In the video, agents can be seen kneeling on the man’s back and crushing his neck. At one point the gun falls out of one of the agents’ holsters and after scrambling to grab it, he points it at the crowd of people watching and filming his brutality. His partner briefly draws his weapon and aims at the crowd, too, while the man on the ground repeatedly yells “I am American!” Talisman estimates there were about 30 witnesses gathered at the scene, with many others driving by.
After about 20 seconds, the first officer aims his gun towards the ground, with one hand resting on top of the gun and the other appearing to still be on the trigger. He remains in this position for another seven minutes. “What’re you gonna do? Shoot me?” one witness yells. “Go ahead. Shoot me.”
That’s a pretty bold thing to yell at members of a violent government agency operating with unfettered authority.
People are starting to have less and less to lose so a bullet from those fucking cowards won’t be much to fear
And the hooome of theeee braaave
“OMG there is actually a brave american!”
It may sound like I’m keyboard warrioring with this statement, but I am so over everything that this country is doing, combined with my own personal bullshit, that I would gladly take a bullet as a civilian bystander in this case. I could at least feel I’d have some fucking impact on this shit show.
It’s literally a starter pistol at that point. If the cops start shooting, there’s no reason for a good guy with a gun to hold back either. Go ahead. Take the first shot. It won’t be the last.
Ooh boy we’re getting real close to shredding these fucking magat Nazis in the streets
🤞
For reals though the vast majority of people being held at gunpoint who get shot say something like “go ahead and shoot me”.
DO NOT SAY THIS.
“You’re a traitor, Rambo”
“Your mom called and said you forgot your bullets”\Anything else, basically. Safety first.
But maybe it needs people being shot to wake the populace up. Maybe these people saying things like that are fine with that outcome. Not everyone cares or should care about “safety first” like you do.
Hey if you feel the need to be shot to wake the populace up, knock yourself out - in fact, use those words to increase the liklihood.
I’m just saying for those who are not so inclined; don’t use those words.
It worked out well for Kirk!
The last count I heard was 16 folks have been shot by ICE this year, but it’s hard to find figures.
Huh, I wonder why I haven’t heard or seen it in the news… /s
At one point the gun falls out of one of the agents’ holsters
It was tucked into his belt, which is why it fell out. A proper holster probably would have prevented the rest of what followed.
His partner briefly draws his weapon and aims at the crowd, too
I did not see that happen in the video.
After about 20 seconds, the first officer aims his gun towards the ground, with one hand resting on top of the gun and the other appearing to still be on the trigger.
After the “officer” fumbles and recovers the handgun, I saw him hold it pointed at the crowd for several seconds. He then moved it into a “low ready” position, pointing it towards the ground at a 45 degree angle away from his body. I did not see his finger on the trigger once in the remaining ~7 minutes of the video.
Carrying a firearm without a secure holster was a huge mistake. Pointing the firearm at the crowd after recovery was an even bigger mistake.
To his credit, what I saw after that was proper muzzle and trigger discipline. Without a safe place to store it, the safest thing for him to do was to keep the firearm in his hands, his finger along slide, and the muzzle aimed at the ground.
This person is clearly under trained and under equipped, I’m sure there are many like him in ICE.
Since it probably needs clarification for somebody, I do not agree with how ICE is being used by the current administration. I already has problems with a lot of the ways ICE has been used by previous administrations.
The person who yelled that has my deepest respect. It’s not a dumb thing to do: it’s disregard for your own life to achieve a greater goal.
…for some reason, i keep thinking the endgame is the library of alexeandria(back and forth arrows)the library of congress…knowledge seems to be the only disarmarmament
No one knows what the future holds but I hope AI and facial recognition follows these pieces of shit for the rest of their miserable lives and ruins any chance that they will ever get another job. Anywhere. Ever.
May every Trump regime henchman end up destitute, on the street til the day they die.
