      They could suspend the agent, arrest him, charge him, make an example of him, just offer a fig leaf’s pretense that they’re interested in justice.

      But they can’t even conceive that his actions could be wrong.

    I mean she’s not wrong, the actions that led up to the shooting were an act of domestic terrorism. And she’s had the head of that terrorist organization.

                  There’s no way to elaborate on this statement without admitting that there’s at least a two-tiered legal system in place, which is the point being made. Biden had the opportunity to prosecute but did not because there is an unwritten rule that we don’t do that to certain people. Saying they didn’t have enough time is just taking the long way to the conclusion that nothing was ever going to happen.

                  Unless maybe you’re aware of some law or rule that requires investigations and indictments of specific people to take much longer than normal?

          He wasn’t even appointed to investigate by Merrick Garland until nearly 18 months after he took office, which was already 2 months after the Insurrection.

          There was enough time if they hadn’t waited to decide whether to even bother with defending the country.

        “Principled” is the wrong word. “Naive” might be better. “Cowardly” with rationalization could work.

        They believed it would damage the country to have a jury of 12 put Trump in prison rather than a jury of 375 million. It would damage the country. The best possible outcome was Dems win the election and then Trump sees justice. Intolerance bring fascisms, so they fought fascism with tolerance. This is the result of their actions AND our actions.

        It was convenient to pass the buck onto the American voters because it meant they didn’t have to do anything.

      Yes, Biden or Harris being in office now would protect us from US colonialism turning inward.

      But that wouldn’t stop the US’s foreign policy.

      I’m not saying that Biden or Harris would have entered a war with Venezuela or bombed Iran, but maybe Israel would have become more of an attack dog in the Middle East and started killing more Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians, and last but not least Palestinians.

      Hard to say what would happen internationally with Biden or Harris. Domestically, we’d likely be in a better spot, at least until Trump would try to take office in 2028 (if we didn’t throw his ass in jail by that point).

        How many ICE deportations were there under president Biden?

        Less than now.

        we’re there any deaths in ICE custody under Biden?

        Less than now.

          Deaths, yes. Not by much though. There were more ICE deportations though. That tells me you didn’t actually look into it.

            No one yet has complete and reliable data for the number of ICE and other deportations in 2025. But there has been an analysis of ICE flight data that showed a 62% increase in the number of deportations-related flights in 2025 compared to 2024, as of September:

            https://humanrightsfirst.org/library/ice-flight-monitor-september-2025-monthly-report/

            ICE flights month by month - chart

            Source: PDF report on ICE flights

            The ICE arrest data also shows a steep rise in 2025:

            Since you are confident of your analysis showing the opposite, please provide your sources and numbers instead of telling people to do their own research.

              I did provide the source, literally the one used by your sources. Which even show that there were way less in ‘24 compared to previous years, then shot up again. This is done by both R and D on many instances BTW to look better in comparison. So when you see a comparison between a president’s first year, to previous’ last, look at other years.

                The source you linked to (https://www.ice.gov/statistics) only has data up to December 2024, when Biden was still President. The sources I linked to had data from 2025. The small numbers for 2025 in your link are for Fiscal Year 2025, ending in December 2024, so despite the name FY2025, that’s really just the last 3 months of 2024.

                So those statistics contain no information about what ICE has been doing since January 2025 when Trump returned.

                  When looking at one of the charts you provided, would it be fair to assume that it was like 300 deportations per day in 2024? That would be like twice as many ICE deportations as what I’m seeing in the ICE website.

            There were more ICE deportations though.

            I can’t find a source that says that’s true. Got one handy?

              There’s a link by me somewhere in this post. Only compares Biden years, and trumps first though. Was too lazy to find other ones other than random charts on reddit.

        I mean, a motor vehicle can absolutely be used as a deadly weapon that can require the use of lethal force even if the driver is otherwise unarmed.

        This wasn’t a scenario that justified the use of lethal force, though.
