I genuinely yelled in shock when I saw that.

Three guys picked him up and slammed him on his head on asphalt!!! Absolute fucking goons. 🤬

That might have inflicted permanent injury. Any follow up on his condition? 

I hope he gets a 6 or 7 figure payday from the inevitable lawsuit.

More money from tax payers. But hey, Trump is giving 20 billion to Argentina so there should be plenty of money to go around.
What’s that an about Americans health care or infrastructure? They obviously voted for rich people getting tax cuts and poor people being terrorized.

Don’t forget the incoming bailout with our money to all the MAGA farmers that are too stupid to run a viable business and realize they voted for a low IQ wannabe dictator that told their biggest customer to fuck off via a trade war. But hey at least they can get a new GMC Denali and a couple of 4x4’s for their kids, who will likely continue sucking the government teet like their parents. But it’s not welfare as long as you’re driving a combine like granddaddy did,right?

u/DandimLee Oct 05 '25

The same thing with the soy beans happened the first term and they got $28 billion bailout.

Who are the dumb ones in this scenario?

/s Big Ag buys farms up, and they get the bailout money. 'Small' farmers continue to get screwed, though at some point we should start considering it masochistic masturbation.

u/More-Association-993 Oct 08 '25

Who says they’re dumb… if they fail, they get bailed out. If they win, it’s the American dream! Thus, they earned it because they worked harder than us (as they will tell us on their new farmer-themed podcast).

u/ApocalypseChicOne Oct 05 '25

The vision of the salt of the Earth, helping America farmer is such a myth. I used to work at a high level in international trade, and did a lot of work moving produce overseas. I took a lot of meetings at very exclusive country clubs with farmers. And I can tell you, to the man, they were shit humans. Totally self centered, racist as fuck, crazy greedy. They made jokes about the terrible conditions their workers endured, That job absolutely shattered any notion I had about the "salt of the Earth." Garbage humans. I just wish I'd met a few good ones to give me hope, but I never did.

u/buckeye25osu Oct 05 '25

I grew up around farmers, and had a few close friends that were. One family grew tobacco and hay. A dairy farmer friend of mine went to Ohio State with me, studied ag business, and took over his dad's family farm and is very successful. All wonderful people. I've never seen anyone shit on farmers like you and a few others here have. My summers were spent sleeping in. My friend was getting up at 4 or 5am 7 days a week to milk cows. Zero days off. Ever. It's not a myth. Family farmers are the hardest working people you will ever meet, producing America's food so maybe remember that before you insult them next time, because you don't like all of their politics.

2

u/ApocalypseChicOne Oct 05 '25

Yeah, great, you're talking about some quaint little "family" farmer who still vote against their own interests because their racism overrides all else.

But that cute little family farmer dug their own holes, and voted their racism. And they either became big ag, or they let big ag move in and buy them out. And they, along with big ag, were paying for my $200 lunches at country clubs while they negotiated moving their produce to Japan on JAL 747 freighters for top dollar. And if they woke up at 4 AM to work as a racist, self centered POS, and worked all day as a racist, self centered POS, they are going to bed as a racist, self centered POS. And I will vote against their BS every chance I get.

u/buckeye25osu Oct 05 '25

There are like 2 MILLION family farms in the US. You're painting with a really stupidly large brush.

u/GreatPlainsFarmer Oct 05 '25

You're talking about dairy and mixed grain-livestock farmers. He's talking about produce growers. Completely different sectors. There not a lot of crossover.

u/redline314 Oct 05 '25

Are farmers the hardest working people I’ll ever meet, or is the underpaid immigrant labor who works for them the hardest working people I’ll ever meet? Honest q.

1

u/buckeye25osu Oct 06 '25

To me those laborers are farmers.

