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
Go ahead. Shoot me.
I wonder, how many people regret saying it because they’ve been actually shot. Ah, yes. None. Good line.
I mean there was this https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/what-are-you-gonna-do-stab-me
I said it once. Felt like the only option. Luckily it didn’t backfire
Kent State may disagree. It is definitely a cautionary tale. That said: good line.
4 dead, 9 more shot, no one held responsible. Greatest country on earth.
I know it’s difficult to think clearly in the moment, but I wish he had used the phone to call the local police, at the very least. Report a kidnapping.
Too bad he didn’t shoot himself in the dick.
Too small of a target.
That would make him trans?
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.
Yeah, some people also have a problem being seen stomping their own neighbours.
The idea is that they’re not put in a position to play favorites or make enemies with their neighbors.
That dumb fat bastard looks pretty soft. Pointing his gun helps him compensate for being a fascist bitch.
Being a fascist bitch is probably not the only short coming that piggy is compensating for. Lost of useless shriveled up roid-roasted nuts in ICE.
Also fairly common with cops to not live inside of their own precinct. Because nobody wants to be the neighbor who hands out tickets. I know a cop who does stand up comedy, but she specifically avoids doing any comedy inside of her own jurisdiction. Because her interactions are her standup content, and there’s a non-zero chance that the person she’s telling a story about could be in (or have friends in) the audience.
Outrageous. This is not okay.
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)
Where the fuck was he taught to tuck his gun in his belt like this? Fucking hastily trained amateurs.
ICE is directed by jan 6 insurrectionists
He had a nut to pay for
The bullets fell out of his gun, too, and he didn’t notice them on the ground the whole time he was walking around even when he stepped on them. And I don’t think he put one in the chamber before the whole debacle got underway. If shit had gone sideways and he’d pulled the trigger, nothing would have happened, I think.
I thought maybe one of the spare magazines fell out of his vest, but it looks like he has 3 before and 3 after. I think he was unarmed that whole time.
Even worse: When that gun was tucked in his belt like this, it doesn’t take much for the trigger to be accidentally pulled by a crease of his clothing or gear he’s carrying, resulting in him shooting himself in the pelvis. Also, had the suspect actually been violent there would have been a risk of him grabbing it. It was right there within easy reach.
The victim was very close to grabbing it after it fell out of the incompetent agent’s belt. I have to assume that’s what this quote is all about.
In a genuinely shocking development, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issued a statement Friday which said “The officer’s conduct in this video is unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ICE. Our ICE law enforcement are held to the highest professional standards and this officer is being relieved of current duties as we conduct a full investigation.”
Even worse
shooting himself in the pelvis
Is that worse though?
pelvis
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
You can see the magazine in his hand and if you look at the right moment the pistol has no magazine in it.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t one in the chamber.
Agreed, but still not likely. Whatever the case is, this person has no clue how to handle firearms safely in any way shape, or form.
Most modern pistols won’t fire if the magazine is ejected. Although not something one wants to figure out in the heat of the moment.
Definitely. I do think though that in his imagined scenario where there was a threat of serious bodily harm from the crowd, that “BANG click click click click” event would have been about the worst possible thing that could have happened.
I mean the whole thing was imaginary. No one in the crowd was planning to do anything other than yell at him, and he pulled the gun out just from fear. I’m just kind of highlighting an additional angle of his lack of any competency. It was only the fact that no one was trying to hurt him that kept him safe, he pretty much did everything possible to put himself in additional danger.
Edit: Oh, directing random cars to drive around a few feet away from this volatile situation was just another element of incredibly dangerous stupidity. I feel like probably he just did it because he wanted to reestablish some kind of control, to give some instructions to somebody since none of the ones he was giving were being followed and that wasn’t how he thought it was supposed to happen because he’s Billy Badass and he’s supposed to be in charge.
He also jams his gun into his pants and then immediately shoves the hand of the guy they’re restraining into the same spot.
I’m no gun expert, but that seems like a bad idea.
Looks pretty loaded to me, mate. He had a second magazine in his hand while he was trying to detain.
You are right, during the struggle it looked like there was no magazine for me. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the correction. Still kind of fucked up how he handled his firearm though.
Looks cool in movies. Probably aims his gun sideways, yo.
they got all the ‘training’ they need:
“I have to protect my people.”
not you. not ‘them’. just ‘my people’.
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.
Well, you see, I got a nut
He went for the “shoot my dick off”, appendix carry. He went for his CCW holster, and it wasn’t there.
It ended up being more like the Calvin Klein holster
If only it was a p320… 😭
That took me a second, lmao. GIT OFF MY RANGE.
Heartbreaking to hear the guy calling out for help.
I made a tool to help with this. It sends encrypted Signal alerts when ICE shows up in your area based on community reports. Honestly been struggling to get the word out because everyone thinks it’s spam, but it’s legit and people are using it. iceheadsup.com Please check it out or share with someone it could help.
Pointing a gun at someone is assault.
The state has a near-monopoly on legitimate violence.
Police in the US do lots of things that are against the law without consequences.
If it’s really bad they usually get time off with pay, as a bonus.

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!
amateurs almost gave him the gun - what an inhuman embarrassment
Only the best and brightest.
Not things to tell American law enforcements
I haven’t even clicked the link and I can tell you that the person was, for certain, white.
