So two illegals are going back because they were in a white van near a pay phone. They're fortunate, they only got the 12gauge in the face and the asphalt facial; in a month it'll be a cruise missile first, forensics later.
If this were Brinworld, the two victims would have a video safely offsite somewhere made by their Rodney King shoulder cameras, and the cops would be getting the week off without pay for rudeness. If this were Brin-dystopia, the cop car would have a camera, and once the first cop looked up the license plate and saw that there were two non-Anglo people in the generic-looking van, he'd let his partner know to leave his jacket over the camera when he got out of the car so they could beat them up.
