Do you think ICE thugs will go home if recalled?

[The Blue Flower]

I believe the genie is out of the bottle. That the unregulated violent behavior won't be switched off by decree. These psychos enjoy inflicting suffering and get off on it. We don 't know that there is a command structure. There was too little training to instill obedience to one, even if it exists. We'll be stuck with these criminal sadists in our communities for a long time.

1. Depends...

Did Mummy turn their basement lair into a craft room?

2. Perhaps there is precedent

Viking conquerors were known as Berzerkers for a reason.

3. Not sure what "recall" mechanism you're referring to, but yes

They are mostly poorly trained individuals that feel embolden only because they are together with likeminded people and have cover from the current admin. They are also motivated by the fat bonuses being paid out right now. Public opinion is already against them and I'm sure enough privately have doubts about what they're getting themselves into each day.

6. There was a story just a few days ago, that some ice creeps expressed surprise at the hostility they've encountered. -nt

7. They expected to be greeted as liberators...sounds familiar

They fell for the MAGA propaganda.

4. They aren't meant to be regulated

The purpose of them is to go out and terrorize whoever Trump and the rest of the fascists hate.

5. A good question.

We will have to defund them, & even then, some will happily bash heads for free.

8. Well

When we reclaim power and stop paying them and remove an federal protection they won't have much of a choice.

9. If they aren't being paid and aren't being given weapons, yes they will go home
