      Too bad our cops are armed like a paramilitary force. You would probably see a lot mote activate protests if they weren’t shooting people in the face and tear gassing entire city blocks. I absolutely get the need to be courageous and stand up against fascism, but we need to be practical about the pressures being used to keep people from standing up. The wealthy have spent decades putting larger and larger roadblocks between the American people and their government, to the point that the very real and massive protests so far have been almost entirely ineffectual. Calling for a general strike or pointing at another country and expecting it to just happen in the US is ignoring the reality and nuance of the situation and only services to make people feel even more powerless.

      In a propaganda stunt designed to legitimize the paramilitary force loyal to them, the American Regime suggested they bring them to support the U.S. State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service.

      Every major international tournament brings in fans from all over. To aid local policing, the host nation invites police from those countries to help. ICE are among the agencies the US has sent, likely due to their experience with travel and customs issues.

      Americans may occasionally see foreign police during the world cup later this year.

        Sending ICE to help local the police force of a foreign country is like send the Coast Guard to a rescue mission in the desert.

        Not sure why you’re downvoted. You’re right, and I remember when Erdoğan came to the states, and there was a large protest and his security detail didn’t really handle it… Hmm well maybe they did handle it in the current American way.

      I mean they don’t, or at least not any Europeans in power. Otherwise these protests wouldn’t be needed.

      The current party in power in Italy is the neo-fascist FDI, so from a political standpoint I imagine at least they are pretty cool with Israel and the US, which by extension reflects the Italian electorate.

    I wonder what would happen if one of the ice was afraid for their life so started shooting folks randomly.
