1. bet they're not even ICE

They just gave up. It was like, "I'll pick an easier target." Their SUV had a clear view to the plate. Someone with the wherewithal should look it up and dox them.

I think there are "freelancers." I understand ICE workers get quite a sum if they bring someone in. Bet the freelancers and real ICE split the fee.

Or maybe the one guy was ICE and had his brother along to help out and "split the fee."

Pure speculation on my part, but I did watch the entire video.

What a struggle that man went through. Absolutely should not happen to anyone. He was a fighter, though! And the people on the street were encouraging and helpful, at least many of them were.

2. Thankfully it was only 1 real Ice agent, and he couldn't handle the guy. Great he got away

3. Roh roh....

Bad precedent for Ice Men. But trump can send in the military now, who have been told they can just gun people down that protest.

4. When I watched that video all I could think of was that when the back of the ICE agent was

exposed to on-lookers I wished one of the on-lookers had a stun gun.

5. The look of terror on this poor man's face will not leave my mind..we gotta start fighting back..

It looked like maybe someone could have tried to take off the goon’s shoes while he’s on his knees trying to handcuff or maybe take their hat off or masks or anything to aggravate them. Something! These neighbors have the right idea..encircling them and jabbing them so they can’t handcuff was brilliant..I’m talking stuff like what they did.

6. What did the woman in black pick up off the ground and throw away about 1:04?

It looked silvery - handcuffs? LOL

Then when the goons took off in their car, they pulled a swift right turn without signaling at all - a pile-up at that intersection would have been a choice ending.

7. Ah, no.

I freeze-framed it, and it's the taller goon's white baseball hat!

Still LOL
