Is everyone a cop on this blessed day? (Or some similar, not legally protected title, think security officer is enough?

If you want to be abusive toward your fellow citizens, there is no limit to the predatory gun-toting community for you. You have multiple options.

You and I wouldn't be able to use jargon or talk procedures. It would be immediately obvious we were faking. Come up on me and tell me you're in IT, see how that goes. :)

These ice goons aren't cops though. They're just a bunch of mall Ninjas. You could probably just start giving them Startrek technobable and they wouldn't know the difference.

ICE recruiting is prioritizing law enforcement for field work right now, but they are also hiring plenty of back of the house personnel as well (desk work), and have been telling them that after more training there is good potential for them to get into the field, too.

Remember "Alice's Restaurant," when the guy tried to avoid the draft by acting crazy?

And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL, " and he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."

I'm at least IT adjacent and have somewhat of a homelab, I feel I could pass for a few minutes longer than an average person.

Cop jargon? I Fail.
