3yo, playing with a toy tea set: Here's your tea Dad! Me: *sips* His (Mormon) great grandma: It's hot chocolate here 🙂 3yo, not acknowledging her but not missing a beat: How was your hot chocolate, dad? Grandma, here's some hot chocolate for you!

So ICE caused a traffic jam, started their raid right in front of the traffic jam, and then attacked the people stuck in traffic who were angry about the whole thing and recording it on their phones. People sometimes have a hard time understanding that police start the violence, but come on
