I feel like hackernews has been getting astroturfed by the same people that ruined reddit. Over the past few months, there have been increasingly one sided political stories and comments. It's a shame.

Obstructing a federal officer. Watch the video. Any average citizen would be arrested and detained.
I've watched the video several times.

yes, ICE thugs would probably behave equally lawlessly towards any civilian challenging them for a warrant. that doesn't make what happened less horrifying.
Your choice of words reveals a lot. Don't manipulate words to serve your conclusion.
They are not "thugs". They are federal officers.
ICE did not behave "lawlessly". They are upholding federal law. In fact, it was Brad Lander who acted lawlessly.
This constant manipulation of words is tiring. I don't find what happened "horrifying" at all. Anyone impeding the law should face its consequences.
what on earth "other side" could there be to unidentified secret police arresting politicians of the opposite party
