I don't give shit. Making an arrest.

You fucking Nazi! Get your fucking hands off,

you coward! [cuffs sliding]

We're good. Making an arrest.

[demonstrators cross talking]

We're conducting an arrest! The border!

We're good? Fuck you!

[agents mumble in Spanish]

Fuck you, pig! I'll put it right here.

Give it to my brother- Get down. Get down.

You good, bro? [whistles blaring]

[Protester] Fuck you!

Fuck you! Yeah, you too, you fucking piece of shit!

You can go that way. [demonstrators clamoring]

Fuck you! What the fuck?

[Agent] Go ahead, dude. Go ahead, get in here.

[whistles blaring] Go ahead, get back.

Don't hurt yourself. [taunting continues]

Get back. I was in law enforcement.

You're a fucking coward. Get back, kid.

Fuck you! [demonstrators chanting]

[over loud speaker] Hey, nobody's in that

vehicle, so back up, back up.

All right, let's back up. [horn honking]

Watch out. No, we got somebody, back here.

Standby. [horn continues honking]

[distant shouting] Watch out with this guy,

he wants to fight.

[Agent] Hey, it looks like we're blocked in

from both sides. [equipment buzzing]

[demonstrators shouting grows louder]

Take a sidewalk, if you can.

In the middle lane. Hold on. Standby.

You're good. Okay. Hold on.

[buzzing continues] Hey,

we're blocked in, so [indistinctly] are refusing to move.

[dispatch replying] All right, fucking

here we go. Hold on. Standby.

Stay in the vehicles, for now.

Okay. [activists clamoring]

You okay? Yep.

Hey. They won't arrest you, now.

[dispatch replying indistinct]

[Dispatch] Yeah, it sounds crazy,

and just that they're not moving at all.

[police radio squawking]

[agents mumble through masks] You got gas?

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Grab one. [agent replying indistinctly]

[materials squeaking] [radio chatter continues]

Whoa! [participants clamoring]

Fuck you! [materials continue squeaking]

[whistles continue blaring]

[demonstrators continue shouting]

Careful! [whistles blaring]

[Cop] If you would like to move back, it would be great.

[activists continue taunting] Fucking outta the way, now!

[driver faintly speaking] Hey! Hey!

Move it! Can't do shit!

Who is? [shouting drowns out]

[protesters hurling taunts] Motherfucker!

Move! Yeah!

Fucking. Move move move!

You see the vehicle moving towards you, move!

Yeah. I fucking see it. Then move outta the way.

Fucking Nazi, man. Fuck you! Move outta the way. You.

[Protester] Fuck you! Get outta here, you fucking.

Move outta the way, ma'am. Hey, do not touch her!

Move outta the way! Do not touch her.

I'm telling you. Do not touch her.

Get outta the way. Do not touch her!

Get outta the way! Do not touch her!

I'm telling her. Get outta here.

[Agent] I'm trying to protect her from getting run over.

Get outta here, you liar!

Stay! Everybody stay! Move outta the way.

[whistle blowing] Move it outta the way, again.

Move back! Move outta the way, that way.

Move it! Get outta the way!

How's it feel, huh? How's it feel to be a pussy, huh?

Yeah. Get back. Get back!

[Activist] Yeah. Everybody want to talk to the police.

Man, fuck yeah! All kinds of people.
