There are two reasons why what you call uninformed opinions have been offered:
1. People realize that almost no matter what the precise circumstances were, the ICE thug acted irresponsibly and unnecessarily violently.
2. MAGA media, such as Fox Nooze, felt compelled to immediately and stridently belch out apologia in their role as Loyal Servants of Dear Leader Trump.
I'd like you to scrutinize one word you used: "hysteria." That word was used many times by the "establishment" to describe (and defame) Vietnam War protestors. It was also used to MAGA to describe the George Floyd protests (which were overwhelmingly peaceful and anything BUT "hysterical").
So do you really think that the protests against this horrible incident are "hysteria"? I for one call it "outrage," and yes, Fox Nooze has joined with you in calling it "hysteria." You're a former medical professional. The term implies runaway emotions and a loss of control and rationality. Do you really think that's what's going on?
No, that is not what I mean. Trump's going after immigration, is ginning up a state of national 'hysteria', for one thing.
Do ICE agents exercise any restraint? Any compassion? It sounds as if their procedure involves rapid approach, shock and awe, no discussion with the one(s) arrested, let somebody else ask questions later. It sounds like the 'later' is often much later, leaving time for fast separations and jailings and deportations before any legal approvals the arrested person may be in the US under can be reviewed.
I don't know anything about ICE training and the actions they are expected to carry out. Probably many other everyday citizens like myself do not know much about it either.
And I don't watch Fox News.
