🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol are now pistol-whipping 16-year-olds and smashing their heads into the curb.
In the video, an agent illegally tries to detain an unaccompanied minor, in Long Beach, California.
The child has his hands in the air.
An agent runs up and hits him in the head with a pistol. Then two agents tackle him and force his head down against the curb.
After the child is already on the ground, pinned by two armed adults, another agent brings out a K9, for what reason exactly?
Then one agent puts his knee on the childs neck while another handcuffs him, even though hes not resisting at all.
Unaccompanied minors are supposed to be handled through child-welfare procedures, not slammed into concrete by armed agents.
Using a gun as a weapon is deadly force. You dont get to use deadly force on a child who is standing still with his hands up. And putting a knee on someones neck while theyre restrained is a textbook violation of use-of-force rules and basic constitutional rights.
ICE/Border Patrol agents are brutalizing people for sport, they are executing people because they can, trafficking children, and if they arent stopped no one will be safe.

The guy was a legal immigrant, now disabled. They finally unshackled him from the hospital bed and ultimately just let him go.

(40,002 posts)They believe what right wing media tells them - that these people getting assaulted were paid terrorists, obstructing law enforcement and therefore brought it on themselves. Its sickening to defend this performative thuggery, on children, yet.

There are some incredibly stupid people in this country, either flat-out stupid; willfully ignorant; or easily led.

They don't care about the law and reality, they just enjoy seeing black and brown people get hurt or killed.

(13,881 posts)I hope our protests, growing into a movement, finally wear down some of the financial backers to this criminal regime. We must save others from becoming victims. We must stop this brutality.
We are supposed to protect children and vulnerable people. We are supposed to embrace and model civilized behavior.
W are heading out today to a quickly put together protest. We all should!

I'm thinking testicular cancer that has spread to his bones, but when they do an ultrasound, one of the tumors is a teratoma tumor that registers a heartbeat. No treatment, or pain medication that might damage that heartbeat.
When he dies after several years and goes to hell, he learns the only medical treatment available is to have rats gnaw the tumors out.
Sorry, read one too many horror novels.

(15,755 posts)A sixteen year old was beheaded for his protest his two older cohorts were imprisoned after a trial survived the war. Ice is much worse than the Gestapo they kill on a whim and giggles. Pistol whipping is often fatal. If we can survive there needs to be trials for the Ice goons.

(83 posts)I was stuck by other videos of the lack of training and control these agents have over some of the dogs. I saw dogs panic on their leash when gunshots and crowd control munitions were used. Are these dogs rejects from other training programs. Are they just like the humans involved, not the pick of the litter?
