US immigration officers made false and misleading statements in their reports about several Los Angeles protesters they arrested during the massive demonstrations that rocked the city in June, according to federal law enforcement files obtained by the Guardian.
...
Out of nine “assault” and “impeding” felony cases the justice department filed immediately after the start of the protests and promoted by the attorney general, Pam Bondi, prosecutors dismissed seven of them soon after filing the charges.
In reports that led to the detention and prosecution of at least five demonstrators, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents made false statements about the sequence of events and misrepresented incidents captured on video.
One DHS agent accused a protester of shoving an officer, when footage appeared to show the opposite: the officer forcefully pushed the protester.
"Testilying" is an old tradition of bad and brutal cops and the ICEstapo is living down to that. The saving grace, nowadays, is that somebody is always taking video of what the cops are doing. That has been true since a BART cop murdered Oscar Grant 16 years ago.
You can bet the farm that not a single one of those lying ICE goons will suffer any consequences for their offical lies.
Sounds like the perp caused me to hit him as he was unconscious.

Reminds me of the Kent State investigation and its conclusion. "Students did willingly assault National Guard bullets with their bodies".
