... are all seemingly perfectly fine in their collective opinion.

One side supports order and the least use of force possible to restore order, while the other side has no problem with unaccountable killing followed by defamation as a matter of course.

The ICE agents and the others involved in these goon squads should not be viewed as legitimate officers or agents of a proper civilian government: by hiding their faces and refusing to acknowledge their identities, they are trying to avoid the accountability that must be integral to system that allows a use of force.

Further, this Trump Administration should be viewed as an extension of his J6 Insurrection. The next Democratic Administration must immediately reform the Supreme Court by whatever means necessary to reverse any decisions that would grant Trump any degree of "immunity". If Trump is not ultimately prosecuted for all that he has done, this sort of abuse of the US will likely just continue to happen and will likely become progressively more dire under future MAGA/GOP administrations (As a country, we have proven that no matter what such administrations do (Iraq War, torture, etc.), they or their sort seem to be re-electable under the influence of the monies of people like Musk and the influence of media like Fox "News".)
