Damn not that miserable if they still showing up for kidnapping the next day

Then quit, you fucking Nazi cunts. You’re lucky there isn’t someone going around, carving swastikas into your foreheads.

[–] leftthegroup@lemmings.world 9 points 2 days ago

Why quit when you can seppuku? That should be the goal here.

We should be chanting "Death to ICE" Just like that "death to the IDF" guy.

Wouldn’t surprise me if these people couldn’t land jobs as run-of-the-mill police officers, much less mall cops. That, and they probably enjoy the anguish they inflict on others.

Have you seen the standard for cops? It's almost as low as priests. Screw up somewhere, just get yourself shuffled to another place if things haven't blown over by the time your paid leave is up.

A cop where I used to live resigned in disgrace after a dashcam caught him pulling over a car while off duty (possibly drunk), pulling out his gun and threatening to shoot the driver.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he worked for ICE now.

Good, they’re traitorous cockroaches and I’m probably insulting cockroaches with the comparison

[–] AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Most house infestations of cockroaches are German cockroaches.

The native American cockroach prefers to live outside or in naturally damp areas like basements and around pipes. They also don't smell nearly as bad.

I don't really know what this information is good for or has to do with this but I took the time to type this comment for some reason.

Hey, the metaphor is beautiful. I dig it

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Alas, the German Cockroaches have infested America.

We're also infested with Drumpfs/Trumps, and now King Trump has built an American Gestapo

Consequences can be a motherfucker sometimes

Some ICE attorneys “are only waiting until their student loans are forgiven, and then they’re leaving,” he said.

Imagine working for the gestapo for loan forgiveness. Banality of evil

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Wait. I thought all those student loan forgiveness programs had been torpedoed by Trump.

Or are they waiting for some super-wonderful forgiveness for ICE employees only that Trump plans to bribe them with? I hate to break it to them but if they’re waiting for this then Trump will very likely rescind it the moment you tender your resignations.

ICE workers deserve to be miserable.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Most spoke on the condition of anonymity, for fear of losing their job or being subjected to a polygraph exam.

Why? Why is holding on to this job important if everything about it sucks? Management, moral, targets, inhumane methods, feeling forced to hide your identity, being dispiced by the public, etc. etc. Noting positive mentioned in the article. Why not quit? You're not the pope, it's not a job for life!

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It’s only a shame that more of those POS humans don’t sleep so un-soundly.

[–] NotForYourStereo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Not miserable enough if they haven't started removing themselves from the gene pool.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

They're perfectly capable of doing their job in a humane and legal way, they're choosing not to do so. Would they get fired? Maybe, but that's when you have grounds for a lawsuit or a story to sell the press.
