Honestly, the whole thing is darkly comic. He shifts from threatening (“Your corporal doesn’t mean shit to me” “Are you Haitian?”) to almost crying while asking for special treatment because we’re supposed to be allies, brother. Honestly if I had been the cop, I would have been extremely tempted to reference his initial behavior on the stop when explaining why he wasn’t getting any special friendly kid gloves “we’re all law enforcement” treatment. I do think staying professional about it and trying to actually build some sympathy was probably the right call, but I don’t think I would have been super nice about any of it after that point.

As a broader point I would really encourage ICE to keep doing this kind of thing, trying to bully other law enforcement agencies and tear-gassing the police in Chicago. You don’t need any kind of support from anyone guys, you’re not embedded into a wider society and it’s not at all important what kind of narrative nuggets penetrate into the public consciousness to make it clear to everyone what a piece of shit you are. No one can touch you. Just do whatever you want to everyone, it’ll be fine.
