Brickbat: Far from the Border

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers handcufffed Carlos Estrada Barrintos and his family and forced them to the floor of their Moore, Oklahoma, home. The agents insisted Estrada was an illegal alien. He is, in fact, an American citizen, and he and family members say agents showed them a photo of the man they were looking for and it looked nothing like Estrada. But only after checking his fingerprints did agents realize they had the wrong man.

They really need to hire a better class of people.
...who probably wouldn't take the job.

[Whiterun Guard]

Those agents were just playing it cool.

[Fist of Etiquette]

He is, in fact, an American citizen...

"Do you know who I am?" Forget it, Carlos. That don't make you special. NOW GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR WHILE WE SEARCH FOR DRUGS INSTEAD.

[sarcasmic]

Reminds me of when I called the cops after someone broke into my apartment. The cops insisted that it was drug related, and they wouldn't do anything unless I let them search the place. As a matter of principle I wasn't going to let them treat me like a criminal as a condition of investigating who broke a window and climbed into where I lived, so no report was even filed. They just snickered at me and walked off. Fucking pigs. Did I ever mention that I hate cops?

[Rich]

Well, *everything* is *potentially* drug- and/or terrorism-related, and I suspect that, thanks to the Commerce Clause, everything is *actually* drug- and/or terrorism-related.

Wickard, the gift that keep on giving.

[SugarFree]

All you ?migr?s look the same to me.

That having being said -- Nice shirt, Doc!

[Groovus Maximus]

Feh. Have you ever been to Moore, Saccharin Man? It's a dump.

That ginger kid from Dif'rent Strokes is from there, it seems.

I think he was in the Nickleodon show about the campers.

Nice job, skvirrels.

Typical bigoratti nonsense from reasonoid cop haters,

[Lost_In_Translation]

Rhetorical question but do agents really think illegal aliens are so dangerous that they need to be handcuffed and shoved to the floor?

Of course...ocifer safety.,.

Is there any way we can arrange a cage fight between our beloved anonbot and this interloper?

[Jeff]

Hey, anonbot can be pretty insightful sometimes.

[LTC(ret) John]

Yeah this clown is just pure anecdotal sales pitch. He is no LimpoSimpo, and not even a Waamin.

[Heroic Mulatto]

I miss Dutch pornbot.

[Groovus Maximus]

May I remind you all that "waamin" is a Paedo-Bot?

In fact, looking over Paedo-Bot's comments, I am 99.9% sure that Pete Townsend is "waamin" (which is why ligatures are used here).

[Ted S.]

"Paedo" doesn't have a ligature. It's "P?DO" that has the ligature.

[Agammamon]

Uhm, who the fuck is Paula?

[Stormy Dragon]

It probably saw the Paula Deen post and thinks someone named Paula blogs here.

[LTC(ret) John]

"But only after checking his fingerprints did agents realize they had the wrong man."

And then they apologized, made restitution for any property damage and updated their SOPs to be more careful, right?

Oh, wait, wrong ending, the real one is "and nothing else happened".

New Professionalism.

[Yellow Journalism!]

Because it gets results!

[SugarFree]

Hey, everybody. Look who's back.

[Heroic Mulatto]

Hey, everybody. Look who's back.

...in black?

[SugarFree]

That's racist. Against Australians.

[invisible furry hand]

it made me feel othered

[LTC(ret) John]

William Randolph Hearst?

[SugarFree]

Joseph Pulitzer?

[John C. Randolph]

I'm guessing that illegal aliens are much less likely to cause me any harm than armed bureaucrats looking for them. I've never yet heard of any Mexican migrant laborer kicking in anyone's door, putting guns to people's heads, shooting their dogs, and all the other routine dick-waving that government minions do.

[R C Dean]

There are plenty of gang members in some cities that are illegals, and that is the sort of thing they do.

Mostly to each other, to be sure.

[waaminn]

Sounds like a pretty solid plan to me dude.
