What was he even sprinting to do? Just to immediately run away again?

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It looks like he was trying to run after someone on foot, moved towards the ice to avoid running into a pedestrian in the street (you can see there were people in the middle of the street) and busted his ass because he didn't realize there was black ice right there. You can see a guy run out of frame right as they pan up from him hitting the ground, so I'm guessing it was someone they were pursuing.

Their job is so damn important that they can just give up and run away when there is the slightest push back

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago

Pussies. Bullies always crumble when they get even the slightest push back

Reminded me of a video I saw once of a toddler that was running towards something, fell and hurt themselves, and then got up and ran away crying.

[–] MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

He's running back to suckle on that fat orange titty.

He probably pooped when he hit the ground.

Why doesn’t anyone want to talk about ICE on ICE violence?

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago

There isn't enough

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It's being actively repressed. There was a brave artist who drew attention to this matter in 1990.

[–] man_wtfhappenedtoyou@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Did he hit his head? I couldn't quite tell. That was a heck of a fall though, you love to see it. Gets right back in his car. Little bitch probably went to go cry.

[–] pentastarm@piefed.ca 35 points 1 day ago

Even if he did hit his head, the only thing damaged would have been the pavement.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I don't think he hit his head, but there was def. trauma. He'll be pretty sore the next day. What was he even doing? When we were kids we'd run and 'skid' across the ice, with one foot forward and one back. This guy hit the ice at speed, pulled his stablizing rear foot to his front, an bam right on his back. Basic physics.

[–] Pieisawesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 day ago

He probably hasn’t been in winter weather before.

The way they are shuffling these clowns around I’d say it’s pretty likely they aren’t familiar with the areas

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I managed to slip on some ice about a year ago and hit my back like that (albeit not as hard I wouldnt think as I wasnt running). Ended up feeling rather sick for several days starting that evening, I presume because of the my immune system dealing with dead cells or something. In any case, might be a bit more than just sore from a fall like that.

I doubt he even thought to check, dude had tunnel vision

man those vibes are actually great. this is the most hopeful thing I've seen in days regarding the state in the US. good on all those people present harassing the nazi enforcer

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Sadly it is impossible to tell if any brain damage resulted from this.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Seeing as how its a gestapo agent, no brain is present so no brain damage occured.

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

I doubt he damaged the pavement if that's what you mean

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I was wondering if maybe he'd finally knocked some goddamned sense into himself.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's that black ice, out to get you. Soon black ice will be declared terrorist group. Recommend hosing down the sidewalks before these guys come down your block.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

WOW I could see his actual tail between his legs

Great to see some Americans finally rising up!... keep it up ladies and gents

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Well this is what happens when you make it illegal to warn people about the presence of ICE

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I hope he broke his little coccyx

Never invade Minnesota in the winter.

[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

Ice vs ICE and ice is winning

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

I love the trot of shame as he retreats in humiliation. He should be doxxed so everybody can make fun of him personally.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Lol that's brilliant
