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.

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.

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.
