Here’s an update on one of those:

“The person behind this claim is well-known for acts of violence outside the ICE facility in Portland, including throwing rocks and other objects at the building and personnel, agitating other rioters into violent actions, shouting inappropriate phrases and yelling at officers, assaulting officers, refusing to obey commands, and resisting arrest. Furthermore, he has used fake blood to falsify injuries. He has repeatedly perpetuated and encouraged violence against the brave men and women of FPS and ICE.

Let’s see how the courts treat them.

I defend the rights of peaceful protesters. It’s part of America. But if they refuse lawful orders, or interfere with government agents, then they deserve to be arrested.



>Here’s an update on one of those:

You mean a story provided by an unnamed "senior DHS official"? Not buying it. This unnamed "senior DHS official" also refused to substantiate any of the claims they make.

Not sure why you'd take the word of an unnamed "senior DHS official" as gospel and completely ignore the video.

Maybe ICE agents should actually start wearing bodycams, but then again it is more cost effective for them to just fabricate entire stories that serve as justification to brutalize peaceful protestors. After all many people (you included) believe absolutely everything the government says without a second thought despite the video contradicting them.

The government is completely comfortable lying to everyone about everything, incouding easily refutable things caught on video. It is a wonder that people still take their word for it.

>I defend the rights of peaceful protesters.

As explained, you absolutely do not, in fact you do the opposite and go out of your way to defend people who brutalize and throw peaceful protestors in cages.


He wasn't doing any of those things at the time. You interestingly don't even attempt to defend the other incidents.


I just googled one of the names and came up with that. I’m not going to research every one.

As I said before, let’s see what the courts find provable. It should be pretty easy to see if he used fake blood, etc. The trial should bring some things to light.

Totally very extremely violent ambulance driver parking an ambulance gets threatened with murder by an ICE agent. I guess that's fine as ICE agents are beyond criticism and never ever at fault apparently.
