I wish people would stop calling Jonathan Ross an officer. [View all]

In my opinion, he is not an officer; he's a hired thug, an armed goon, a murderer. I don't consider any of those ICE goons to be officers. They hide behind masks; they have little to no training; they're not vetted; they don't have to pass background tests; they don't have to have probable cause; they don't have to identify themselves; they don't have to follow due process; they don't have to read anybody their rights, etc. They can just go out and do whatever the hell they want to whoever they want. They are not officers and they don't deserve to be called officers.
