Not just the police and ICE but don't forget fuck USCIS, USBP, CBSA, etc.
Fuck people who make generalisations
Systems can be bad, and the people who support and work within bad systems are bad, even if they act nice outside of that system.
I agree with the first part, not the second. All those black kids who end up in the military because of poverty are not all evil. But you're right about the system so work to change that rather than damning a whole class of people.
I disagree with the second part. That means everybody living in a first world country is inherently a bad person just by accident of their birth location. We're well past the point of choosing whether or not we participate in most systems, and at the end of the day, somebody needs to do the job of law enforcement.
People choose to be cops. Choosing which country you live in is a luxury most can't afford.
Ok then, so people who vote in US elections are inherently evil? - a more analogous example
People who consume bananas are inherently evil?
People that have smartphones are inherently evil?
Those things are all choices. How about another one? Lithium mining is a bad system that negatively impacts the environment. Therefore, people that buy electric cars are evil and bad for the environment, right?!?
Becoming a cop is a life change, voting is standard, as is consuming bananas and using smartphones.
Deliberately choosing to become a cop is bad, because there are a wealth of alternatives. Not true for voting, bananas, smartphones, or cars.
A small subset of humans become cops, it isn't a thing someone just chances into
