“It is a sign that people aren’t happy within the U.S. government, clearly. The shooting [of Good] was the last straw for many people," Dominick Skinner, ICE list founder, told The Beast.

Information included in the new leak includes around “1,800 on-the-ground agents and 150 supervisors. Early analysis by the organization suggests that around 80 per cent of the staff identified remain employed by DHS,” according to The Beast.

    FYI, I’m not American, I’m watching from the outside.

    The UK police, while they have their issues, are a lot better than American police. A lot of them also love the bodycams. They make their job a LOT easier, with far less hassle.

      Our police are considerably more dangerous than yours. And all they have to do is turn off their body cams.

      Unfortunately we live in completely different realities. I believe your cops are actually trained.

        I mainly meant it as a goal to aim for. Police don’t have to be brutish idiots.

        Our police use a “police by consent” mindset, rather than a “police by force” one. Most don’t even carry guns.

          It certainly is, but it’s not the reality we live in currently. And there are so many boot lickers that we may never get there. Anytime you say something about military spending or police spending they just seem to ratchet it up in response.
