    Why is it always “Police ICE”? They are not police.

    And do they have any authority outside deportation?

    I’m more offended by the mace. I mean some of the protesters threw snowballs and apparently that’s threatening now, but the one girl who took a solid hit was just standing closest. Not only did the passenger mace her for someone alses snowball but the driver came around to blindside her

            100%. Little does the holier-than-thou person you’re replying to know that their very attitude toward you is the single ember that ignites the problem for them, too. Laughable to think that current day murica caught some nazi flu from 1930s Germany and it’s not human nature that’s in us all instead.

        Claims it was Somalians (“who were not born in America”) who voted Ilhan Omar into Congress.

        Across the entire US it’s estimated that 260k are of Somalian descent, 84k of whom live in Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Ilhan Omar’s district has 700k residents, 60% white.

      this is just sheer ignorance if it’s a form of protest.

      It’s not a protest. This is a fed up populace saying “Get the fuck out of my city/neighborhood”. Should have been throwing bricks rather than snow.

        Thats what’s next. Protests are a warning the people do not support the government. They can be organized. If not heeded, all the people too busy to listen to organizers and protest will throw bricks when the government shows up in town.

        Go read the story of the Boston massacre. The British soldiers and American protesters knew each other from other run ins. This gets personal fast, and then the guns start going off. And Americans dont like being shot at. We shoot back.

      Fuck you. Make more excuses for them. The vehicle turned back into it’s lane after hitting them. No one else in the street got hit.

      Bet you’d say that they would have done the same thing to one of there own if they got in the way, right?

        Do you expect a motorcade to stop so someone could plant an explosive underneath or something? There’s clear precedence for why no vehicle will stop when lights are flashing, if you can’t comprehend how situations can be different, you’re making things worse.

        Context makes a massive difference, and if you decided to read my comment I wasn’t making excuses I was asking for more context. Since propaganda works both ways, don’t edit videos to make a story, leave it as unedited as possible or stuff like this won’t get asked.

        no one else in the street was hit.

        Maybe because no one else WAS in the street…? Like fuck dude, don’t make shit up, that’s the entire issue that’s being pointed out. Don’t manufacture outrage, I’m not making excuses if you’re doing that.

          Why don’t you, as an upstanding netizen, find and provide that context? Surely as someone who cares about the context so very much, you must have the will to find it too?

          Why is it up to everyone else to facilitate your request when you’ve already made up your mind but want to concern troll to make your own bullshit agenda.

          Brother this is law enforcement driving down a city street filled with civilians, not some military fantasy you’ve got cooked up.

          There’s clear precedence for why no vehicle will stop when lights are flashing, if you can’t comprehend how situations can be different, you’re making things worse.

          And that’s complete bullshit. Just because emergency vehicles get right of way (during an emergency, which this is not), does not mean they can just mow down pedestrians. Get a grip.

          All of the camera angles are on the same block and many of the vehicles stop there, so they are clearly allowed to stop. Plenty of other people were in the street in the other shots. The driver of the vehicle clearly was intending to clip the person since the driver swerved after hitting them (watch the front wheel), as though they wanted to hit them but not run over them. Anyone with empathy would’ve swerved first.
