A BADGE IS NOT A LICENSE TO BRUTALIZE. Without video evidence, imagine how ICE would claim the agent was attacked by a vicious protester. Blocking an ICE vehicle does not erase your constitutional rights. Reasonable force may be lawful. Excessive force is not. An agent who willfully violates those rights and causes bodily injury can face up to 10 years under 18 USC §242. PAXIS.app is FREE. Know your rights. Record EVERYTHING .

Let me make this abundantly clear. This is illegal. This is excessive force. This agent deserves to be suspended without pay and criminally charged. If anybody knows his name, please contact me. The woman should also sue him.

🚨 A white cop tased a Black Army veteran 7 times while he was coming out of a seizure on his own front lawn and EMS was treating him. "HE JUST HAD A SEIZURE, BRO, BACK THE F*** UP OFF HIM!" Chattahoochee, FL Dwight Jackson was putting up Halloween decorations when he had a seizure and collapsed. His brother called 911. EMS was treating him when the officer showed up, shoved everyone aside and jumped on top of him. On camera, the officer claims Jackson was "actively grabbing my throat." His brother screams over and over that Jackson just had a seizure. Then the officer turns to EMS and says, "Help us restrain him." Jackson says it was "more terrifying than being in the war." The officer has been fired. Jackson was never booked into jail. He says they sat him in the back of a patrol car, then let him go. Should this officer be charged with a crime, or is firing him enough?

ACLU Releases Video of ICE Agent Slashing Observers’ Tire ICE agents tailed, boxed in, and then slashed the tire of observers’ vehicle before driving away
ICE is terrorizing our communities—now slashing tires of a Portland resident who attempted to shine a light on their abusive behavior. Amid ICE's unlawfulness, the right to bear witness has never been more important to hold our government accountable aclu.org/press-releases/aclu…

To every member of the National Guard: There's a federal law prohibiting *any* federal law enforcement officer to enter polling places while armed. This law has been in place since 1865. This should make you profoundly worried about your own legal exposure. Tread carefully.

🚨 BREAKING: A Texas grand jury has INDICTED ICE agent Mario Alberto Morales on felony aggravated assault charges after he struck a fleeing Mexican construction worker with his SUV in Houston, breaking the man’s leg in three places. Prosecutors say surveillance footage contradicts ICE’s claim that the collision was accidental. Even more disturbing, the man ICE claimed it was pursuing reportedly DIED nearly a decade ago, according to his family.

Texas election board member Allison Campolo says Maga is blindsiding them right before election day by misinterpreting statutes to make mostly Republicans in charge of election auditing, having Republicans take whole carts of ballots unsupervised.

Ken Paxton’s former top cop on why he’s voting for James Talarico: I spent 2 hours with James Talarico. Number one, I saw no deception. He answered all my difficult questions. He didn’t dodge anything. He hit it head on. I have been around politicians my entire life. I served 5 governors, I’ve met 4 presidents… And James Talarico is so different than other people I’ve encountered. I think he’s the man who needs to go to Washington DC, and Ken Paxton needs to go home.

🚨Abdul El-Sayed just verbally FLATTENED Donald Trump: “I will go through a metal detector if you will sit for a lie detector. My first question? Epstein. Second question, did you win the 2020 election? I will go through a metal detector every day if you sit through a lie detector one time.”

What a legend
Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

This is genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Fox News thought they were interviewing a Trump supporter, and this man went on national television to explain that he showed up just to witness the MAGA cult in its natural habitat. I'm crying laughing.

"The officer has been placed on administrative leave..." Caught on video... it appears to show an @AuburnWAPolice officer punching a man after the man was tasered - in an apparent attempt to handcuff the shirtless man. More this AM on @KIRONewsradio and @Mynorthwest
