Correct. These agents are all armed and well trained. If doing their job is too dangerous for them, that isn’t my problem. Pick another career.
That is accurate. Their safety is their problem. Californians’ safety in dealing with these federal agents is my problem.
Yeah, but it's often impractical to enforce, so maybe we need to find a way to make sure that protestors have their identities exposed (and their family members) so that they live in the same kinds of fear that they want the ICE agents to live in, correct?
It endangers lives, and is reckless and irresponsible. I think people have had enough.

So long as ICE is running "ops" againsts shape-ups at home improvement stores, immigration court dates, schools, and restaurants, the PD probably has a higher likelihood of running into a cartel connected person.
As an Angeleno, we’ve certainly had more than enough of these ICE terror raids.
They can pass it, but they won't be able to enforce it against federal law enforcement officers.
I wonder how far this can actually go. Can the governor order state police to patrol and protect specific neighborhoods from ICE raids?
The mayor is unable to stop the vandalizing and looting, the mayor of L.A. has called for a curfew. ICE will assist in trying to keep the peace.
There is no vandalizing or looting going on.
The curfew has been lifted because literally nothing is going on and it is killing local businesses.
That's not what they're doing. Every interaction I've seen they are terrorizing innocent people and behaving more like masked jihadists than like proper law enforcement. Things were peaceful before ICE came in. You really don't know what's going on here and your media is lying to you.
A week after Mayor Karen Bass implemented a curfew in parts of downtown Los Angeles following days of protests against immigration actions, it has been lifted.

Look, squirrel!Level the playing field -
neither side wears masks and both sides wear readily seen Identification.
I'm sorry, but that rant was just inane. But perhaps you are correct. We should do the opposite. All police sre hidden behind masks that show no facial features ,perhaps with some scary features incorporated just to put that fear of law into all you criminals. Also no need for warrants because you might see some information linking the people arresting you in them, and while we're at it, courts should be held in secret locations with no witnesses allowed because they could see the officers in question or other people related to the arrest and who knows what they might do to them. And of course, prisons are completely out of any oversight, just imagine if criminals knew who their guards were and what they or their friends could do to their families when they get out. All of law should be secret!
Surely there is some middle ground between secret police snatching people from streets, schools and factories and publishing names and addresses. When an agent for the FBI or ICE is working undercover, don't they show their faces? The point is that they are unknown, not masked.
Personal insults are bad arguments.
That's just it, with their faces and badges covered, they could be anyone including fake police. Even those who speak English don't know who they are, only what they represent - authoritarian power.
