We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.
I understand what you’re getting at, truly I do, but I’m not sure how to tackle it.
Like, no matter the intention I’m not about to say the N-word because of its history and so to keep it consistent I’d want to obviously also fully agree with you. But that word is also highly specific to a group of people and is a slur based on the colour of their skin. Subhuman, when used by the Nazis, was directed at anyone who was not some perfect Aryan(despite, of course, the Nazis not even being that ideal most of the time) and was also attacking their race, sexuality, and ability.
When used here it’s so much more generic a term. I might avoid it, but I’m also willing to say that ICE agents are broken and don’t really value their lives too much so am I really being a better person? Is the end result really any different? The biggest thing is that they chose it all, and if they simply stopped then, other than still putting them on trial for being fucking awful, I’d slow down a lot that very same minute.
