San Bernardino family claims federal agents shot at truck

https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/san-bernardino-family-claims-federal-agents-shot-at-truck-shattered-windows/3765321/

The family said the masked men did not identify themselves and did not provide any judicial warrants. The DHS did not say whether the agents had warrants.

The bullet holes on the side of the truck as well as shattered windows confirmed the altercation Saturday morning.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said when officers attempted a vehicle stop in the area of Acacia Avenue and Baseline Street Saturday morning, people inside the truck refused to come out then "tried to run them down."

Prove it. Fucking murderous cunts.

Following the altercation, dozens of community members as well as federal agents with the Homeland Security Investigations vests gathered outside the home.

At least one person was arrested for assaulting a federal officer, San Bernardino police said.

But the person was set free "despite refusing to comply and wounding officers," the DHS said.

It really does sound like they're just making shit up as they go. Would they really set an arrestee free after "assaulting and wounding" one of theirs? I call bull shit.

Considering that the DHS is regularly fabricating charges post hoc when their kidnapping squad needs it, there must have been no credible evidence of this claim. But apparently that's still not enough to stop them from lying about it to the press.

An accusation from the fascists is evidence enough. There must have been credible evidence of the claim's falsity.

I mean they have made shit up when there was literal video proof of the contrary before. Like they claimed that an 80 year old senator body slammed them. Or when they arrested Alex Padilla. It's obvious they always make shit up.

Tried? Well, better luck next time.

"(It's) another terrible example of California's pro-sanctuary policies in action that shield criminals instead of protecting communities," the federal agency added.

The only criminals I see in this story are the masked men shooting at civilians.

We need to run over arm robbers to protect our families. The family did the right thing.

Statement from Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice

Alt text

BORDER PATROL FIRES ON CIVILIAN VEHICLE, STAGES WARRANTLESS OPERATION At approximately 8:40am, immigration agents stopped a vehicle, broke the driver and passenger windows, and fired three times while people were inside. The individual returned home after it became clear agents had no warrant. In fear, the family called SBPD for help. Instead of intervening, SBPD did little to assist. By 9:30am, armed ICE and HSI agents, joined by SBPD, surrounded the home. Despite never presenting a warrant, they remained until 3:45pm, pressuring the individual to come outside. During the incident, two community members were detained using unnecessary force, including one for speaking out. This was a clear abuse of power. Firing at civilians, harassing families without cause, and targeting community voices must stop. We demand full accountability and transparency from SBPD and DHS. We thank all who showed up to support the family. Because of that collective pressure, ICE left. This is not an isolated incident it is part of a larger, unacceptable pattern.

Why didn't police arrest armed thugs who shot at civilians? That surely is an attempted murder?

Because we live in a fascist nation now

The elected and appointed government officials completely dropping their masks is a new problem, but all cops being bastards has been a problem since before this administration

It's time for massive protests against SBPD, on top of everything else.

Just sounds like premeditated murder. People are justified now in disabling those vehicles.

It is simply a matter of time until a gravy seal is killed in his 'line of duty' kidnapping civilians. It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when.

Imagine they pulled this shit on an actual violent gang banger. The ya'll Qaeda fuck that makes that mistake ain't going home to his family.

And it'll probably start a civil war.

gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 1y

And it'll probably start a civil war.

Seeing as we already have armed squads targeting specific regions on missions to capture and kill other people, I think their side already started fighting that war and it's just a question of who's going to organize a defense

Hopefully it's a whole team at once, and it's recorded in 1080 from 3 angles.

My heart wants it to be a molotov, but really I hope it's some white-appearing legal gun owners exercising their god-given (lol) right to bear arms and defend themselves; really throw the right wing into a spin

That’s why the chicken shits are targeting law abiding people. Notice how often it’s nabbing someone who’s showing up for immigration court, who’s been actively complying with the law for years… they are yellow bellied bullies that would never pick on someone who could fight back.

The Department of Homeland Security said Customs and Border Patrol agents were forced to open fire as they were struck by the family's car.

They always say that bullshit. They’re not fooling anyone, but I guess they don’t have to.

Newsome should really start ordering the arrest of these ice agents. Have the police go arrest them for armed assault.
