What they don't deserve is headlocks in the middle of the winter in the snow, being detained and taken off somewhere God knows where without your family or your friends even knowing where you are. That's not what they deserve. So Minneapolis is not going to stand by this kind of crap. We won't stand by federal agents that are conducting this kind of pathetic operation where you're consistently against the law, against the Constitution, against detaining American citizens. Again, basic law. (09:58–10:02)