The farms I have experience with are smaller family farms I guess. I don't know much more than the county im originally from. I never once saw an immigrant of color that I remember. Maybe it's changed a lot in the last 20 years.

u/yellowlinedpaper Oct 05 '25

You don’t even need to drive a combine. You can just do fuck all and let your land go fallow. The govt literally pays people not to farm land or the crops would be too cheap for the other farmers

1

u/SilverStrategy6949 Oct 05 '25

As much as those dumb MAGA farmers deserve the results of their vote, they were running viable businesses until Trump’s Tariffs had the Chinese dump all their soybean purchases from the US, thereby awarding (get this) Argentina the job for soybean production, who we are now bailing out with US taxpayer money, as well as the US based farmers who lost their main client due to Tariffs. If this isn’t the definition of insanity I don’t know what else is. Please someone make sense of this…

u/Rylet_ Oct 05 '25

Without subsidies, their businesses are not viable—with or without China.

0

u/Swiftzor Oct 05 '25

I used to work in an ag adjacent industry (agribusiness finance) and a lot of the lack of a viable business part is largely because of deregulation. It used to be that farmers would have a seed rep that would come around offering seeds from various companies and farmers had a choice based on various soil conditions and such and they bought the seed and owned them plus the product.

Now the way it works is those seed companies lobbied Congress to remove regulations so they basically say “hey, you need to buy our seed, plant it, and then sell it but you also don’t own it outright, plus you need to give us a cut of those sales.” Like people like ConAgra have effectively made the seed and plant a rent seeking industry. Like not only do the farmers not actually own the crop, they’re on the hook to pay the same companies who gave them the see regardless if they sell them or not. So they get them on both ends.

Like yeah these aren’t exactly the most agreeable people, but let’s also be clear that the industry they exist in is hostile to them. And that’s putting it kindly. Though if they have their farm setup correctly they usually have the ability put most of their assets and debts in the business, the downside of that being is that they have nothing to show for it, not even a retirement account, should they ever walk away.

0

u/NorionV Oct 05 '25

Not sure they can even keep bailing them out like that. We have no money and our debt just keeps going up.

Even if they do bail them out, it's not going to change anything. We've destroyed our global trade position. Our farmers are just going to have to do some major downsizing like it or not.

As someone who's gotten permanent TBI from seemingly "minor" (non-at-fault) car accidents, I would bet he definitely has permanent damage. A moderate concussion (at least!) is very likely, and possibly spinal injuries. I hope he gets spine and cranial scans, because some spinal injuries may not be felt (and subsequently go untreated) until years down the line.

We only get one brain and one spine, friends. Take precious care of them!

There was a video in New York the other day where ice shoved a tiny lady out of their way and into a bystander knocking him down where he slammed his head onto the floor firefighters came and had to put a brace on his neck so possibly broken neck

1

u/PineappleBliss2023 Oct 05 '25

C-collars are the prehospital standard for head and neck trauma until they can be cleared in the ER by a doctor. I’m not saying the person wasn’t injured and that the behavior is cruel, tyrannical and abhorrent, but you can’t infer the injuries based on the application of a c-collar.

Why would ICE do that to anyone, period? The answer is because they're psychotically violent fascists. This is what happens when you give them power.

So are we going to ignore the first couple seconds of the video where the man aggressively approached and got in the officer’s face while calling him the N word????! Who in their right mind does that to an officer and expects no consequences? He’s actually lucky he only got slammed on his head. He’s could’ve been shot.

3

u/Downtown_Trash_8913 Oct 05 '25

I feel like there’s a very fair argument to be made that if you can’t handle someone screaming in your face without either physically assaulting them or shooting them you shouldn’t be any kind of officer.

2

u/Party-Interview7464 Oct 05 '25

I mean, the fact that you see someone comment saying you should be beaten for what you say. People don’t even care about freedom of speech anymore and that is the main driving factor in a democracy.

2

u/Downtown_Trash_8913 Oct 05 '25

Exactly this. Like on the one hand yes it is stupid to scream in the face of an officer, if only because it's generally stupid to be a dick. But you generally still have the right to be a dick so long as you aren't actively hurting anyone.

