This is what you get when you hire hothead bumpkins with about as much de-escalation training as they have experience as rocket scientists.
Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-immigration - but if there's a border patrol, a border guard, they should be professionally trained. If not, you get dumb shit like this happening, and then people get hurt - or even die when "resisting arrest"... that can mean so many things.
I'm just curious how you somehow got "border patrol, a border guard" out of anything that happened?
This wasn't the border patrol. It was new York police. This person was already in the country presumably released by USBP at the border.
Local police did this.
I don't think anyone there is Border Patrol. It's NYPD and likely national guard because Hochul and Adams are DINOs who love using guys in camo as political props as much as Greg Abbott.
And of course the ex cop mayor is 100% covering for them, even with video showing the cops tazing the man holding the child and witness video confirming it was a shelter employee that attacked him and then called the cops.
The mayor trying to say "they had to taze him to protect the child" is by far the stupidest thing ive heard today. Not only did that also likely taze the child, the drop risk if the father had collapsed was way, way higher than any danger the child was in while in his fathers arms. These sick fucks could have just talked to him and kept him at arms length, but nah. Taze a kid.
