How a normal person would handle this passenger saying he can't get out:

👮🏻‍♂️: Please exit the vehicle.

🧔🏿‍♂️: I can't.

👮🏻‍♂️: Why not?

🧔🏿‍♂️: The inside door handle jammed when the driver crashed. Can you open it using the outside handle right in front of you? I'll happily exit the vehicle.

👮🏻‍♂️: If this door is jammed, then why don't you go out the other door then?

🧔🏿‍♂️: Um... you are holding my wrists?

👮🏻‍♂️: Ah! So if I let go of your wrists, you can use the other door?

🧔🏿‍♂️: Correct.

👮🏻‍♂️: Or if I open the door for you, you can get out?

🧔🏿‍♂️: Correct.

👮🏻‍♂️: Or if I let you open it from the outside for yourself?

🧔🏿‍♂️: Correct.

👮🏻‍♂️: Thank you for the explaining!

Watch the video again.

Did you notice him trying to say that the inside handle was jammed?

Did you notice him trying to tell the other cop that he could use the other door?

Did you notice him try to open the door from the outside handle?

Did you notice that as soon as the door opened, he exited?

The victim is being charged with obstructing justice and resisting arrest. The door and the violent cop were obstructing him.🤡

You might be wondering how you can resist arrest when there is no underlying basis to be placed under arrest. Being a passenger is not a crime.

ICE raids and unlawful detention are new for everyone else. I've had to deal with this my whole life.🤷🏿‍♂️

More than 100X as many Black men a month will have an experience like this, than people being mistreated by ICE. Not a typo. One hundred times more innocent people harmed like this, even though both populations are about the same size, ~50M Black people, and ~50M immigrants.

But people will still hop on here to say both: "ICE is terrible!" and "Woke 1 went too far!"🤡

Ignoring the first problem, is what gave us the second one.

@mekkaokereke I haven't checked what anybody even means by "woke 1" and I'm pretty sure I don't want to, I've just tuned it out along with dudes who want to debate which wave of feminism went too far.