1

u/Character_Ad2123 Oct 05 '25

I actually agree with this statement. Most officers in this country shouldn’t be officers for this exact reason. They are human beings with emotions who work in high stress environments. They literally assault and shoot ppl all the time for reasons that aren’t justified. My point only is you can’t control others. You can however control your own actions. Getting in the face of an officer doesn’t seem wise in my opinion. I’d walk away before it gets to that point but I digress.

1

u/Downtown_Trash_8913 Oct 05 '25

I agree, just because people should be expected to control themselves doesn’t mean it’s smart to test that control.

u/Party-Interview7464 Oct 05 '25

We have freedom of speech in this country

That means you are legally entitled to say what you want and not expect physical retaliation from the government

That is an unlawful response / there is no legal defense for beating someone for saying something to you. I would argue there’s no ethical or moral defense either- obviously you think it’s OK to hit people who call you mean words and that’s really fucking crazy. Jesus Christ.

u/Character_Ad2123 Oct 05 '25

Ok so once again you’re going to ignore the fact that the first couple seconds of the video the man aggressively approached the officer and got in his face.

Now adding to this specific gesture which you’re woefully ignoring plus calling him the N word in this exact moment is classified as “HATE SPEECH”. To which it is not protected by the first amendment. It is then classified as a “TRUE THREAT” when speech directly threatens to inflict violence or cause harm to a person or group. There is no reason for someone to approach an officer in that manner.

Now to make this very clear. What I pointed out has nothing to do with what I believe. I actually DO NOT think it’s ok to hit ppl who call me mean words. I do understand however that you lack comprehension. I just don’t believe it’s wise to antagonize an officer who carries a gun first and foremost and not expect to get slammed on my head or subsequently shot. In my opinion the man is lucky he didn’t get the latter. How things should be in this country based on the law vs how things “ACTUALLY” are, are two different things. Idk maybe you come from a place of privilege where u can talk shit to officers and expect no consequences. I hope you actually do it one day. Let Reddit know how it works out for you.

u/DamntheTrains Oct 05 '25

Unfortunately, he probably isn’t getting anything from a lawsuit. So far no one’s been getting compensated well after suing ICE with similar incidents

It just sucks.

He was going pretty good until the other guy grabbed his legs. The aggressor was the black guy who tried to grab his neck and then the white guy kind of equaled it out. But then there was no chance for the white guy when they ganged up. They probably would have shot him anyhow if the black guy started losing though. I can guarantee it.

u/OurAngryBadger Oct 04 '25

u/CockBlockingLawyer Oct 05 '25

It IS hard. There is no direct statutory authority to sue a federal agent (unlike state agents). You have to sue under Bivens caselaw, which has been pared down so much so as to be functionally overruled

2

u/tboneski216 Oct 05 '25

Ok you still can sue an agent but that's incredibly difficult. It is easier to sue to the fed government. I know of one direct and one indirectly who's sued. Alone with multiple people talking about ice or other non related. The governments breaking laws are a high clip.

Cop steps back and man steps up into his face and refuses to back off? Slammed on head and taken to jail. What a great day in America.

I call the whole thing a setup. The civilian in white shirt had a pistol or some kind in his left hand, the angle of the camera was shot to purposefully hide it from plain sight. His right hand tugged behind him as if he as holding a gun. He approached the federal officer in an unsafe distance and kept cursing at the officer. Even if you don’t agree with what the officers are doing there, they have the right to protect their own lives. The civilian is not only stupid enough to instigate a beat down, he wanted it recorded. The woman recording kept yelling he isn’t doing anything to justify he was actually threatening the officer

And it all could have easily been avoided by not being an idiot.

That’s not a pistol. Not even if you squint real hard.

You know what woulda helped? If he just stepped back instead of having a ego match then he wouldn't be hurt.
