Narciso Barranco, 48, a landscaper from Tustin in Southern California, was left bloodied and visibly shaken after being violently detained by at least seven alleged immigration officers while working outside of an IHOP on Saturday.

In one short video first posted by Santa Ana councilman Johnathan Hernandez and the social Instagram account @Santaanaproblems, alleged Customs and Border Protection agents struck Barranco in the head at least six times, thrusting his face into the concrete and kneeling on his neck, before he was forced into the back of a light-colored Chevrolet SUV using a truncheon.

Barranco’s shoulder was left dislocated, his eldest son, Alejandro, a 25-year-old Marine veteran, told the Los Angeles Times.

Alejandro Barranco, who served with the Marine Corps in Afghanistan, told the Santanero that his father was transferred to a detention facility in LA.

"to be fair", the ~~veterans~~ Marines in this news is the "wrong color". edit: I'm not American and don't know how to use the veteran status so I changed it to Marines as per the article.

pretty sure the white supremacists resent having "animals" in their ranks.

To be fair they're the wrong colour? Wtf are you even saying here?... and, can you not?

Like can you not be stepping in right now to try to explain for the racists? Who do you think you're helping out by deciding that's necessary?

STFU.

I'm sorry. you're right, there's no excuse for that comment. I didn't treat this seriously, and didn't think through what I wrote

It's cool bro, commenting on the Internet gets like that sometimes. But in this case I think we all understand what's going on.
