Those are kids playing to be cops. If the PS5 was affordable to people with such a low level of education they'd be playing CoD at home.

It is so strange seeing local cops deal with crowds vs ICE. ICE is just looks like a mob milling about. Some taking time to argue with protesters, others wandering alone aimlessly.

Local cops dealing with protesters are organized, rarely trying to bait anyone into anything.

I sure hope they're not pretending to be police considering they kill about ~1,200 people/year in the US (compared to about two in the UK).

These numbers are hard to compare. It seems that ICE's killing rate in kills per serving man hour is outrageously high, but I don't have numbers on this.
