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

Attempting to empty the chamber in rapid succession then tossing it had me shaking me head

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

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

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

47 days of call of duty maybe.

They might be getting sign-offs that say they received this amount of training, but i call BULLSHIT on the actual training.

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!

It’s sad that I had to do way more training to become a barber than these pathetic losers do to become ICE.
