đ¨BREAKING: An ICE agent POINTED A GUN at a U.S. citizen, through her car window, while threatening her, in Falls Church, Virginia.
And the excuse?
They claimed she âalmost ran them over.â
Except⌠she had a dash cam recording the entire thing.
She immediately called their bullshit:
âYou are so full of shit. I didnât almost run anyone over.â
The agent tells her, âYou arenât funny.â
She responds, âYou arenât funny.â
Then he threatens her⌠âKeep it up, I will arrest you.â While he has his gun aimed inches away from her.
She says, âIâm a legal citizen, for what?â
And they keep threatening her with arrest.
Then, the agent repeats the accusation that she tried to run them over.
So, she tells him, âRun you over when? I have dash cam recording. Thatâs a lie.â
And suddenly⌠they WALK AWAY.
Because if she had actually tried to run federal agents over, why did they just leave after she called their bullshit, and said she had video proving them wrong?
And just to emphasize the seriousness of what happenedâŚ
An ARMED federal agent had his GUN POINTED AT A WOMAN, through her car window, while threatening her with arrest.
Pointing a firearm at someone is an enormous use of force that should NEVER be treated casually⌠especially when the supposed justification is an accusation they apparently couldnât⌠or wouldnât⌠back up.
She wasnât arrested.
They didnât show her evidence that she committed a crime.
They just threatened her, pointed a gun at her, and repeatedly told her they would lock her up if she continued following them.
And the SECOND she says, âI have it on dash cam,â they WALK AWAY.
Because apparently the threat disappears when thereâs a camera that can prove what actually happened.
This is exactly why people need to DOCUMENT these encounters.
Because when armed federal agents can point guns at citizens, and make accusations with seemingly no consequences, the public needs cameras.
And when they threaten you for asking, âFor what?â
keep recording.
Sharing the ICE-advice I sent my teen daughter today after this attempted murder in my community:
âICE just tried to murder someone in Falls Church. These are very dangerous people who could target you because of me. They purposely step in front of moving cars so theyâll have an excuse to kill the driver. They also go to the homes of protestors AND immigration attorneys to threaten their families. Hereâs what I need you to do:
1. Take the magnetic Abolish ICE stickers off my car before driving it.
2. Always lock the front door. If anyone knocks, LOOK through the peephole and DO NOT OPEN IT IF YOU SEE THOSE FUCKERS.
3. Immediately start recording, even if you can only record talking and canât see them. Try to livestream if you can.
4. Open the [redacted] window and ask if they have a warrant. If they say yes, make them show it to you through the window. If it doesnât have either of our names, a date, a real judgeâs signature, and give them permission to enter, tell them to get fucked.
5. If they tell you they canât get through the bushes to show you a warrant, tell them thatâs not your goddamn problem:
6. If they donât go away, call 911. Tell them that you are a minor at home alone and there are armed masked men who are trying to break into the house.
7. If you are driving and see them, GET THE FUCK AWAY. Whatever you do donât drive near them. Pull over if you have to.
8. If they stop you, start recording immediately and livestream it if you can.
9. If they ask you questions, say âAM I FREE TO GO?â
10. If they say no, say âI INVOKE MY RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT and want to see a lawyer.â
11. You donât have to tell them a goddamn thing and NO ONE has ever once benefitted from talking to the police. Donât answer their questions. KEEP RECORDING.
12. Also, ALWAYS say âI DO NOT CONSENT TO A SEARCHâ if they ask.
deadass play this right now. they dropped this on us out of the blue after apparently working on it for LIKE 3 YEARS.
PLAY IT. PLAY IT PLEASE. ITS SO GOOD
