We all know the impact a still photo can have. Think of Sen. Chuck Schumer posting the photo President Trump didn't want you to see: demolition work being done on the East Wing of the White House. That picture went viral thanks to the Democrats, even though Trump wasn't hiding anything. Workers were clearing the land for the construction of the new White House ballroom.
Someone managed to capture a perfectly framed photo of ICE barbarians putting a restaurant worker in a headlock.
ICE in Charlotte. The guy in the headlock is a restaurant worker. Barbarians. pic.twitter.com/CbR4N1YuJQ

Don’t bring a knife to your arrest, maybe

Yeah, there are some proposed Community Notes to go with the original photo: "Border Patrol is controlling the suspect with force because he is holding a knife in the picture."

Oh no. A restaurant worker? Suspend the constitution and our laws, I guess. https://t.co/5ZLz9yXHUl

Was he an illegal alien restaurant worker? Did he resist arrest? And what's with the knife clutched in his hand?
That’s what an arrest usually looks like.

We asked them to go home nicely. Even offered money.

Should have taken the ticket home

An illegal who apparently fought back. He deserved it.

Why is he resisting? Seems like he needed to go if he’s the kind of person who is going to forcefully resist law enforcement when they are correctly arresting him for violating the law.

I hope they also arrested the restaurant owner.

A lot of people are saying no, that's the shadow from the Border Patrol officer's sleeve. Either way, the guy was obviously resisting arrest.
God i love this picture!
