Woke TN Democrat Has Viral Claim About ICE

A Tennessee lawmaker recognized for ridiculous antics tried to push a narrative that a state trooper had rammed an anti-ICE protester with a patrol vehicle during a heated confrontation in Memphis, only for the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) to release dashcam footage that clearly proved the declare false.

The alleged incident came about on Sunday when a whole lot of demonstrators took half in an “ICE Out” protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) insurance policies.

As has been the case of late, tensions escalated between protesters and law enforcement, culminating in at least one arrest—a lady charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, indecent publicity, vandalism, assault, assault on a peace officer, and obstructing a freeway. Aside from that, she was having a completely regular one. Something you may count on from a purple-haired charmer.

What actually took off, however, had been claims from Justin Pearson, a Democrat member of the Tennessee House of Representatives, who accused a THP officer of “ramming” a marshal at the protest. And by marshal, he means some rando who determined to put on a reflective security vest.

“The ramming of a marshal at a peaceful protest in Memphis by the Tennessee Highway Patrol is disturbing, dangerous, and troubling, especially in these times,” the Democrat wrote in a Facebook post. “I’ve seen enough videos and heard from enough attendees from the ICE Out march to believe that there needs to be an investigation done by TBI (Tennessee Bureau of Investigation) of the Tennessee Highway Patrol Officer’s actions.”

Pearson went on to describe the anti-ICE protesters as “angelic dissenters” and said “no officer … may abridge this right or endanger the lives of my constituents.”

Wait until you see how “endangered” this rube’s life was. How laborious he bought “rammed.”

In response to the spreading allegations—which local retailers described as going viral—THP shortly launched dashcam footage via its official Facebook web page on Tuesday. The video instantly contradicts the claims, exhibiting no ramming, hanging, or injury from the patrol vehicle.

In fact, it is so extremely absurd that it seems to be like a unhealthy low-budget comedy sketch.

“In Memphis, there are social media posts alleging that an individual was hit by a Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper,” the THP responded on Facebook. “This is false. Have a look for yourself.”

Yes certainly, have a look for your self…

Even LeBron James thinks that’s a ridiculous flop.

“We respect and protect the right of people to protest peacefully. That right, however, does not include entering active roadways or placing themselves in danger,” the post continues. “In this case, video clearly shows the individual holding onto the front of the trooper’s vehicle, lying down, then standing right back up afterwards and leaving the scene under his own power.”

“At no point does the video show the individual being run over or injured, despite the narratives circulating on social media.”

Now, some of you is perhaps questioning why make a fuss about this? Clearly, it is a unhappy attempt by somebody with the IQ of a potato to create a false narrative that he had been struck by the vehicle. It was never going to work.

Here’s why: Does anyone recall the time Democrats took one single still image of border patrol brokers on horseback making an attempt to control a crowd of unlawful immigrants and turned it into a huge scandal by accusing them of whipping people? No whipping came about, but that did not stop the media from protecting the non-existent scandal on a 24/7 news cycle, and the Biden DHS from launching an investigation and almost destroying the lives of the brokers.

Now, do you suppose that if somebody had taken a snap of this “marshal” mendacity on the ground in entrance of a patrol car, Pearson and his police-hating followers would not have used it as evidence to attempt to smash the officer? Fortunately, right here, the dashcam proves the Democrat as spreading literal faux news. But do not count on an apology forthcoming.

Pearson, as has been coated right here at PinkState, is a Democrat who time and again proves he’s keen to stoop to any degree to get consideration.

During a heated Tennessee House Criminal Justice Subcommittee assembly on gun control laws in March, Pearson charged at Republican Rep. Andrew Farmer, threatening him by getting in his face and yelling to “be taught when to shut up.” He had to be bodily restrained and escorted out of the chamber.

Pearson, you might recall, was one of the “Tennessee Three,” who led a “transurrection” in  2023, where unhinged transgender “rights” activists and gun control loons stormed the state legislature. He was one of two lawmakers expelled for his actions, only to be reinstated later on.

He would later examine his expulsion to the crucifixion of Jesus. If Pearson had his manner, he’d nearly definitely examine the half-wit who lay down in entrance of the THP vehicle to the person who stood in entrance of a column of tanks close to Tiananmen Square.
