I'm waiting for the moment and ICE officer shoots a cop, or when there's a shootout between the two.

OR, the situation becomes a case of mutually-assured destruction, like the Cold War. The cops don't want that fight, and the Panthers know it. ALL Cops are cowards at their core, they can't exist in society without carrying an arsenal, and elevating themselves above their fellow citizens. They won't engage someone they KNOW is equally armed, and BETTER TRAINED, and knows the law better.

They'd rather go after poor working people just trying to get by. They are more compliant, and can't afford lawyers.

Yeah but then that potential wake-up call gets put through the 2026 filter and out the other end comes... "Trump claims Harlem should be carpet bombed and casino parking garage built -- midwest gang violence the last straw even if it was Law Enforcement gangs this one time."

And the cult goes wild cheering sounds

If they went Gaza on any city in America, then we have the justification to kill ALL government authorities.

Spoken like a true trouble maker who should relinquish your home to make room for 1% of the NEXT casino parking garage!
