Where the fuck was he taught to tuck his gun in his belt like this? Fucking hastily trained amateurs.

The gun fumble omfg, guy being kidnapped very nearly grabbed it. Then it takes 8 minutes for 4 guys to put on handcuffs and get out of the intersection!?! Reckless, untrained and dangerous for everyone around them.
Holy fuck
It’s worth watching in the video. The incompetence is a sight to behold.
The jacked-up idiot drops his gun at about 57 seconds in. Then the man he’s holding down bats it five feet away and the clown dives after it.
Such a hero

I kept waiting for his glasses to fall off.
I’m wondering if they were on the top of his head and they fell down off-frame to the granny look? I can’t remember where they were before butterfingers dropped his gun.
Why does this look like Christopher Lloyd in a comedy sketch?
Is that Anthony Fantano?!
Glad we're paying a good chunk of our salries to give these dopes 100k a year
You can see he's panicked. If he shot anybody it would have been justified because he was, in fact, scared. Bad training keeps cops out of prison.
Not only that but dumbass drops his entire mag! He needs to be fired! ___
Problem is, who is the officer? No name, no badge number, unmarked car....
This is how the riots start. Sooner or later one of these untrained ice agents will shoot a civilian because he is scared. Somebody in that crowd will shoot back....and then it begins.
They do seem to forget how the Boston massacre started, don't they?
Or one of the bystanders pulls theirs out in response to the threat
"The shot heard 'round the world", or something...
grabs popcorn
As an American, i just wanted to say fuck you.
A lot of good people are going to die. Your supposed entertainment here will be mostly poor people, and those who feel they can't stand by while evil people oppress them.

To clarify, I do not enjoy this either, but its more of a comment about the state of affairs. The fact that we've become so desensitized that everything feels unreal/surreal, the events feel almost as if it were a movie. Hence "popcorn". Its a sarcastic comment, not to be taken seriously. Its like how people laughs when something bad is about to happen, its nervous-laughter, a response to trauma. Sorry if you interpreted this comment this wrong way.

I'm also American, but I'm not white and I wasn't born here in the US, I cannot afford to intervene. I'm also being persecuted by my previous country, and I can't really put myself on the radar for two governments to come after me and my family/relatives, some of which aren't citizens yet, so I'm bit of in a "Snowden" type situation, sorry, but I can't do much. I'm afraid to go outside because xenophobes would tell me to "go home".
Forget fired, they should face criminal charges as anyone else would if they pointed a gun on someone without a reason.
So what you are saying is they are going to promote them?
That would get him shot in my state. This guy wasn't masked, but if they are masked they can be considered criminals, a criminal pointing a gun at you is 100% self defense if you shoot him. It would never go to court.
No badge is about the same, but not as blatant/clear cut. You can say you thought he was a criminal, but the issue would need to go to court. In the end he pointed his gun at bystanders so shooting at him would likely be self defense ... but how fair would the system be?
I stayed just outside of DC a couple weeks ago. I went into a run-down Dunkin and it was operated entirely in Spanish aside from the cashier knowing just enough English to take orders from people who aren't fluent in Spanish. I knew enough Spanish to be able to get my order when it was called. As I was leaving, a cop came in and started counting every brown person there. He made a big show of it, too, and people started panicking.
I honestly didn't know what to do in that situation. I was hungover as hell, broke, and had to drive 5 hours to get home so I could wake up for work the next day. I decided to just hang out and make sure the cop knew that I was watching him. I had my phone out and ready to record if more serious shit started happening. After a few minutes, the cop went back outside to his squad car and I pretended like I totally just happened to be leaving at the same time. When I blatantly eavesdropped on the cop and his buddy in the squad car outside, I heard them laughing about the whole thing. Apparently terroizing immigrants and their families is a fucking game to those bastards.
The patrons of the place cleared out immediately after the cops were gone. I stayed parked at that Dunkin for a good half an hour after everyone who could leave did and nothing else happened.
I have no idea if I should have done something more in that situation. I wanted to tell the cop to get the fuck out of there. I wanted to say some witty shit like "Oh man, I didn't order ice with my coffee."
I kinda freaked out internally when I realized what was happening but I couldn't bring myself to just leave despite my instincts telling me to. So I just made my presence and opposition to the cop known in a way that couldn't (legally) get me arrested and hoped for the best.
I drive a school bus for a semi rural city in Arkansas. A large portion of the kids that ride my bus are Hispanic. I have had nightmares about this shit since the election.
I'm a white blonde blue eye cishet man and I'm still being hit by the unabashed cruelty and evil. I just want to get off.
Oh god that's terrifying. Like what are you supposed to do as a driver in that situation? Like if ice raids your bus at goddamn red light or some shit?
I don't know. I want to believe I'll fight in the moment but I don't know what I'd do.
Does the district you work for not have any plans for that shit? You'd think they would...
Nope. There was some vague emails at the beginning of the administration about how they don't approve of ICE going to schools and wouldn't work with them but that hasn't happened yet (thankfully) and there's not really been anything else.
But we had an email basically pre warning us not to say anything bad about kirks murder on social media, so that was fun.
Damn. You'd think they'd have a plan for ICE raids...
And that's fucking infuriating that they take Kirk more seriously than ICE raids... Guess they have a "Fuck them kids" mentality. I'm not a parent and don't ever plan to be, but shit like this makes me so mad. Kids should be able to be kids and not live in fear. There's going to be generations of people who didn't have childhoods who will enter adulthood already jaded as hell. It's so sad.
Perhaps you could have done more, but you did something, and that matters in my books
Most cops are sadists or ok with other cops being sadists. The ones that aren't don't last long in that environment before they quit or get training accidented.
People need to read up on the Kent State shootings in 1970. National Guards "men" shot and killed people singing songs. 4 murdered, 9 more shot, then days later at UNM 8 students were stabbed with bayonettes.
There was an investigation, the Guard lied about being under sniper fire, most of these brave heros admitted they were scared because of rocks. No one was held responsible for a massacre of unarmed Americans.
America has a 50 year old problem of cowards with guns.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings?wprov=sfla1
And we're still talking about Kent State and UNM today as it had a serious affect on the country. But the sad part is, if something like this happened today, a third of Americans would blame the victims. Fox News would tell lies about what actually happened. And it would be swept under the rug and forgotten about by Christmas.
When it happened 80% of the country blamed the kids. We're actually much better off today then we were back then in terms of public opinion and reactions.
The lesson from Kent State is no one in this country really gave a fuck.
This kind of thing was way too common back then

Just back then? This is my first time reading this particular excerpt, but the "Black Hitlers" part sticks out. Conservative America really has been doing the same shit forever, it seems. Calling them that is in the same family as saying, "Antifa are the real fascists," etc. Just feed their target audience some shit to parrot that, to them, feels salient but really is meaningless except for redirecting blame and stoking fear and hatred.
Some of those shot weren't even protesters, they were just random students walking to class who were completely uninvolved.
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.
That dumb fat bastard looks pretty soft. Pointing his gun helps him compensate for being a fascist bitch.
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.
Yeah, some people also have a problem being seen stomping their own neighbours.
Pointing a gun at someone is assault.
Ah yes, the States. Where you have to be more scared of the police than of criminals.
I sure hope this doesn't happen over here.
Not sure where here is, but police are the same everywhere.
Nah, they are worse in the states. Yes, there are bad cops here too, one randomly pulled a gun on one of my family members at a traffic stop, but the cops here are generally better than in the states.
I don't know. I've never even seen a police officer here take their gun out of the holster, no even put a hand over it.
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".
Republicans wonder why people don't like ICE here. Wtf.
