Organized gangs finally had their lightbulb moment?

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 41 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Well, that assumes “organized gang” and “ICE” are mutually exclusive….

In Cyberpunk, the NCPD is basically just another gang. More organized than the Valentinos or Tiger Claws, but pretty much the same by the end of the day.

In real life though, ICE seems to be a lot like a gang too. Have they pivoted to drugs and violent extortion yet? You know, if you smuggle guns and slaves, you can make a lot of money?

There's no way ICE hasn't been involved in illegal drug smuggling for decades. It doesn't work without corrupt people in those kinds of positions. DEA and CBP as well.

Don't trash "organized gangs", they're better at what they do than ICE

[–] Kellenved@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 hours ago

They’re actually just taking their cue from the biggest gang
