Yeah...
Take a shot of any Canadian military member in a gabardine and you have the same comparison.
ICE has it's issues, but it's green and very American uniform isn't one of them.

This looks like good place to drop this. Perhaps this can help partially explain the vehement opposition to each other. Stuff that happens 'Out There' will fade into the next story and the world will live on. We live together in here. Mike gave us a home. No need to take a chainsaw and cut it in half.
Two Movies on One Screen: Conflicting Narratives of the Renee Good Shooting in Minnesota.
"Anyone following recent events in Minneapolis has likely noticed something strange. People watching the same videos, reading the same headlines, and reacting to the same street-level events often seem to be describing entirely different realities. Conversations quickly break down, not because people disagree about what should be done, but because they cannot even agree on what is happening. It’s as if people are watching two completely different movies on one screen.
The “two-movies-one-screen” concept was first coined by Scott Adams(RIP), the creator of Dilbert turned political commentator, to describe radically different interpretations of the same political events. People with access to the same set of facts come away with completely different understandings of what is happening. In some cases, each side seems genuinely unaware that the other interpretation even exists.
This is not merely disagreement, and it goes beyond ordinary bias. It is also not quite what psychologists usually mean by cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance, first described by Leon Festinger in the 1950s, occurs when people experience psychological discomfort from holding conflicting beliefs or encountering information that contradicts their existing views, and then attempt to reduce that discomfort through rationalization or reinterpretation of the facts. In cases like the Renee Good shooting in Minnesota, however, something else seems to be happening. So, what is going on?

I cannot unsee how that ICE agent was so out of control when he killed that woman. The fellow agent who reached for the door of the SUV won the lottery by not being killed by the reckless behaviour of his college. That the ICE agent put two more bullets into the victim after he was clearly out of danger (not that he was in any danger at any time, except to himself), that the agent called her a fucking bitch. that he didn't provide any first aide after the car crashed, that he callously walked away like it was another day on the range, that the entire Homeland Security and White House administration have protected this and other unqualified agents over their actions, it has all resulted me in not believing a word that comes out of the mouths of anyone connected to Trump and his regime.
I will continue to point out the immoral actions of certain aspects of the US Law Enforcement apparatus and hope to god that that poison doesn't migrate north. We are not perfect here, not by a long shot but JFC at least we don't have a bunch of LARPING idiots in tactical gear running around causing chaos on our city streets. Not yet anyway.
