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

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: 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.
ah, good point.
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
Because they don’t wear them. They’re all in Tacticool™ camo.
There are no good guys with guns in Maryland, the state restricted that right away from most citizens.
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.
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.
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.
