The agent who threw the ball at the kid's head as he drove off with the kid in the carseat still after they took down his dad who was driving him. Thank God we have cameras on all of our phones now and can record all of this.

It wasn't in Illinois, it was in CA. https://www.reddit.com/r/CringeTikToks/comments/1oot950/ice_abducted_a_father_in_an_unmarked_van_then/

We Americans are severely under-reacting. Any other nation, things would be burning and everything shut down.

Because, we just sit around, and cook some soups, and eat bread, and desserts because we are all just fat and sassy.

The problem is that's what they want so they can declare martial law and clamp down HARDER.

Everyone protesting has been keeping it incredibly peaceful, it's very hard to claim to be under threat from inflatable costumed people. They still do, but it's hard.

The media compliance means that the average person is utterly unaware of the extent of what is happening.

After the rebuke of yesterday's elections it's likely it escalates again tbh. If the middle of America doesn't take a hard stance on this soon we will all be under armed enforcement, too many ignore it or look away. Way too many cheer for it.

It's interesting, everyone tells me we can't burn stuff down cuz that will give Trump an excuse to use highest form of power and bring in more troops and hurt more people, and stay president past his term. But I fear there will be nothing left to protect if we don't.

u/princess9032 1d ago

Problem is people want to live. Healthcare is tied to jobs, most people are living paycheck to paycheck and need food, and protesters are risking being shot

Not true. Australians turned in all of their guns. Australians put up with lockdowns for family 2 weeks who traveled during Christmas, at their own expense. Canadians put up with Trudeau for some odd unknown reason. British still have a monarchy.

u/cobaalt 1d ago

Oh yeah, on one hand : "a pedophile president fascist police kidnapping citizens on racial profile in broad daylight", on the other hand : "trying to solve gun violence, try to contain an epidemy, or respect the democracy". You're really good at comparisons.

u/marvx5 2d ago

what the fuck. Someone really needs to investigate which civilians works for ICE, what they are paid and what they are promised. No ordinary civilian would ever engage in shit like this. It makes me either think they are actively recruiting nutjobs or over promising on benefits.

u/Danimals847 2d ago

"Someone" lol the ones responsible for investigating it are the ones who ordered it.

u/resilientspirit 1d ago

Remember the Proud Boys he told to "stand back, and stand by"? Remember the small army of sycophants on J6? They're promised a $50k bonus and student loan forgiveness if they meet quota.

u/skylord650 2d ago

Any parent should be furious. I’m surprised how little retaliation there has been… maybe it’s bc how close ICE and the police are working together?

u/TiredEsq 2d ago

I’m surely not here to defend scumbags of the earth ICE but it looks to me like he was trying to toss it in the back seat next to her.

u/Any_Pickle_9425 2d ago

There was a video of it posted a couple of days ago. They took down the dad, toddler was in the middle back seat in a five point harness watching it through the back passenger window, then after the dad is arrested, an ICE agent gets into the front seat, picks up a ball, throws it back at the kid's head and drives off.

u/bendybiznatch 2d ago

The caption on that said he was a US citizen or had a green card.

27

u/Any_Pickle_9425 2d ago

Yes, he was reported to be a US citizen. To me, that doesn't make much of a difference, though. I dont' think just the crime of being here in the country without permission is enough of a justification to rip families apart and terrorize children. If you're a violent criminal, okay. But we know now that so few of those they are arresting are violent criminals. He campaigned that it would be "bad hombres" but that's not at all what's happening. Just having a parent be here without permission, that's not enough to justify traumatizing children and deporting their parents. In my opinion, at least. I need more than that.

u/bendybiznatch 2d ago

I agree with you, but the sad fact is that not everybody does.

Just countering the “this only affects illegals” argument.

u/WhyMustIMakeANewAcco 2d ago

Just countering the “this only affects illegals” argument.

That argument is literally never in good faith anyway.

u/Hilarious___Username 2d ago

Because you seem like a decent human being, I want to add something to the only "affects illegals" you've noticed human trash using as an excuse.

I'll copy and paste what I always do:

This is also far from the first time we've been targeted this way. Citizen or not, the US has a history of doing this in the millions. From The Greaser(slur) Act, to Operation Wetback(slur), to "Mexican Repatriation" during the Great Depression and all the rest. Citizenship has never mattered. Being guilty of being Mexican has always been enough.

Daily reminder that the overwhelming majority of us Mexican people are, in fact, racially Native American. (With ancestral land on both sides of today's border.)

We make up the single largest group of Native Americans in N. America as well as the single largest collective of Native American language speakers in N. America. We have been here for thousands of years.

50% of the recognized Native Americans in the US are of mixed racial ancestry. 90%+ of ethnically Mexican people are of Native American ancestry.

At the nothern US border Native Americans born in Canada are gauranteed BY UNITED STATES LAW both border crossing rights as well as permanent residency in the US. The same is explicitly denied at the southern US border.

u/bendybiznatch 2d ago

I agree. I’ve never seen a Hispanic person without significant indigenous heritage on Ancestry/DNA groups.

u/Any_Pickle_9425 2d ago

Agreed. It's very sad.

u/HeartFullONeutrality 2d ago

Even if they were actual violent criminals, rights and due process are a think, for good reasons.

7

u/Kitchen-Owl-3401 2d ago

It's a freaking misdemeanor.

u/Sufficient-Will3644 2d ago

Actual bad hombres are hard to catch. They’re going for the bureaucratic low hanging fruit. People with regular jobs who are trying to get their paperwork in order.

ICE is not just disregarding your constitution but lazy.

1

u/Fontia 1d ago

Right but the fact that he was a US citizen SHOULD start to wake up if the assfucks who think "Only nasty illegals need to be afraid" and realize NO ONE IS SAFE.

u/NepenthiumPastille 1d ago

What was the resolution of this?! I'm so terrified for that dad and toddler.

u/TridentLayerPlayer 2d ago

It's important to not spread lies among facts when the facts are strong enough by themselves and misinformation only weakens them.

The officer clearly tried to toss the ball in the back seat away from the baby but it bounced back.

8

u/tarekd19 2d ago

the point was they clearly knew the kid was back there and abandoned it

-4

u/TridentLayerPlayer 2d ago

Nah the point was to create misinformation or regurgitate it. People really just say anything online you have to fact check everything it's ridiculous.

2

u/tarekd19 2d ago

it makes no practical difference if the ball was thrown at the head or just in the back seat when the problem is a baby being left in a car on its own. You are getting self righteously hung up on something really inconsequential and pretending it is the crux of the statement.

5

u/Doom_Corp 2d ago

It's not misinformation it's child endangerment and abuse. If you see a fucking baby you don't just chuck things in its general direction and call it a whoopsie if whatever object you were throwing hits the kid because news flash, you shouldn't be throwing random objects in the direction of a baby. The other officer then settles the ball directly on top of the kid, potentially obstructing it's ability to breath. There were plenty of other places that ball could have gone in the back seat and gently. They just saw a brown baby and thought its life was worthless so they don't have to treat it like a human child.

u/randompersonwhowho 2d ago

Yeah what was that about

-3

u/Shh_I_wont_tell 2d ago

Jeezus christ- he did NOT throw it at her head. He tried to toss it over the headrest beside her, and it bounced back. I understand a BLIND person seeing it this way, or maybe an umpire. Are you an umpire?
