That’s a wildly optimistic take. ICE will kill you, whether you’re obeying them or not.
ICE isn’t police though
Yes, they are and so is the Border Patrol.
No, they aren’t
If you look at the videos they don’t even have proper gear. They are just a bunch of “volunteers” who enjoy causing harm to others. Even if they were properly trained federal agents, they still wouldn’t be police since police are done at a local level not a federal level.
They are literally federal police, a thing that this country has had for more than a century. The state defines what police are.
Might have to? It’s “might get to.”

IDK man, there might be a slight brownish hue…
I’m seeing lots of reports on this for rule #2, and while I think this sort of commentary is obviously the basis of a lot of political bickering, I’m not sure if the framing in the meme itself is wholly political.
I might be way off base making a judgement call here, but I’m going to leave this one be.
My 3yo got a coloring book from a visiting cop at preschool the other day.
First off, he’s 3. Starting that young just shows how much they’ve considered it. A full half of the kids there are black, we’re in a city famous for historical racism.
His moms have established words they don’t want him using yet, like “shoot.” OK, they’re his parents I can understand and respect that. We play with nerf darts and stomp rockets, and never “launch” them at people.
So the coloring book teaches him vocabulary like “suspect,” “pepper spray,” and “stun device.” They’re answers to puzzles.
I made an offhand joke that next year’s coloring book will explain how a “suspect” was “incorrectly adjudicated” by an officer’s “bullet device.”
His moms wisely threw the book away explaining they don’t want to teach about racist, rapist pigs yet. I was so happy. He’ll never know his biological grandmother is a cop-worshipper because she’ll never meet him.

Idk man, given recent events this might not be true anymore.
Daniel Shaver was a decade ago.
It remains that people of colour are more likely to be profiled and prejudiced into a confrontation with police-
But once in a confrontation with police, it’s “Us vs. Them”.
