed a phone nearby to report to HQ. But he got snitched by his neighbor. My grandfather from the other side of the family did sapper tasks in the resistance, blowing up railway tracks and communication lines. The Gestapo was actively hunting them (luckily without success) out in the open, executing random civilians as a warning. Both the Gestapo, SS and SD. Everyone knew who the Gestapo were, they always drove the same cars.

    How is that first sentence a question? It’s giving me a Ron Burgandy vibe. Am I just looking at it wrong?

      Any sentence with the word “who” in it is automatically a question, duh?

    Let’s all kindly remind these ding dongs that this murderer was a federal agent, not police. Not that it would have been ok if they had been police. If a police officer had committed this act, they also would have to face murder charges.

    I also support law enforcement. I don’t support ICE because they violate laws instead of enforcing.

    This is, however, an awful time to be making such a statement even if that was the intended meaning.

      Law enforcement actively supports ICE, therefore your support for them is also support for ICE.

        Cops and corrupt judges support politicians. They may have claimed the title “law enforcement”, but they don’t seem to care about laws. I support the people who are actually enforcing laws, not the ones arresting innocent people.

      Exactly. Everything is so binary to conservatives. Sex, abortion, religion etc…. It’s like they have never experienced anything outside of their front door. I support LE too, to a degree. My tax dollars go to it and they aren’t always doing stupid shit. I have had many experiences with them, both good and terrifying (weapons drawn). They should hold themselves to the highest standards, and they often don’t.

      ICE, on the other hand, can go jump off a cliff. Bunch of untrained Neanderthals with deadly weapons who hide behind masks like cowards. They are half-wit gestapo.

        In theory I can imagine a scenario in which the cops don’t suck. But one of the most important and unrealistic elements of that is cops would need to hold each other accountable for going too far or other ways in which they might damage the reputation of the profession. Widespread distrust of cops isn’t some anti police conspiracy or cultural thing, it’s a direct result of police protecting each other when they behave horrendously.
