Where the fuck was he taught to tuck his gun in his belt like this? Fucking hastily trained amateurs.

Trained? Don't they just apply, given a gun, mask, and pointed towards a brown person?
Nah, it’s not the police. These imbeciles probably bring their own guns, which is why this one dropped his.
Fucking meatheads.
This was a reference to a South Park episode btw. Worth a watch if you enjoy laughing.
He went for the "shoot my dick off", appendix carry. He went for his CCW holster, and it wasn't there.
ICE is directed by jan 6 insurrectionists
they got all the 'training' they need:
“I have to protect my people.”
not you. not 'them'. just 'my people'.
The gun fumble omfg, guy being kidnapped very nearly grabbed it. Then it takes 8 minutes for 4 guys to put on handcuffs and get out of the intersection!?! Reckless, untrained and dangerous for everyone around them.
He should have been taken down by a good guy with a gun immediately - pointing a gun at someone is a felony, and these brown coats have no training or accountability.
They're being called Brown Coats? Malcom Reynolds would be furious to learn this.
I love the Firefly reference, but I think they meant the brownshirts: Braunhemden)
Why are we not calling them, "red hats?"
Red Hats are the rank & file idiots, and also his Insurrectionists.
ICE is a whole other level. Think Brown Shirts vs Gestapo
An ICE agent pointing a gun at someone like this deserves to be fired. He basically doubled down on his own incompetency.
Problem is, who is the officer? No name, no badge number, unmarked car....
This is how the riots start. Sooner or later one of these untrained ice agents will shoot a civilian because he is scared. Somebody in that crowd will shoot back....and then it begins.
Forget fired, they should face criminal charges as anyone else would if they pointed a gun on someone without a reason.
*deserves to be shot. Like all gestapo.
That would get him shot in my state. This guy wasn't masked, but if they are masked they can be considered criminals, a criminal pointing a gun at you is 100% self defense if you shoot him. It would never go to court.
No badge is about the same, but not as blatant/clear cut. You can say you thought he was a criminal, but the issue would need to go to court. In the end he pointed his gun at bystanders so shooting at him would likely be self defense ... but how fair would the system be?
ICE isn't so tough when they're not slamming defenseless women into the ground, are they?
If they were so tough, why aren't they going after actual gang members? Not old ladies they say have "gang connections".
Believe it or not, you have gang connections too. You live on the same planet as a notorious violent gangster. DETAINED!
I stayed just outside of DC a couple weeks ago. I went into a run-down Dunkin and it was operated entirely in Spanish aside from the cashier knowing just enough English to take orders from people who aren't fluent in Spanish. I knew enough Spanish to be able to get my order when it was called. As I was leaving, a cop came in and started counting every brown person there. He made a big show of it, too, and people started panicking.
I honestly didn't know what to do in that situation. I was hungover as hell, broke, and had to drive 5 hours to get home so I could wake up for work the next day. I decided to just hang out and make sure the cop knew that I was watching him. I had my phone out and ready to record if more serious shit started happening. After a few minutes, the cop went back outside to his squad car and I pretended like I totally just happened to be leaving at the same time. When I blatantly eavesdropped on the cop and his buddy in the squad car outside, I heard them laughing about the whole thing. Apparently terroizing immigrants and their families is a fucking game to those bastards.
The patrons of the place cleared out immediately after the cops were gone. I stayed parked at that Dunkin for a good half an hour after everyone who could leave did and nothing else happened.
I have no idea if I should have done something more in that situation. I wanted to tell the cop to get the fuck out of there. I wanted to say some witty shit like "Oh man, I didn't order ice with my coffee."
I kinda freaked out internally when I realized what was happening but I couldn't bring myself to just leave despite my instincts telling me to. So I just made my presence and opposition to the cop known in a way that couldn't (legally) get me arrested and hoped for the best.
I drive a school bus for a semi rural city in Arkansas. A large portion of the kids that ride my bus are Hispanic. I have had nightmares about this shit since the election.
I'm a white blonde blue eye cishet man and I'm still being hit by the unabashed cruelty and evil. I just want to get off.
Perhaps you could have done more, but you did something, and that matters in my books
Most cops are sadists or ok with other cops being sadists. The ones that aren't don't last long in that environment before they quit or get training accidented.
People need to read up on the Kent State shootings in 1970. National Guards "men" shot and killed people singing songs. 4 murdered, 9 more shot, then days later at UNM 8 students were stabbed with bayonettes.
There was an investigation, the Guard lied about being under sniper fire, most of these brave heros admitted they were scared because of rocks. No one was held responsible for a massacre of unarmed Americans.
America has a 50 year old problem of cowards with guns.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings?wprov=sfla1
And we're still talking about Kent State and UNM today as it had a serious affect on the country. But the sad part is, if something like this happened today, a third of Americans would blame the victims. Fox News would tell lies about what actually happened. And it would be swept under the rug and forgotten about by Christmas.
When it happened 80% of the country blamed the kids. We're actually much better off today then we were back then in terms of public opinion and reactions.
America has. 250 year old problem of cowards with guns
Per the article, these are Florida asssholes in Maryland. Sounds like wannabe slave catchers to me.
Apparently that's a tactic, using soldiers - I'm sorry, "agents," domestically you have to move them to a different location or they get soft.
Another day in Nazi America.
Ah yes, the States. Where you have to be more scared of the police than of criminals.
I sure hope this doesn't happen over here.
Heartbreaking to hear the guy calling out for help.
Nth tale from a fascist country.
And make no mistake:, fascist countries are like that because they're inhabited by fascist people.
Fuck ICE. Nazi bastards.

Wait who is the terrorist organization again? It's these guys right? Right?
Go ahead. Shoot me.
I wonder, how many people regret saying it because they've been actually shot. Ah, yes. None. Good line.
Who'd have guessed that fascist trash is incompetent?
It's literally the South Park episode.
I've seen drunk teenagers more eloquent and confident than this guy.
You know, where I'm at, that is a chargeable offense.
