It is looking more and more like ICE targeted Petit for retaliation. There isn’t much that gets a cop thrown in jail for life (or executed), but premeditated murder is one of those things. And it’s a state level crime, one that Trump can’t pardon, and the statute of limitations is never. So MAGA may want to stop sharing these videos. |
It’s not comparable. These aren’t normal, legal “protests” where the police have the sole duty of crowd control. People are literally stalking, following, harassing, impeding and interfering with ICE when they are stopping people , arresting people, and on duty. I’m sure MCPD and DC wouldn’t tolerate random crazed people follow in them, kicking in their cars and impeding the roads while they are making a traffic stops, arresting someone, doing drug busts, and otherwise conducting police duties. |

Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down Using military terms like rotations, theater etc does more than imply this is a military occupation. |
They are in public space. If ICE can't handle that, then they need better training. Being followed or hearing whistles should not be ratlling federal agents. They are all snowflakes who are totally untrained and unprepared. And...none of this would be necessary if they were conducting themselves in a legal manner. We didn't see this type of pushback during Obama, Trump45 or Biden because....they were acting legally under JUDICIAL warrants and actually getting criminals. That isn't what they are doing now, is it? |
Most of them are standing, whistling, yelling, filming. You can't legitimately arrest them for that. The only difference is on Jan. 13 he kicked a car. That's what you'd arrest him for. That said, five ICE agents shouldn't have tackled him and broken his rib in response. |
| I don't necessarily believe those other videos are real, could be AI. Let's hear from the person who recorded it |
Of course, we don't know what preceded this. Did ICE kidnap a little kid? Punch an immigrant? Who knows! |
| Show another POV with the kicking and spitting or stop showing that fake video. |
The middle of the road road isn’t a public place for you to stand and protest if you aren’t authorized to be there. You also cannot get as close to police activity as you want- they can tell you to move or leave and arrest you if you won’t. Next time you see the police dealing with someone pulled over on the side of road, go ahead and pull up, get out of car and start screaming at them and see what happens |
+1 Again, regular police, DC MPD are better trained and more restrained and can handle protesters, people filming, etc. All I see with ICE is low hiring standards, poor training, and ineptitude. Why the party of "back the blue" accepts such low performance and standards, no idea. It actually puts ICE officers more at risk. |
ICE aren’t police. They are administrative cops who have one job. And they are clearly failing at it. |

Oh so he's mad at ICE for all their abuses. So is the rest of the world! A kick to a car is NOT deserving of 10 bullets to the back, MAGAs, come on. You defend excessive brutality, we know.
In WWII my grandmother's city was occupied by the Japanese. She was forced to serve them as they terrorized the community. In quiet protest, she would spit in their drinks before serving them. I'm sure MAGAs would defend the soldiers stalking and raping innocent civilians (just like ICE) and want my grandmother zipped and locked up. |
Making shit up, because that's all you cretins have left. "Rachel Canoun, Pretti’s ex-wife, told The Associated Press that she was not surprised he was involved in protests against President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. She said Pretti was a Democratic voter who had participated in the wave of protests following the 2020 killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, which occurred not far from the neighborhood where they once lived. Canoun described Pretti as someone who could shout at law enforcement during protests but said she never knew him to be physically confrontational. “These kinds of things, you know, he felt the injustice to it,” she told the AP. “So it doesn’t surprise me that he would be involved.” She said Pretti obtained a permit to carry a concealed firearm about three years ago and owned at least one handgun when the two separated. “He didn’t carry it around me, because it made me uncomfortable,” Canoun said." |
Whose camera recorded this, allegedly? Was that before or after they broke his rib? |
ICE are not police. And yes, public space is public space. I don't need special permission to stand in, or cross a street. |
