The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I dunno. That description fits most local police these days. Body armor. Heavily armed. Seems like a pretty even fight, to be honest. There would be losses on both sides. And there is some question about the training of ICE/CBP officers lately. They've put thousands of new officers on the streets in the last few months. Training is said to be minimal just to get more bodies on the street. The local officers may actually be better trained and disciplined.

Wait - you mean he was suggesting that the police would do this? That the police would respond to a motor vehicle without plates on the road by...destroying it? That the police would gun down a group of ICE agents wearing their own body armor that says "ICE" and "Police" on them, claiming they thought those guys were criminals? Again, seems extremely far-fetched - particularly since the ICE folks are going to recognize the police folks and identify themselves as law enforcement as well.
