Orpo (the Green police = national police with long German history similar to FBI) had heavy SS influence throughout its post 1930s existence, and under direct SS control in 1936. Gestapo department IV B 4 told where ICE should go find some jews to deport. They also reported to SS. Orpo was the department who’d conduct surprise firing squads.
Police, as a rule, and ACAB, generally prefer the fascist option of “shoot to kill when they get scared” and a hierarchy that will support their decisions. Minneapolis officers involved in murder this week were definitely bad apples, but the much bigger MAGA = Nazi methods comparisons, is all of the doubling down on hate from Cabinet officials, and announcing door to door raids expansions to purge harder, are orders of magnitude more responsible for amplifying the national nightmare.
