Rafie Ollah Shouhed, 79, suffered multiple broken ribs, elbow injuries and a traumatic brain injury during the Sept. 9 incident, according to the federal tort claim filed by his attorneys.

According to his claim, when Shouhed attempted to show agents proof of his employees’ work authorization, agents “cursed at him” and “violently body-slammed him onto the pavement.” Three agents then allegedly pinned him down, with one placing a knee on his neck, the claim stated.

“You don’t f— with ICE. We are here,” agents responded, according to the claim.

    Of course it isn’t, and again talk about civil war is a slippery slope argument.
    The post you originally responded to didn’t even mention anything about violence, but only that 14 days until the next big demonstration is too long, and strong worded letters are not enough, and you immediately conflate that to too much violence?

    WTF???

    Obviously if USA wants to keep their democracy, this cannot at this time be achieved without a demonstration of force.
    A demonstration of force does not have to be violent, but it does require people to respond in force, as in many people showing up. And just as in war, you cannot win if you are not willing to fight.

    Fascism can’t be beat by pacifism.
