Wow, I’m amazed that the agent could be charged for something at all. These people are above the law.

Ah, off duty.

Edited a word.

Imagine going after a 68-year-old man who is filming you in public. Throw this shitty ICE agent under the jail.

In an interview, Mr. Held, a 68-year-old trust and estate lawyer, said that he had been using his phone to record the agent from a sidewalk on Dec. 27, when Mr. Saracco approached him seeking to take the phone.

“He had his hands on me and threw me to the ground,” Mr. Held said. “He did grab my phone, but I held onto it with both hands, I had to use all my might. I said, ‘Calm down, you have to de-escalate.’ I heard horns honking and he got off me, he did not get my phone.

“Calm down, you have to de-escalate” is such a badass thing for him to say while being assaulted.

These chuds deserve a lifetime of mockery.
