Counterpoint: they don’t need to be trained because they’re not there to enforce laws, they’re there to terrorize poor people of color. Really hate this framing considering how shitty local cops are on this stuff, too.
@acyn.bsky.socialVladeck: There’s one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldn’t drink alcohol on his porch—D.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers aren’t even trained in the laws they’re purportedly enforcing.
