This is so telling.

I really wanted to avoid the "people only care because the victim was white" argument. It's messy. Other factors at play. And frankly, people don't like hearing that so it's not a good argument to get folks on your side.

But "Take their guns away" as a solution is so surgical. It ensures that white people won't ever get hurt again, but all other violence can continue.

We're out here breaking our backs not to say #AbolishICE I hate it.

TAKE AWAY THEIR GUNS!! I think there's a very strong case that ICE officers shouldn't be allowed to carry firearms at all. If they encounter a situation that is potentially violent, they should simply retreat, and call local police to handle it.
