Just a minute ago, you were trying to convince me that violently pulling her out of the car was the worst thing they did, now we’re back to the hit-and-run, which we already discussed at the beginning of the thread. We’re kinda going in circles, aren’t we?
And no, I’m not trying to excuse that either. They should have enough professionalism to admit when they fucked up, and be required to pay some sort of restitution so she can fix her car and pay for her medical bills.
However, there might be more to the story that we don’t really know about, due to the lack of evidence about what happened right before the crash. At the bottom of the article, it states that ICE additionally accused her of having used her car to block their agents from getting through. While we can clearly see that the allegations that she rammed them on purpose are false, there is not enough evidence here to verify or dismiss that claim, but even interfering with them passively is something they are allowed to detain people for, if only temporarily.
Check who you’re replying to, that was my first comment in the thread. My point was that you’re doing a lot of stretching to come up with reasons why all of their conduct was fine. They hit her, but it’s OK because she was maybe blocking them. They were going go hit and run, but it’s OK because they’ve got important business to get to. They dragged her out the car and detained her, but it’s OK because they let her go several hours later (ignoring the lack of a real reason to detain her in the first place).
How can you watch videos like this and your first response to be to leap to the defence of ICE?

Because intellectually and morally, he is one of them. Probably, he’s just too dweebish to be actually accepted as an “agent”, even by ICE…
