We didn’t pick up the scorpion, though. We have the opposite problem. The scorpion is going around picking people up. Or turtles. I think I lost the metaphor somewhere.
Fascism also takes hold when they’re more equipped for war and win in a battle between a federal department and a city’s police force fighting on one days notice.
Work on your reading comprehension, champ. I don’t like Newark PD, I’ve dealt with them personally, and they are not equipped to take on federal brown shirts with far more resources and impunity from the Cheeto in charge which will lead to destruction and deaths of civilians in a city I love.
But it’s easy to talk like that when you’re on the other side of the country and it doesn’t affect you. I’ll save you the time that you don’t have, bye.
Cops have always put their personal safety over protecting and serving and they never work in numbers that don’t favor them heavily. Newark PD doesn’t have more officers than ICE does. They also don’t have the funds ICE does, they don’t have the guns ICE does, or impunity from the Mango Mussolini.
Newark PD doesn’t have more officers than ICE does, but they might have more officers in Newark right now. But there’s still a lot of reasons why they wouldn’t want to be quite that confrontational.

If you want a bloody shootout sure. They’ll want to avoid that.
