We all know things are going from bad to worse, especially with ICE gaining more power to do whatever they want in the country. While some were already kidnapping people in broad daylight and wrongfully arresting legal citizens, they are now starting to attack people without identifying themselves. One of these situations occurred this week inside a Walmart in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where a group of unidentified ICE agents tackled and tased a man, then quickly asked the person who was recording to leave the establishment and stop filming.
Well-known Redditor CantStopPoppin shared the shocking clip of a group of ICE Agents tasing a man inside a Walmart in Albuquerque. While there’s a lot of commotion in the clip, you can clearly hear the man screaming, “¡Ayuda!” Which translates to “Help!” Once he falls on the ground after being tased, he starts saying, “Don’t do this to me.” Soon after, the alleged ICE agents and what seems to be Walmart staff arrive to tell the one filming, “Get back to work. You need to leave. This is private property.”
What is alarming is that this man posed no threat to those around him. Furthermore, bringing three agents to deal with one person was overkill, and using a taser was even worse. And if that wasn’t enough, it seems that the Walmart staff was okay with this behavior inside the store.
As you can imagine, a lot of Redditors were angry about the situation and also shared not-so-friendly thoughts regarding this Walmart in Albuquerque, which apparently joined the boycott list.
“Frankly, unless Walmart corporate absolutely guarantees this won’t happen again, I’d just say assume all Walmarts are dangerous fascism sympathizing zones.” – RogerianBrowsing via Reddit.
“Conflicting positions from Walmart after that full page ad slamming the Big Bullsh*t Bill (No Kings) by the matriarch of the company, and now buy in with helping ICE Hunt customers.” – AlliedR2 via Reddit.
“Time to add Walmart to the boycott list.” – FrederickDerGrossen via Reddit.
It is sad to see that no one is safe in the country anymore. While it is uncertain what the man’s citizenship status was, these actions are terrible and shouldn’t happen anymore. Unfortunately, ICE will only gain more power in the coming days, so we should all brace for the imminent domino effect.
