Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

“I then placed the ambulance into park, took my foot off the brake, undid my seat belt and opened the driver’s side door. I looked up and suddenly the entire group of officers…were crowded around the open car door, some of them leaning forward towards me, inches from my face.”

An agent, the driver recalled, “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner and began viciously yelling in my face, stating, ‘DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU, I WILL ARREST YOU RIGHT NOW.’”

in an ideal world they would, but in our world some ppl are rightly afraid of pics of them when they were in bad condition are being leaked and used against them.

so instead i opt for the fascists to be gone and anyone who obstructs ambulances or paramedics facing jail time.
