Would protestors be safer? Thousands of masked people with guns. Chaos?

I can’t help but think that the only solution to ICE is a “well regulated militia” in combination with political reform, with both being necessary.

You know how DHS and DOW have huge contracts with Palantir?

You know what Lavender is and how it's been used in Gaza?

Pointing that out always seems to make people really angry, and I guess sorry to be a debbie downer but that's definitely what I believe would happen. I am curious to know why people think it wouldn't?

Totally plausible. Shoot first and avoid consequences second. Especially with the lax or lack of regulation around AI. No accountability.
