I've considered it, but I don't want blood on my hands unless it's active self-defense. Their department or military unit will continue to follow orders because they're already racist enough to justify doing that job, so I don't see it sparking some 1905 battleship mutiny if the current repression of women and minorities in the military hasn't. The police union will preserve the institution that funds it over the handful of officers it already considers DEI hires from an era progressives forced on them. There's no wider impact so I'd just be adding one more name to the list that ICE uses to justify their larger 2026 budget. I don't want to give them a win by sending someone's grandparents to a concentration camp, especially when that same cop or soldier is going to deliver them to that camp in a few months anyway.
Plus swatting in general is as bad a tactic as spraying a machine gun at a house. They might get the wrong address, they might kill a kid or a dog. Each of these ICE raids is potentially a massacre by barely-trained hogs.
