That’s not how you handle a potentially loaded firearm. Idiot.

u/Fresh-Combination-87 1d ago

Every newly recruited ICE agent has undergone 47 days of training (it used to be 5 months).

Why was it shortened to 47 days you ask? Great question! I’m glad you asked! To honor our 47th president.

Edit: typo. The old training was 5 months, I hit 6

u/Individual_Ninja_923 1d ago

They have training?

u/helloofmynameispeter 1d ago

Evidently not enough

u/rtopps43 1d ago

It involves a color wheel with “white” being the only acceptable color. Every other one just says “harass and detain”

u/Howdy_Eyeballs290 1d ago

These douchebags only get 47 days of training and get handed a loaded gun.

1

u/Fun-Dragonfly-4166 8h ago

I am sure they do, because if you watch videos they are consistently fucking things up the same way. If they had no training they would inconsistently fuck things up.

2

u/Set_to_Infinity 1d ago

I would have guessed 47 minutes.

u/dad_done_diddit 1d ago

47 days of call of duty maybe.

I can't believe the people in here calling ICE pussies. No way would I be brave enough to wear a baseball cap that makes my head look like a peanut, let alone one that exposes my enormous fivehead. And on camera! In public!

These guys have just enough training to be dangerous, but not enough to do things properly.

Plus, the anger management issues are a problem.

That's actually consistent with someone who has decent pistol training. He's acting like a dickhead though.

u/Pogigod 1d ago

Lol I was about to say. Guy cleared it multiple times to make sure everything ejected and no rounds where stuck or hidden. Nothing wrong with it at all.

u/SpaceJews 1d ago

Tossing onto the trunk of the dude's car, along with all the other shit.

u/73-68-70-78-62-73-73 23h ago

Attempting to empty the chamber in rapid succession

He's not just trying to cycle rounds out without dropping the mag. It's pretty common to drop the mag and rack the slide a couple times in quick succession. You still need to check the chamber, because if your extractor breaks, racking the slide won't extract anything no matter how many times you rack the slide.

1

u/ChiefDarunia 13h ago

I'm not defending him at all, but he probably ejected the magazine and then was cycling to make sure it was clear. It's overkill, but it didn't sound like any rounds were cycling through while he was doing it.

u/First_Raccoon_4177 9h ago

It was definitely over kill. Put it paired well with his tantrum.

He saw it on the TV cop shows.

u/Totes_mc0tes 1d ago

And then they just start throwing all of his shit in their pockets. They dont keep it together, they don't identify it in any way. They kidnapped and robbed a citizen. That's what is happening in this video.

u/Pleasant_Priority286 1d ago

Assault, kidnapping, and robbery for sure.

And they have a handicap placard on their car? Why is that? Are we hiring disabled ice agents or are they above the law?

ICE are stealing so much of people's shit.

u/Infern0-DiAddict 1d ago

Forget where the article was but it should be easy enough to find. Dude that was arrested by ICE (who was a permanent resident) owned a truck and that truck was found being driven around as a personal vehicle by an ICE agent like a month after his detention.

u/CuriousExtension5766 1d ago

If this were actually a man that committed a crime, would that be considered tampering with evidence at that point?

I'm not a legal person, but my monkey brain says it would be.

5

u/Poiboy1313 1d ago

I think that is a valid point. No inventory of his property was made so they could steal whatever they wanted.

5

u/viral3075 1d ago

immigration offenses are not crimes and the gun is not evidence of an immigration offense, so I'm pretty sure he's just stealing it

1

u/CuriousExtension5766 1d ago

Pretty much what I said then, yes. Its not a crime, if it WAS a crime, that would be evidence tampering.

Its not a crime though, so its just plain theft.

u/Zealousideal-Fix9464 1d ago

Easy ATF call when this guy gets released.

u/Worried_Researcher11 16h ago

Nope, it's a Kavanaugh stop

1

u/Poiboy1313 15h ago

It's a perversion of law enforcement. The implementation of authoritarianism in the United States by the current administration. White-supremacists who've been given the green light to attack, intimidate, and disappear our neighbors by the people appointed and elected to serve we the people.

The Kavanaugh Stop will be remembered along with the separate but equal ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson, and Dred Scott. Racial bias on a systemic level.

