Sigh... it bears repeating: imagine if a Democrat had pulled that shit today in a congressional hearing. Every major newspaper editorial board in the country would be calling for their resignation, and Jake Tapper, through tears, would spend a chunk of his show asking what our country has become.

DOJ has charged Wilber Garcés with felony assaulting, resisting, or impeding a federal officer, based on the allegation he struck an ICE officer with his sideview mirror when driving off after the initial traffic stop. He was then chased for 8 minutes, rammed, and then shot.

The mirror appears to be very slightly in contact with his waist.Image 3: the agent has pulled his hips back and the mirror is no longer touching the agent.
