This story is crazy. It sounds like a federal officer can do virtually anything they please to the public but state and local law enforcement must walk on egg shells. Makes you wonder why Pelosi is expanding the capitol police to far-flung parts of the country.
This is completely false. I am a Border Patrol Agent and I can not even tackle someone who runs from me without being investigated. They will not even charge people who assualt Border Patrol agents because “they were only trying to avoid arrest”. Some agencies may get away with using force, but if you are a Border Patrol Agent one better be doing everything by the book.
