Were they supposed to just leave the child alone after arresting the father? If so, would they have written this same story, but lambasted the officers for leaving the toddler alone?
The Guardian for some reason is really focusing on the part that isn’t actually bad, in a story where bad things happened.
Police usually call a family member or something to come pick up the child at the scene or, at the worst, call CPS. Can't even hold themselves to US cop standards.
"Your kid is at the station" is a pretty common way to do just that.
I'm sorry, you think it's normal for federal agents to drive away in a citizens car WITH a child in it?
Not to mention it was a 1 year old, and the family doesn't know what happened with the child during the HOURS they had here I their custody.
Cops don't even drive away in your car, even if it's evidence. They have to have it towed.
Yeah, just imagine what would happen if he had gotten in an accident. Even ignoring abducting the child, can you imagine what a mess that insurance report would be?
But they're not cops! They're masked ice agents ✨ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Doesn't that mean they have the presidents permission to break the rules?
I'm sure if it happened to them they would be totally cool about it and completely understanding with the unidentified masked men taking off in their car with their 2yo in the back seat. I mean, who wouldn't be? Lol
Nothing says "I believe movies are real life" more than what you wrote there.
no it isn't. you're full of shit.
2yo? They have people to take care of children at each station or do they just lock toddlers up until someone shows up?
When the kid has been arrested, yes.
Why did ICE arrest a US citizen? That's not their jurisdiction. If he did commit an arrestable offense, which is unlikely, local PD should be handling that. Period.
It fucking is now thanks to the lawles fanta fascista running the show.
FTA: the 32-year-old “exited his vehicle wielding a hammer and threw rocks at law enforcement while he had a child in his car”
According to ICE agents who need an alibi for arresting a US citizen. Everything they say is horse shit till proven real by verifiable sources.
Yeah I want to see the bodycam footage!
ICE agents are liars.
According to SCOTUS cops are professional liars
Again, they should have called the police with juriscidtion if that were the case. They should have, at most, detained him on scene until cops show up.
So far I've seen:
They clearly are cultivating a culture of make stuff up to blame the people they get mad at. They have zero credibility.
Holy fuck. You are insane.
Kidnapping is pretty fucking bad, my dude.
First, in most cases these are unidentified masked men. You don't know foe sure if they are real government agents jumping out of an unmarked car. These kind of dangerous situations are being intentionally provoked.
