Exactly what the Nazis who ran extermination camps claimed.
I loathe and despise using percentages like this.
500% sounds super scary, but is meaningless without providing the baseline. If there was only one instance before and now there’s 5 it isn’t a significant increase but 500% sure sounds scary.
Worse still it's not even clear what is being discussed. It implied "violence" but that is a wide range from just pushing to serious shooting.
% can also be misleading when a scale is arbitrary. A temperature increase measured in Fahrenheit will be a rather different % when converted to Kelvin.
ICE also keep getting caught on camera lying about being threatened before they start beating some innocent
Sadly I haven't heard of any ICE officers getting shot in the line of duty.
We all know that cops will try to charge you with assaulting them if you so much as shrug while being arrested. And they'll contrive situations just so they can do that. I'd say that makes their statistics meaningless without specific details and proof.
It's so blatant as if theyre using an instruction manual or something 🤔
Stephen Miller is basically a Nazi
Stephen Miller is exactly a Nazi
He's a fucking JEWISH Nazi - which is the worst kind of self loathing Nazi.
He'd be the first in the showers when the real Nazis come to town.
He's a pathetic loser.
"Just following orders..."
Unjust, following orders
someone on bsky did the match and found out that 700% increase is still only like 70 incidents (i forget who it was that posted it)
Exactly. Basically "wahhhh this is making it harder for the kidnappers to kidnap people!! stop using the app they're just trying to do their jobs pls feel sorry for them 😭 "
Well, when you kidnap people in the street assaults against you can happen.
