'Gestapo: You Guys Look Like Fucking Criminals'

"New war hysteria looms, yet still armed, masked, unnamed stormtroopers roam the land, keeping us safe from 'the worst of the worst illegal alien criminals' by abducting nefarious landscapers, car wash workers, Wal Mart greeters, tamale makers, swap meet fans and distraught mothers of children with cancer. As glorified 'state-sanctioned intimidation' turns some terrified Latino neighborhoods into ghost towns, 'Day by passing day, we are watching what amounts to a national police riot by ICE.'"

"In our new Police States of America, the chilling images are everywhere: Throngs of burly, ill-trained, rifle-toting bullies cosplaying as soldiers, storming a car wash or Home Depot in their fearless face masks, headphones, neck gaiters, camo helmets, armored vests, mirrored sunglasses, dime-store badges, tight t-shirts and tough-guy walkie-talkies to round up and terrorize whatever brown-skinned innocents they can find into unmarked cars and then, whoosh just like Fast and Furious, into unknown, possibly illegal, probably distant detention camps. Who are these louts? Nobody knows. Operating under an ominous 'shroud of opacity' lacking any accountability, they could be any racist losers with a penchant for violence: For an entry-level 'frontline' ICE gig, they just need a driver's license and have to be a U.S. citizen, eligible to carry a firearm, younger than 40. They can apply online."

Is that where they got their practice? Where they learned they could get away with showing up and pretending that they actually have authority? My memory is not perfect anymore but this seems familiar.
