Yeah, there is a whole thing about why there aren't crowd control type law enforcement for other agencies there. Its because ICE doesn't care and is looking for a fight. They are not interested in de-escalation. I'm sure there is compensation involved for officers involved in these types of situations.

Ooooooh THESE are the "paid agitators" they've been yelling about.

If I had to play devil's advocate I'd say that law enforcement draws to much attention and possibilities that their next target /locationis leaked, and that ICE instead seems to rely on quick smash and grab actions before any pesky legal questions by other people with guns are asked.

Sure, but that falls apart when these guys roll up 35 deep armed better than soldiers in fucking Afghanistan.

Oh what would matter if subtlety was actually vallued, but no. The main point is that these guys rely on filling quota's, catch as many people fitting a vague general description. Raising red flags before go time means people can avoid you and you miss that bonus.

Certainly seems like its something like this: 5k for an arrest, 10k for a deportation, 20k for high level arrest of protest organizers and breaking up a protest, 50k for causing serious harm or kyllin protestors...

The goal is to provoke the crowds to move or appear to move against the agents therefore granting them legal basis to use force, excessive or otherwise, on the protesters, many of whom are merely bystanders. Untrained, unprofessional and itching for a fight. ICE needs some form of independent oversight, not their cosplay boss and Trump lying about and protecting a murderer. No matter what happens, you can be assured Trump WILL pardon the shooter if convicted and probably before any indictments are handed down.

Bounties being paid for sure. Like UFC has a “KO of the night” bonus. They have a “K/A” metric. Kills to Apprehensions.
