They say "stop resisting" while the woman is sobbing. This is not a good look for the police officers.

I'm not sure what the end game is here:
The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office. The video was obtained by Gothamist, which earlier reported the confrontation.
“You’re harboring rioters in the office,” the federal agent, whose name tag and officer number are not visible in the video, says to a member of Mr. Nadler’s staff.
There were no riots reported on Wednesday at the federal building on Varick Street, though protesters and immigrant rights advocates gathered inside and outside the building earlier in the day. The immigration court is on the fifth floor and Mr. Nadler’s office is on the sixth.
- This video needs to be used by every attorney in every case ever brought by these officers to discredit their testimonies
- They’re intimidating him through his staff because he doesn’t agree with their bullshit
The agents entered Mr. Nadler’s office because they had been told that protesters were there and were concerned for the safety of his staff members, according to a statement on Saturday from the Department of Homeland Security.
Ffs
That leaves even a member of Congress with little recourse, he said.

  I realize and appreciate that. There are other reasons for providing an alternative.
No statement from Nadler yet but he's 77 and its late in the day. And it was just one of his staff. So.
