The text is wrong.
One officer was dragged, but none were tased, none became unconscious, and none died at the scene.

The only death was Sicknick, and that was later.

{...
On January 7, 2021, a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer, Brian Sicknick, died in a hospital the day after collapsing at the U.S. Capitol after suffering two strokes. Sicknick had responded to the attack on January 6, during which he had been assaulted with pepper spray by two rioters.
His cremated remains were laid in honor in the Capitol Rotunda on February 2, 2021, before they were buried with full honors at Arlington National Cemetery.

Within a day of his death, the U.S. Capitol Police and the U.S. Justice Department announced that his death was due to injuries from the attack.
For several weeks, several media sources incorrectly reported Sicknick had died after being struck in the head with a fire extinguisher during the unrest, citing two "anonymous law enforcement officials" as their source.
Months later, however, the Washington, D.C. medical examiner reported that Sicknick had died as a result of two strokes, classifying his death as due to natural causes,
but later commented that "all that transpired played a role in his condition".
The ruling was criticized by some expert neurologists, who argued that stress resulting from the insurrection at the Capitol may have caused the stroke.
The medical examiner found no evidence that Sicknick had an allergic reaction to the pepper spray.

Sicknick's death was investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Branch, the USCP, and the FBI.
On March 14, 2021, Julian Elie Khater and George Pierre Tanios were arrested and charged with assaulting Sicknick with a chemical spray.
They were not charged in connection with Sicknick's death. On July 27, 2022, Tanios pleaded guilty to lesser misdemeanor charges unrelated to the assault on Sicknick.
On January 28, 2023, Khater was sentenced to almost seven years in prison for assaulting two officers, including Sicknick, with a dangerous weapon

While I'll be the first to say that Columbia has no chance against the US they've made it very clear. If the US wants to declare war, so be it.

BREAKING: Colombian President Gustavo Petro defies Trump after he threatened to overthrow him like Maduro and vows to take up weapons to defend his country: "Come get me!"

This is what courage in the face of fascism looks like...

"Come get me. I'm waiting for you here," stated Petro.

"If you bomb even one of these groups without sufficient intelligence, you will kill many children," he wrote on X. "If you bomb peasants, thousands of guerrillas will return in the mountains. And if you arrest the president whom a good part of my people want and respect, you will unleash the popular jaguar."

"Every soldier of Colombia has an order from now on: every commander of the public force who prefers the flag of the US to the flag of Colombia must immediately withdraw from the institution by order of the bases and the troops and mine," he added. "The constitution orders the public force to defend popular sovereignty."

"Although I have not been a military man, I know about war and clandestinity. I swore not to ....

This doesn't mean your kids can't be vaccinated according to the existing vaccine schedule - just that Trump and RFK have thrown established science and medicine out the window.

Speak to your doctor.

“In a democracy, the people get the government they deserve” French diplomat and historian Alexis de Tocqueville

Perhaps Alexis. BUT !
The United States is not a democracy. In a democracy the electorate votes directly for their candidate of choice.
In the United States we have an electoral college. Not a democracy.

“You cannot have a moral duty to do the impossible.” George Will

Your irate criticism is enough to call attention to the issue. That's useful for those that hadn't otherwise noticed.

I've noticed.

Rather than condemnation, how about a constructive suggestion?
- The Republican party has demonstrated their partisanship trumps their citizenship.
- The Democrats might seem an obvious emergency alternative. Shall we wait until after the mid-terms? By then Canada may be the fifty-third State.

Based on what we can see in the vid ICE's story doesn't hold up.

And the vid includes the Mayor telling ICE to get the fuck out of the city.

That's an ineffectual P.R. flourish, not a serious policy effort.
The mayor should know those street-level operators have little if any command / policy authority beyond immediate incident level.
If the mayor is serious about permanently expelling ICE from the jurisdiction it must be handled at command / policy level. Gruff talk to boots on the ground accomplishes virtual zero.
