I think its honestly pretty simple, train officers to wait out a period after pepper spray with only vocal commands to allow people who have been sprayed to compose themselves and comply before escalating a situation. they dont seem to have an issue with that when they're drive by pepper spraying lines of protesters, but somehow it seems to be a bigger issue in active arrests. in general what ive seen out of ice is messy fast arrests, its just bad practice. slow things down stop getting so jumpy and do proper arrests. or ignore the protesters unless criminal damage is done to officers or vehicles. ice should imo get more comfortable with people filming them everywhere they go, or they'll compromise the mission and waste time and resources on blue haired wierdos forever.
in general the idea someone would be gang piled and cuffed 10 seconds or less after being maced is silly. pepper spray, stand by with a hand on your sidearm in case they draw a weapon, then arrest once the mind rage inducing pain starts to set in and they can actually follow commands. its just bad procedure and hasty action.
I fully support improving law‑enforcement training and raising qualification standards. It’s easy to say how someone should act, but it’s much harder to apply that training when you believe your life is in danger. In the military, firefights make this clear. We were trained to shoot with precision on the range, but once rounds start flying in combat, instinct takes over and a lot of that training slips away. I’m not equating ICE operations with military combat, but any high‑stress, hazardous job can push people outside established protocols.
Bovino's press conference this morning;
>Accepting responsibility for Minneapolis, Sky Marshal Bovino resigns. His successor, Sky Marshal Honan outlines his new strategy; "To fight the bug, we must understand the bug. We can ill afford another Metro Surge"
AMEN
