The New Orleans Police Department responded to the DHS statement with its own statement following the arrest of Temah:
Recent statements regarding Recruit Larry Temah are misleading. The New Orleans Police Department verified Mr. Temah’s employment eligibility through ICE’s E-Verify system prior to hiring and was never notified of any ICE detainer. New Orleans is not a sanctuary city, and NOPD does not control jail operations or detainer decisions, which fall under the Sheriff’s Office. Any claim that NOPD knowingly violated the law is false.
Officer Reese Harper (NOPD Director of Communications)
Right, police murdering you in cold blood bcz you didn’t comply with their orders is so much better.
False dichotomy.
I don’t think so, happens all the time in the U.S.
Do you know what a “false dichotomy” is? What you said doesn’t address that.
Here’s an example:
“The only types of footwear are boots and sandals.”
“That’s a false dichotomy; people can wear other shoe types.”
“I don’t think so, people wear boots all the time.”
My comment was specific to the U.S. Police do not make us safer. That’s my opinion. You are free to have a different opinion. I think you’re wrong.
Your use of a false dichotomy is not an opinion, it’s a fact. Having an opinion about a fact just means you’re confused.
If I said there are no shoes other than boots and sandals and you disagreed, that doesn’t make my “opinion” equally valid and worthy of respect, it just means I’m confused.
Arguing that it’s a false dichotomy makes me think you don’t actually care, you’re just trying to win an internet argument.
It’s been all over the news in recent weeks that ICE outright executed people in the street. And it’s commonly known that police in this country shoot first and ask questions later as policy.
I can only assume you think we can reform the police in it’s current form (which is not true), or you’re a troll. Doesn’t matter which, I’m not gonna keep arguing with you.
I’m not arguing that it’s a false dichotomy any more than I’m arguing that the Earth is a planet. I can point it out, but you can just as easily simply shut your eyes and plug your ears.
If you don’t know that what you said was a false dichotomy (or more accurately, refuse to confirm it by doing a quick web search for what the term means), that’s on you.
If you think someone pointing out a logical fallacy you made means “they’re just trying to win an internet argument,” that’s on you. It sounds like you’re extremely resistant to constructive criticism, which is a personal growth issue you should probably take a hard look at.
I’m not your teacher and I’m not your dad. You either care that you’re making critics of police look stupid or you don’t.
True and completely immaterial to this discussion no matter how times you keep Red Herring bringing it up.
A blatant lie. Can you point out a single agency in the US that has such a policy?
It’s a lot closer to true than what you’ve been saying.
