The disturbing part isn’t that bad encounters happen — it’s that these techniques are officially banned, yet keep showing up across unrelated cases. When policy and on-the-ground behavior diverge this consistently, it stops looking like individual misconduct and starts looking like a systems problem.
It's probably a good thing that gold fillings/caps aren't that common these days.

Why's that? Some older people have them.
As for anyone going door to door, do not open.

the only answer to fascism is global and local unity. the majority of people need to be against fascism. violence will always come from a minority position and will never have majority support. a majority does not need violence.

In Minneapolis there are videos of ICE blocking off residential neighborhoods and going door, demanding ID of residents. https://www.reddit.com/r/Minneapolis/comments/1qbawlr/minnea... These aren’t bad apples, ICE operates without regard to the law by design.
In the Netherlands we call that a razzia. Very popular in the early 40s.

One is a sitting president, one hasn't been in a decade. What do you believe is more pressing, and why?
As the ACLU notes, Obamas use of ICE is similar to Trumps. I believe if people are sincere, they should condemn either neither or both.
If they refuse to condemn Obama, but do condemn Trump, I do not believe they can make a good argument about compassion. That may change the conversation, which I think would lead to a more logical discussion.
