The incident unfolded Saturday in Chicago’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say federal agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade
Shocking video shows a chaotic scene on a quiet Chicago street as Border Patrol agents in tactical gear drag a 67-year-old man from his car while children in Halloween costumes look on in horror.
According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding.
The incident unfolded Saturday in the city’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say the agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade amid an immigration enforcement operation.
A tip I was given as a teenager from an old medicine man/ massage therapist: Ensure that you are only bending on one axis at a time. Most injuries that he saw occured when someone was bending and twisting thereby causing stress on multiple axes at a time. I’m 45 and by heeding this advice, I have avoided injuring myself quite a lot. Tumbling classes also helps immensely, but you kinda need those as a toddler/kid.
Oh man do I have to keep you like this in mind. Way to often I find myself doing something difficult and repetitive cantilevered out and twisted. I’ll suddenly realize it and think wtf am I doing?
Re: tumbling classes I think I got similar benefits from being bad at roller skating as a kid. I learned to fall gracefully and often, and tuck your hands close to your body so no one runs over your fingers.
