    This is going to be normalized

    If a ‘suspect’ is being approached or threatened by ICE officers or whatever officers … many people will start to think twice about it all.

    • Will you just give up and let them take you away … to prison … with no trial, no law, no recourse … and basically end your life … especially if you are poor and don’t have much to begin with … and no one to help you
    • or do you just go out in a blaze of glory and fight because your life is basically over any way

    This is the reason why laws evolved over the past few hundred years to remove Capital Punishment for many things … if you create laws where you severely punish people for the most minor things … people will eventually figure out that if you are given no choice, no opportunity, no empathy and no chance at proving your innocence - then people will realize that their lives are over.

    Either you give up and let the government take away your life or you stand, fight and die anyway.
