L.A. ICE Protests
Bystander Body-Slam …
Protester Pounded After Chucking Can at Cops!!!
Published
The L.A. ICE protests have seen ongoing chaos this week — but one jaw-dropping moment is stealing the spotlight … a protester getting body-slammed in a violent clash against a cop.
Catch this wild clip — a protester’s doing a little dance in front of sheriff’s deputies in full riot gear … he hauls off and hurls a can at one deputy, and they immediately retaliate with tear gas — just as he turns to run, a random guy comes flying in with a flying tackle and body-slams him like it’s WWE.
🚨”Jesus you just hit me!” our reporter @TinaDesireeBerg shouts as LA County Sheriff officers hit her with “less lethal” ammunition. “I got hit by a less lethal, I’m OK, that’s what the Kevlar’s for…it didn’t penetrate anything.”

The guy who stuck the body slam doesn’t look like a cop — but social media’s convinced he’s undercover — ‘cause that was one hell of a takedown in the aid of authorities.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the suspect was arrested and booked — he’s currently sitting in the nearby L.A. County Jail.
It was a wild scene — you can even hear a Status Coup News reporter saying she got hit with a “less lethal” ammunition round in the clip.
With even reporters taking hits, it’s clear this isn’t just a protest anymore … it’s turning into a battlefield.
