    weird anecdote time: 20 years ago, I was paid to drive a car from New Orleans to San Diego. It is important to know that I did not have a drivers license at the time and I was very stupid. Eventually, the drive took me on to Interstate 8, which runs directly on the US-Mexico border. Along this interstate, they had immigration checkpoints, where an armed border agent would check your license to make sure that you were not jumping the border (which was like 50 feet in the other direction) or carrying contraband. Not once, when stopped, was I asked to produce a drivers license that I did not have. I just told them where I was going, I was a white male, they let me go on my happy way.

    TL;DR - they just want to check non-whites in more places, this is an expansion of something that has been in place for a good while

    It thought cops were bad about unnecessarily escalating the tension in situations, but ICE is just next-level in how they create an out-of-control situation.

    “…and providing networking and training opportunities for law enforcement agencies.”

    Get a fucking LinkedIn, fucko. Do that shit on your own time like everyone else. Why does “dumbass cops networking” involve wasting hundreds of peoples’ time?

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
