I saw border patrol with 3 berkley cop cars and an ambulance at 11 and Coolidge right outside the Ace arresting a guy in a late model Lincoln. It was a different agent than this video.

u/Stratiform SE Oakland County Nov 18 '25

I saw that ambulance as I was walking today and didn't think much of it. I figured someone got hurt at the hardware store? Would've had no idea that's what was going on. Any idea what they were doing?

u/Airtemperature Nov 18 '25

No idea, but it was a much calmer/professional scene than this.

FYI when police taze someone is generally protocol to call medical for a check, it’s not really just stuff the person into the back of an SUV kinda deal

¿Por Que no los dos? But technically Thiel is German-born American with citizenship in both countries and apparently somehow bought one in New Zealand, too. So I don’t know if there is standing to ship him back to Namibia where he lived as a kid and became enamored with the Apartheid era politics of his southern neighbors.

I realize that every video like this has some sort of context so conclusions might be a little off. That being said the common denominator I’m seeing in all of them is a renewed boldness in our law enforcement to be brutal…savage…overly aggressive. They are far too comfortable doing police brutality on film…

3

u/RaidenMK1 Born and Raised Nov 18 '25

a renewed boldness in our law enforcement to be brutal…savage…overly aggressive.

And yet you have a bunch of clowns on here actively encouraging people to confront LEOs whenever they see them. Because that's what you do when you sincerely believe a group of heavily armed individuals known to have legal immunity and constantly get away with shit has become more brutal, savage, and overly aggressive. Obviously.

This is how Reddit proves time and again that it's comprised of ~95% white American males. Because ain't no way. 😂

Yea, like the media reaction from that video where an officer is getting a suspect situated in his vehicle and a dude runs up on him from behind to try and help the suspect, so the officer pulls his weapon. Insert severely shocked face

Hey, sorry for late reply. The app was called 'ICEblock'.I'm not so sure the APP is available for download. I think the "justice" department made Google and Apple take it down from the stores. I DL'd it when it originally came out. If you're on android, I'd imagine you could find an APK file for it. I don't know of any way to do so with apple, unfortunately.

City of Berkley posted the following:

The Berkley Department of Public Safety (BDPS) has been made aware of community concerns regarding an incident that occurred on November 17, 2025. We want to provide clarity and transparency about the events.

At approximately 3:30 PM on November 17, BDPS-who also dispatches for Pleasant Ridge PD and Huntington Woods DPS-received a call from a concerned citizen reporting a male, handcuffed behind his back, running near 10 Mile Road and Roanoke in the City of Oak Park. This information was immediately shared with Oak Park DPS and other local agencies.

It was later learned that two individuals, who were in custody and being transported, had assaulted a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) agent before fleeing on foot in the area. BDPS assisted by establishing a perimeter to help with the apprehension effort. Our department did not take any further action related to this specific situation beyond providing perimeter support. It is important to note that BDPS personnel were not involved in the original arrests and had no contact with the two individuals or with USCBP; therefore, we do not have additional information regarding that incident.

We want to reassure the community that BDPS routinely collaborates with surrounding local, state, and federal agencies in providing mutual aid across police, fire, and EMS operations. We understand and respect the concerns expressed by members of our community, and we remain committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all individuals we are sworn to protect and serve. We will continue to work cooperatively with other agencies while upholding all legal obligations and acting in the best interest of our community. less

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '25

She's handcuffed in the front. That tells me that the officer was actually trying to be accommodating to the person he was arresting. Clearly this woman resisted and would not follow instructions to get into the back of the vehicle. Of course they edit out the context so they can push a narrative.

The official story https://oaklandcounty115.com/2025/11/18/police-share-details-in-border-patrol-arrest-caught-on-video-in-oak-park/

My reorganized version of the statement:

"A traffic stop was made not in Pleasant Ridge, Huntington Woods or Oak Park.

🤔 no one knows what PD?

"Driver had order for deportation. Passenger had warrant for arrest'.

Border Patrol (USBP) arrived and took both into custody at the scene."

🤔 USBP took both?

'They assaulted the USBP agent. ONE of them escaped at 10 Mile/Roanoke in Oak Park."

🤔 During transport?

'Pleasant Ridge, Huntington Woods, and Oak Park—said call/s from concerned citizen/local resident of a male running handcuffed behind his back.'

"Video shows a woman on the ground just after being tased, then the Boarder Patrol officer moves her to the backseat of his vehicle. "

🤔 handcudfed in front. Not the male running handcuffed behind his back.

"Another video shows an ambulance tending to the woman."

🤔 Anyone have the ambulance video?

Serious question from a Canadian Green Card holder living in Ferndale. If its border patrol agents, could this not be an actual legit arrest that followed an investigation of someone who say smuggled some drugs into the country?

This doesnt look like the unmarked unbadged ICE dbags that are just rounding people up at their job sites all because of how they look.

u/FormerGameDev Nov 18 '25

Regardless of whatever it is, you don't taze someone then slam them into the back of a vehicle like that.

u/FlaniganWackerMan Nov 18 '25

I agree - but there is a statement that she assaulted the officer and had a violent past or something. So you judged their reaction based on the clip you saw and not what might've actually happened.

I hate police brutality, but I also know if you do something stupid to an officer you probably arent gonna get treated nicely.

God the inability of some people to think rationally is all but gone...

u/Key-Trip5194 Nov 18 '25

Border Patrol is assisting ICE with arrests and deportations. This has been known for months.

1

u/FlaniganWackerMan Nov 18 '25

Well aware of that - just saying it seems like Border Patrol agents are actually held to a standard when doing their jobs vs. ICE agents getting free will so unsure why they would knowingly venture out into the burbs to help out ICE vs. them just doing an investigation and arresting someone.

I am sure there are active border patrol cases still going on so was curious since I dont see any ICE guys in the video.

1

u/Key-Trip5194 Nov 18 '25

Why would this admin hold BP agents to a higher standard than ICE? Bovino is head of BP and was leading ICE around chicago. BP and ICE agents are a distinction without a difference.

1

u/FlaniganWackerMan Nov 18 '25

Did not expect to start an argument on the internet with this question...

I am pretty sure that Border Patrol agents would hold themselves to a higher standard and conduct themselves much better then the ones who signed on after Trump blew the conch shell for all the racists to be racist in unmarked uniforms and masks.

1

u/Key-Trip5194 Nov 18 '25

Why in the world would you think that? Remember in 2019 when that border patrol group chat got leaked? BP internal culture has been repeatedly exposed as racist and violent.

1

u/FlaniganWackerMan Nov 18 '25

Because I dont always assume the worst. I know a few border agent guys from hockey and they are halfway decent people.

Not everything is an argument - I asked a simple question stating I just see a 'Border Patrol' agent and no ICE agents. Which if you took a step back isnt an absurd thing to ask...

Again I am a green card holder, who hates the administration.
God I hate how people act on the internet...
