Right, but ICE has been doing this for a while. It's bad, but it's not new. As far as I'm aware, ICE hasn't brandished or used live rounds in close quarters (as in this picture) yet.
I think the distinction is important because if ICE starts using live rounds on protesters, people are going to start retaliating with live rounds. Then we're in full-on mask-off civil war territory, no more pretending. Blurring that distinction is playing with fire, IMO.
Dude police shoot people all the time.
They treat a gun shaped item as a gun, with live ammunition all the time.
"As far as you are aware" is worth nothing.
