If they do this for a simple collision, can you imagine how ICE would react if, while they're off arresting people, a group tipped over their cars? I mean, such a disturbing event would only take about four or five people, which would be terrible. I hope it never happens, especially more than once.

ICE claimed that he rammed their vehicle, and that others threw stones and their car. So not a simple collision, from their official point of view. Though that does not justify what happened here.

I also wonder why this even is a case for ICE and not the police.

ICE also claims Narciso Barranco stood his ground and assaulted officers with a weedwacker when he was clearly fleeing on the video. Their claims are worth as much as the toilet paper square I wiped my ass with this morning.

Well depending on your diet, that square could have been fertilizer, so I'd say it was considerably more valuable than any claims made by ICE.

Don't undersell your own shit.

Hey, with enough will power and fed up people, an ICE agent could also be used as fertilizer.

My Christian relatives are big fans of the Bible, supposedly.

I believe there's something in there about "from dust we were made, to dust we return" (paraphrased) so it would even be biblical, as long as we dry and pulverize the fertilizer!

This is sounding better and better. I do want a much bigger garden so I can grow more of my own food...
