Normalizing state-sanctioned extra-judicial murder along with a message of compliance? Maybe go find videos of where compliance got people killed because the fact is the slave catchers enjoy brutality and murder.

I'm not normalizing it, it's already normalized. We have accepted this kind of policing forever.

Nothing in Minnesota has changed the game, except masks maybe, since they're being doxxed.

We have not accepted anything. Hence the protests. Maybe you have accepted it but you don’t speak for everyone.

No, that's the thing. We accepted for a long time. Literally not one thing about any of this is new, except the politicians and reporters decided we need to focus on Minneapolis this month.

The same thing has been going on the same way for decades.

It not being new doesn't mean it's been accepted though. Acceptance implies consent. Protest (also not new) is evidence of non consent.

Not since George Floyd and certainly not with masks.

Why are they wearing masks?

Because DHS thinks it's agents are special and need protection from doxing that politicians, judges, police, FBI agents don't have? Maybe ICE doesn't like receiving free pizzas and threatening phone calls? Maybe they were inspired by Hamas so they could go around being violent with little repercussions?
