They gave this woman about 8 conflicting commands, broke her window and drug her out of her car.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Horrifying. I think of my own sons, and this makes me rage.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Reporter Louis Krauss saw this. An agent apparently dropped a flash grenade that was left with the pin still in it on Park Avenue after driving away in a squad car.

They don't seem to realize that the video of them abusing a legal observer is probably worse than whatever video the legal observer had already obtained of them.
New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.
The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

U.S. citizen detained by ICE:
“…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

I mean, I think the most hateful rhetoric I’ve seen lately is an ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered on camera a “fucking bitch”
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
This is not protection. This is occupation.

Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

Finally, it's wrong AS A MATTER OF ETIQUETTE. Entering a total stranger's discussion and leading with your private anxiety is as off-putting in social media replies as it would be in real life. If you wouldn't interrupt a stranger at a party to announce that America is doomed, don't do it here.

This. The cruelty. The darkness. Militarized agents in American streets. Hunting people. Terrorizing our friends, our children, our neighbors, our communities. Eleven seconds. “I don’t care.” 1/3

These cosplaying “agents” are in khakis, hoodies, masked and wearing a vest you could buy at a costume warehouse. Why would anyone comply with these thugs? I would assume it is an attempted kidnapping, fearing for my safety.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Trump told NYT that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his "own morality" — brushing aside international law and other legitimate checks on his abilities.
"My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."
