I kinda hope people who've become enraged by recent ICE actions and weren't already anti-police will realize they're just using the same tactics various police have been using for forever (and tame compared to some historical examples). BLM protests gave people plenty of chances to figure this out though and some people seemed to only focus on the abuses specifically by federal agents in places like portland, ignoring the vast majority of the abuse which was done by the local PD, so I still have low expectations. ACAB.

most people become cops not because they want to "serve and protect," but because they want to be able to beat up and murder minorities

yep. Came to post the same feelings:
Americans are too illiterate to arm themselves and totally demolish this deathcamp. So instead we see’m yell at fences and get their shit beat.

Oh, that's ok then, I guess ICE can keep doing that.
