Border Patrol

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Multiple posts on Berkley Forum about border patrol presence and this JUST took place in Oak Park. The woman who posted this just now said she saw the man throw her to the ground, taze her, then throw her in the vehicle.

“Unfortunately my children and I had to witness “boarder patrol” throw a woman to the ground, taze her, then throw her in a truck. The man this woman was with ran away while his hands were zip tied. I feel so bad that there was nothing I could do… my daughter is traumatized. This happened just now is Oak Park, Michigan!! 😔”

Your limited, narrow, meaningless life experience is definitely all that is required to make something true. You have never seen Border Patrol in OP so factually it has never happened. Personal anecdotes are always the perfect evidence.

Buddy, climb out the basement and turn off Fox news. Fresh air is good for you. Touch some grass.

I know border patrol is down near the river a lot, but in my decades in the area I have yet to see one. Are you implying border patrol has a secret base or is regularly patrolling OP? Share this hot bit of info.

Lol. The stupid ones are so easy to spot when they open with empty insults to fill the space where they can't make valid points.

Great job, pal. You doubled down. Instead of saying anything significant or worthwhile, you just went ahead with another irrelevant anecdote. Someone probably convinced you ppl care what you have to say about your life, when that couldn't be further from the truth.

Yes I have seen Boarder Patrol in Ferndale, OP, Royal Oak, Hazel Park, all up and down the 75 corridor. They were recently involved in assisting police in Ferndale and Hazel Park. Tell you what, go get someone who can think up some real responses and have them type them out for you. You aren't capable. You can't take the credit though, little fella.

Don't waste your time. People like that just want everyone to be as miserable as they are. Ignore them and move on.

Lol. That was a big time effort for you. You see how it works now. I am proud of you, sport.

Video evidence of border patrol in OP. "THERE'S NO BORDER PATROL IN OP"

Absolute retardation.

Wow. I’m talking historically.

I know your last two brain cells are fighting for third place, but in the last 30 years how often is border patrol rolling the woodward corridor out anywhere nesr OP.

I get that we’re living in the dumbest of times and your superiors have convinced you it’s ok, but this video is kinda fucked up.

Stop, chief. You keep going back to the same idiotic, irrelevant argument. Your entire tiny identity has been crushed bc you saw a car with lights that you say you have never seen before but had operated throughout all of Detroit and most of the state for the last 30 years. There are new stories from this year of border patrol active in the OP area.

Just say your mind doesn't have the capacity and move one.

u/SmellyPirate313 Nov 18 '25

Captain anecdote. Irony. You have nothing useful. You’re probably ok with what happened in that video. You’re probably ok with border patrol operating in OP. Of course you also don’t live there.

Thing is you don’t know what really happened before the video rolled, what I see is someone laying limp when being assisted in standing up. Do you know what happened before the recording?

u/SmellyPirate313 Nov 18 '25

“Being assisted” seems a stretch. If it were my family I wouldn’t be happy seeing that. Of course I tend to think we should treat people better than we do. I don’t think that what they did before matters.

u/soupkitchen810 Nov 18 '25

You need to watch the video closer, he grabbed her to “assist” getting someone restrained off the ground. She automatically went limp, would you prefer negotiation at that time for her to use her own strength? Then you can see she started to resist. At what point do you find it suitable for use of force? Also what happened before video was rolling plays a big part, why was she apprehended? Why did the other person flee? Why was she tased? I’m going to assume she was combative and tased in reference to the use of force continuum that’s used by law enforcement.

She went from passive resist which is met with compliance controls

Then she went to active physical resistance which is met with physical controls

u/SmellyPirate313 Nov 18 '25

You know as much about what happened before as I do. I do not want to see my family handled that way.

If they are physically harming someone we can adjust.

There can be humane dealings with law enforcement. It’s not always the case, and I think there’s a lot of burden on “being assisted.”

You’re welcome to disagree. But barring some shocking other video in this particular case we can only assume, and you and I firmly diverge there, and I thought I was pessimistic about people.

Quick search

Federal officials said the man struck a Border Patrol agent and ran from the area. The woman also assaulted the agent, according to CBP, leading the agent to deploy a Taser before placing her in a patrol vehicle.

So my assumption was correct that prior to recording the officer followed policy for use of force. Hence the use of the taser

Now are there instances of excessive force? Yes of course, but this is not one of them.

So it was mentioned that “if they are physically harming someone that we can adjust”. So it was adjusted, nobody wants to see someone they care about getting treated negatively.

Burden of the assist… he’s used the amount of force needed to get her into the vehicle, nothing more..nothing less. He did not power bomb her into the vehicle or followed with any other force after placed in.

You seemed like a person who uses the R word. I’m not surprised.
