🚨BREAKING: Law enforcement threatened to kill an unarmed 17-year-old as he was leaving an anti-ICE protest in Indianapolis.

In the video, police officers stop a 17-year-old and order him out of his car.

He calmly asks why.

Instead of answering, an officer opens the car door, grabs his arm, and says:

“I will f*cking kill you.”

An armed officer told an unarmed child he would kill him… with zero justification.

The teen looks visibly shocked and gets out of the car.

Officers then shove him against the vehicle and begin searching him.

After threatening his life, the officer tries to justify it by saying,

“He was reaching for a gun.”

The teen responds, “Who was reaching for a gun?!?”

They find no gun… because he never had a gun, and never reached for anything.

This police officer illegally threatened to use lethal force against a minor who committed no crime.

Which is exactly what happens when a government excuses, defends, and normalizes law enforcement aggression.

When officers know they won’t be held accountable, the threats get louder, the lies get sloppier, and the violence escalates.
