  Not just the optics, but the very real danger to the police themselves. This is the US. People get shot for arguing. When you know that sometime this month the police will show up at your door, you might take precautions.

  Which side of government would care? The coproratocracy or the facists?

    Which side of government would care? The coproratocracy or the facists?

    The side that wants to get reelected.

  Optics?

  Seriously?

    it seems reasonable to anticipate visitation by ACAB.

    I don’t know, the optics of police literally going into people’s homes and pulling them out and forcing them to work doesn’t seem like something the government would want, no matter what.

    Optics? Seriously? Do we live on opposite sides of the television screen?

    You really think it would be a positive optic to see on the Evening News policeman going in the house and dragging people out and forcefully driving them to work and making them work at gunpoint?

      Optics?

        Do you need a definition of the word?

        A quick Google search will get you that.
