Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Come for the beginning, where an an agent casually points a gun at a bunch of bystanders.

Linger through the middle, where he rams his knee between the legs of a handcuffed female detainee.

Stay for the end, where an agent repeatedly punches a handcuffed man in the head.
“We were screaming and filming, and that’s when the officer pulled the gun out and pointed it at us and threatened to shoot us. We were posing no immediate threat to him, and we were filming and making noise.”
