    if it’s a “genuine mistake” while on their way somewhere else then the narrative is this: they saw a latino driving and decided to pull her over by smashing into her car, getting out in full combat gear and masks, pointing automatic weapons at her, dragging her out of the car by her hair, kneeling on her back, and forming an armed blockade between her and the public

    there’s no genuine mistake here that doesn’t paint them as racially profiling her

    even if she were an undocumented armed gang member this is not the way law enforcement should behave

      I agree, but what if there’s more to the story we don’t know about. The article says ICE also claimed she was using her car to block them from getting through, which which would be illegal, and if that is true, she kinda got off easy because they didn’t even charge her with anything.

      However, this is not up to me to decide. This should go before a proper court of law. I am not qualified for this.
