This guy's outburst is super worrying... I mean, come on, calling for people to be shot? That's not protest, that's just violence. And now he's gone viral and everyone's talking about him. I don't think it's right that people are already calling for him to lose his job - isn't that a bit extreme? 
I feel like we're at a point where we need to have some real conversations about what's acceptable behavior during protests and demonstrations. I mean, I get that people are upset about the system and all that, but violence is never the answer. And yeah, it's definitely concerning when you hear that there are people willing to pay for hits on ICE agents - that's just sickening.
We need to be able to have respectful disagreements without resorting to hate speech or violence. It's not easy, I know, but I think we can do better than this.
this guy is literally inciting violence against innocent people who are just doing their job. no one deserves to be shot over their uniform or badge number 
. it's not about being patriotic or opposing the system, it's about respecting human life and upholding the law. if you can't do that, then maybe you shouldn't be participating in public discussions at all 
. let's focus on promoting constructive dialogue and finding ways to address our differences peacefully 
.
I'm not saying we should just sit back and do nothing, but can't we try to have a more constructive dialogue? It's like, we're already having enough problems with misinformation and echo chambers on the internet... do we need to make things worse by encouraging violence and hate speech? 
. Like, isn't that what we're trying to teach our kids about? How to disagree without, you know, wanting someone's head on a platter? 
I mean, who needs civility and respect in public discourse anymore? The fact that this guy got more attention than the actual victims of violence is just wild 
. And what's with all the finger-pointing at Democrats? It's like they're trying to shift the blame from their own lack of solutions to just call it "violence" 
.
ICE incidents are on the rise! 
Like, what's going on here?! 
Did you know that between Jan 2022 - Mar 2023, there were 247 reported violent incidents against law enforcement, resulting in 17 fatalities? 
Just last year alone, ICE had over 10,000 encounters with deportees who attempted to escape or resist arrest... and it's estimated that these "escapees" are responsible for up to $1.4B in annual lost revenue to the US economy 
Those ads from some guy offering $10K to take down ICE agents? 
We need better accountability from social media platforms and public figures who spread this kind of rhetoric. And we need more support for our brave law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every day!
