I can’t count how many times cops have lied about being spat on. It’s one of their favourite go to excuses when they want to abuse people

During the confrontation, the ICE agent had his head leaning against the grate to see more clearly and the suspect’s spit directly hit the agent’s face, prosecutors said.

😂

Dude could have just wiped his face off and let the system deport the guy, but instead he wanted to make an issue of it and have his shame read into a court record.

Amidst all the horror and cruelty, it's also important too recognize how objectively lame all these assholes are. An ICE officer leaning in and falling to react so he gets a lougie in the face, then also complains about it like it's a serious crime. What a loser.

Bitch ass cop can't handle a face shot. I'm sure it's not his first.

thus article does not state the agent's name. what is the name of the agent?

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I know what it's not. 47.

Spitting was a wrong action. I would do a "golden rain" over any government delusional slave.
