As I understand it, the black Panthers were so successful, laws were passed to stop them; why don’t people LEGALLY walk in groups open carrying to keep ICE polite?

In states that allow open carry without a permit, do so; in ones that require a permit or license, get one; of course again, keep everything within the bounds of the law.

Edit: also travel in groups, the larger the better

    Here’s a 2015 quote from economist.com. Budgets expanded beyond belief from $1m in 1990 to nearly $450m in 2013. And the number of times they were used exploded 17 times. 3,000 in 1980 to 50,000 times.

    → The American Civil Liberties Union found that the value of military equipment used by American police departments has risen from $1m in 1990 to nearly $450m in 2013. The equipment has been used. In 1980 SWAT teams across America were deployed around 3,000 times. Deployments are estimated to have risen nearly seventeen-fold since, to 50,000 a year.

    Of course - 2015 was ten years ago so things have surely gotten even worse.
