Honestly, he probably would have been shot by the ICE officer. Real cops can sometimes asses threats and respond appropriately. In this case it looks like they stepped in to prevent things from escalating to deadly force.

Of course they over reacted and it made it look like a clown show. There was no reason for the ICE officer to reach in this situation. They have to be the worst trained officers I have ever seen.

Driving this fast and close to human beings is disgusting. The conservatives have been chomping at the bit to make it legal to run over protestors for awhile now. This disregard for human life is seen time and time again by ICE.

The idea that you can be murdered for temporarily impending someone is what their twisted minds desire. An excuse to kill someone with your vehicle for inconveniencing you.
