Well said. Much of the overzealous action by LEOs seen since the ICE immigration operation kicked off is notably similar to that seen during the Civil Rights era in the U.S. They can run people down in the street, club the everloving shit out of them, break their wrists and shoulders during arrest, and kick their feet up at home later that night without a thought of concern about catching charges.

The manner in which demonstrators have been engaged strikes a similar chord to that same mid-century era, where hippies/beatniks/peaceniks could be fucked up and railroaded any number of ways without a hint of worry about blowback (unless their parents were loaded, of course). Nothing meaningful will happen to make them scale back their abuses, legal or otherwise, maybe not even once Democrats are back in office.
