Police are not on our side. They will default to supporting authority.

If they were ordered by their local governments to do specific things to protect the residents of their cities and states, they might comply. But without that explicit direction, they will default to helping ICE regardless of legality or morality.

Anyone know why Newsom exempted CHP from the mask law? MichMan Wednesday #36
Seems logical to me that, since CHP know they report to him, they know he'd fire them if they went against this law. ancianita Wednesday #44

Sure, but Newsom can still order them not to, unless they're 'under cover' and somehow run into masked up ICE. ancianita Wednesday #48