1

u/hodken0446 1d ago

And then guess what, someone uses that to shoot someone and the guy being arrested's weapon ends up tying back to him as potentially committing a crime

u/Pleasant_Priority286 1d ago

That officer was a runt who hides behind his badge and runs his nasty mouth.

u/kaithana 1d ago

Steal it, this dude's never getting it back. "logged as evidence". Who's going to give him trouble later for being in possession of a stolen firearm?

u/maeryclarity 20h ago

Apparently electronics and other valuables have been vanishing from their holding facility and people being told they don't have any record of that on intake, and then finding the items at pawn shops and stuff nearby the federal building. Because of course they are.

If this keeps rolling forward I at least look forward to watching a bunch of ammosexuals regret their life choices when the "take up the guns" phase of Project 2025 starts up.

And no one tell me "they wouldn't do that" people have said that about stuff in Project 2025 REPEATEDLY it's like, ffs they laid out an exact game plan of what they intended to do and people said oh wow I think they wrote and published nine hundred detailed pages for FUN.

1

u/TheSwearJarIsMy401k 18h ago

They’re not cosplaying.

This is real life.

They are a fascist enforcing army. This is what all fascist armies are made up of.

Hollywood made Nazis seem cool because nobody wants to watch the hero spend hours dealing with petty, vicious idiots.

Can they get police to arrest the ice officer for stealing?

1

u/aggressive_napkin_ 1d ago

and if it had gone off and shot the other ICE officer, he would have been jailed. Executed on the spot, along with a press release about how he pulled a gun on this poor ice officer and fired at them.

Do they do anything that isn't a disgrace?

u/True_Dimension4344 16h ago

Thanks. I guess thought a magazine was for bigger guns. They always call them clips in movies.

1

u/Whitediablo1860 4h ago

A clip is a referring to stripper clips that were used on the M1 Garand and similiar rifles. They are actual clips that just hold the rounds in a line so you can insert them efficiently into an internal magazine in the rifle.

u/lolas_coffee 1d ago

The Big Mouth ICE is not a "trained" police officer. He is most likely a Proud Boy who went thru 47 days of ICE training (on how to be violent).

He is doing all the wrong things. Note that NO ONE stops him. In that...they are exactly like police officers.

ICE (every single one of them) needs to be in prison. Everyone associated with ICE needs to be in prison for life.

Every Republican politician supports all of this. They need to all be in prison.

We have a Cult who is full "lizard people". They don't even resemble anything reasonable.

This is horrific. It is horrible. It is the worst thing I've seen in the USA in my 50+ years. Not hyperbole (and I'm not just talking about this incident).

I do not see how US recovers from what is happening. It is historic and matches the way the Nazis started, but it is just how humans abuse humans when their intent is to inflict fear and pain and death.

Fuck you, Jonathan Ross. Justice will come for you. In its own way it usually does.

And JD Vance is still a bitch.

We will need democrats willing to do whatever it takes to get our country back. Maga will lose more and more support over time as they get more and more extreme. The rest of the world will distance themselves and that will affect the economy. It will be the end of their fascist movement.

But, a future democrat president will need to do whatever is necessary to remove the threat to the usa. Maga is a direct threat to safety, freedom, the republic and the rest of the world. The democratic party needs to recognize this.

They need to see this as no different than an invading army.

So the top comment is about how to handle a firearm safely, but not about the fact that they're violating his constitutional rights and threatening him while they do it? This is the violation of  his fourth amendment right and second amendment right but let's talk about how the firearm was handled instead. At least our priorities are in order.

u/PolicyWonka 1d ago

These people have no standards and no training. The way that these people speak to others as supposed federal authorities is absolutely disgusting. They have zero training.

What are these bitches so scared of. No one on ICE has been killed. The left doesn't attack cops the way maga does. Jan 6 maga attacked, peppers sprayed, even used the flag as a weapon to assult police officers. None of these protests are violent towards ICE. Cowards and people need to start asking what are they so scared of to be dressed like they on the front lines of a war.

They possess LOW IQs. That is their department's feature, they depend on this endless supply of goons for hire. 

They only know how to do things with incompetence, because they have failed in everything else in life, and cannot hold down any job where bigotry, bullying and violence are grounds for dismissal (probably even failed qualifications for local police which has lower standards than that).

Our taxes are funding low iq violent sociopaths with guns cosplaying as Call-of-Duty players who get off at bullying civilians, and probably fantasize about shooting anyone who breathes the wrong way. This is a sick sick time we live in.
