The officer apparently tried to tuck a gun into his pants instead of using a holster, failed, dropped the gun, and menaced bystanders in response to his own failure
isn’t losing his gun like that a serious internal offence as well?
This is ICE, so it is unlikely there’s anything internal.
Hahaha fair, but imagine that was the FBI or something. Pretty sure losing control of your gun like that is very bad and can result in discipline?
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.
Oh god that’s terrifying. Like what are you supposed to do as a driver in that situation? Like if ice raids your bus at goddamn red light or some shit?
I don’t know. I want to believe I’ll fight in the moment but I don’t know what I’d do.
Does the district you work for not have any plans for that shit? You’d think they would…
Nope. There was some vague emails at the beginning of the administration about how they don’t approve of I’ve going to schools and wouldn’t work with them but that hasn’t happened yet (thankfully) and there’s not really been anything else.
But we had an email basically pre warning us not to say anything bad about kirks murder on social media, so that was fun.
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.
Perhaps you could have done more, but you did something, and that matters in my books
Martyrs only work with a population that gives a shit.
If someone dies to ICE shooting them to become a martyr, they just become a statistic, because Americans dont give a shit apparently.
See, the point on full display here is that the ICE isn’t allowed to or aren’t stupid enough to shoot protestors. Anybody who thinks the worst that can happen when confronting an angry mob is some broken windows has obviously never read any history books: entire towns can be burnt to the ground if things escalate.
There is no martyr because shooting one of them is the dumbest shit they could possibly do. The ICE show up with their military fetishism gear to intimidate you, but that’s all it is. It’s them playing dressup. They’re not authorized to use those guns unless their life is in danger, and when they do use those guns then their life will be in danger.
“Law Enforcement” in the US doesn’t things they’re not authorized to do all the time and rarely face consequences. That fuck who murdered George Floyd was SHOCKED when he got arrested for it.
“Cops dont face consequences.”
*Cites cop who faced consequences.
Cops “rarely face consequences” (direct quote from my comment)
*Cites rare instance cop faced consequences
Who’d have guessed that fascist trash is incompetent?
Heartbreaking to hear the guy calling out for help.
Too bad he didn’t shoot himself in the dick.
Too small of a target.
That would make him trans?
Wait who is the terrorist organization again? It’s these guys right? Right?
Fascist scum
Republicans wonder why people don’t like ICE here. Wtf.

“Top Men” on the job.
More like bottoms… but … what’s the pronoun for someone that isn’t accepted by the human race, period?
Nazi scum

Man that big ole smile he gets being able to touch a man and have an excuse for why he is doing it.

Limp dick Gestapo brained pieces of shit.
amateurs almost gave him the gun - what an inhuman embarrassment
Fucking children…
No, that’s the gov.
These folk are just protecting the gov (and kill random folk, beat everyone, even fuck children, but that’s not the point)./s (well, I mean, I wish)
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.
Why are we not calling them, “red hats?”
Because they don’t wear them. They’re all in Tacticool™ camo.
Red Hats are the rank & file idiots, and also his Insurrectionists.
ICE is a whole other level. Think Brown Shirts vs Gestapo
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: Braunhembden)
I did! My bad, got firefly mixed up with brown shirts.
Either one is too kind a term. I call them dipshits, cowards, nazis, incels, mall cop bitches.
The Sturmabteilung (colloquially “Braunhemden”) were literally the paramilitary nazi force. Calling them brownshirts is equivalent to calling them Nazis.
I dont think calling them nazis actually bothers them.
I’m just pointing out that “brownshirt is too nice, I’ll call them nazis” is redundant because brownshirts are Nazis.
Most responsible gun owners understand why shooting this guy in this moment would be a huge mistake and are devoting an outsized chunk of their patience to tolerating the people demanding to know where was the good guy with a gun was.
If you think I’m genuinely suggesting “a good guy” start a fire fight perhaps I need to be less ambiguous.
I was being hyperbolic - I think ICE is Nazi scum and deserves to die, but I understand that this man being shot in the moment is not the answer.
I just wish it were - he catches a round for his Nazi scumbaggery (and all his friends too), and then everyone just moves on like nothing of value was lost, because it wasn’t.
Reminds me of that serial killer in China who targeted cops in their own homes. They never caught him. I hope that doesn’t start happening here. Wouldn’t that be terrible?
ICE are going to have to wear those bacon burkas for the rest of their lives. It’s their new skin. All for a bonus and a down-payment on a McMansion that they’re going to default on in 5 years.
Alright then, I understand what you mean. And tbh I tend to agree on an emotional level. It’s just that “He should have been taken down by a good guy with a gun immediately” doesn’t exactly communicate that nuance, ya know?
More than fair, I’ll try to be clearer in the future when engaging in hyperbole.
There are no good guys with guns in Maryland, the state restricted that right away from most citizens.
