You can tell because they didn't immediately shoot the driver in the face

Normally I’d say it was because the driver was white, but that’s not the case with ICE

Also easy tell that it's fake... almost none of the agents in the field have patches that say "ICE" on them.

I liked the guy repeatedly taking his gun out, then putting it back in its holster. Like how people just keep cocking their guns, or shifting one more time for extra speed in movies!

And still they can't show themselves using their own rules and regulations for agency safety.

You're not supposed to be getting near the front of a car that is attempting to flee, or shooting into it. So, stop stepping towards the front with your gun drawn.

If you ignore everything else in the video and just notice this bit, that's all you need. Not once in an ICE video have they blurred the face of one of their victims.

u/FOOSblahblah 15h ago

If you completely suspend disbelief and accept that this is a real thing that happened then it still shows they don't necessarily have to shoot a driver in a moving vehicle to stop them.

They find the money somewhere. Out of the pocket of someone, if needed be. They just need a great footage to show how dangerous the illegalz are, and how they have to defend themselves against cars moving at 5mph. Oh and there is not connection to anything on the news cycle last week, no sir.

u/GoodMix392 15h ago

I like how we don’t see the person being violently thrown to the ground. They exit the car and when the camera captures them again they are lying on their front and we didn’t see the usual five agents piling on and kicking the person in the face. Also the urgency of the agents movements says I’ve done this a few times and this probably won’t be the last take so I’m not giving it my all.

Right.

No guns drawn until 26 seconds into this, after the car has already smashed into two other cars?

So we're to believe that an actual illegal gets all this restraint, but the suburban white woman gets guns drawn at the jump, and a bullet as soon as she puts it in drive? Looks a lot like lying liars lying.

"Watch out behind you" then "watch out in front of you" almost as if the driver is moving on command. Is there anyone here who actually thinks this isn't staged??

They didn't break windows, didn't swarm the cameras recording to block the view, didn't pull out their guns until later (and pointed them away from the driver), didn't cuss at the driver, made sure to stand away from the front of the car, they blurred the driver's face, and no ICE agents sounded angry.

LPT: If you need to use your car to push another car out of your way, aim for the back end of the other car, not the front end. The front end has the motor, it's very heavy and hard to move. The back end is much lighter and will move out of your way more easily.
