ICE and the administration bear some responsibility for this, because they have normalized "anonymous snatch and grab."

some

That's an interesting way to spell "practically all"

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago

Or, “fucking all of it, goddamn it”

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 45 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Well, this was predictable.

It's not the first time...

It only took a week or two before that one lady kidnapped her ex's new gf and tried to drive from last ke Florida to Texas for some reason.

Even then, thieves have been doing it as cops for over a decade, exactly like in this article.

I just saw a different article where a guy got arrested for dressing up as ICE and demanding he be let I to a police station so he could salute all the deputies. Or that guy who tried to "citizen arrest" his dead then cut his head off for resisting and claimed self defense.

I'll take a couple stick up thieves wearing a vest over the nutjobs who honestly believe they're authorized to execute anyone who doesn't do what they say.

Bunch of fucking Eric Cartmans runner ng around

A little proofreading would strengthen your message.

Quote "Delaware State Police are investigating and advise drivers to be cautious during traffic stops, recommending pulling over in well-lit areas and verifying officer credentials."

This will work so well when ICE agents have so far refused to provide identification, all wear masks, and AFAIK are NOT authorized to do traffic stops.

If an unmarked car flashes lights at me, I'm on with 911 before I pull over to verify it's legit.

I’m really surprised none of these impersonators have been shot at yet unless I’ve missed a story

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

I wonder what evidence, if any, the local police were using to conclude that they were impersonators.

[–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 14 points 1 day ago

Exactly. This is why you don’t stop for them. Just keep driving.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago

Shoot First.

Jesus. If you're going to do a crime dressed as ICE, at least smite someone who deserves it for once! Prime targets are the homes of wealthy Republicans, conservative politicians, and Evangelical churches.

All these ICE impersonators make me wonder if refugees & illegal immigrants should impersonate ICE. 🤔

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 7 points 22 hours ago

This is FAKE NEWS! Only ICE wears those Vests so these Criminals were OBVIOUSLY ICE!

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 55 seconds ago

What evidence is there that these were impersonators and not the real thing?
