Ring footage shows an agent pulling his gun on her, after which he shoves her down multiple times, pushes her back into house & slams the door.

All because she was asking for proof of a warrant. They refused to even give their names & badge numbers.

    I’m not understanding how somebody in a mask who isn’t presenting a badge can brandish a gun and shove somebody on their property without themselves being shot.

      I guess some people are not in the “I will die but I’m taking you with me” mindset all the time.

    He refused to identify himself and then assaulted the resident. Why is the news calling him an “agent?” These guys don’t have badges, don’t wear uniforms, drive in unmarked vans and wear masks. They don’t know WTF they are.

    Looks to me like a group of kidnappers.

      Good point. Could literally be vigilante militias. It at least merits an “alleged” or “purported” before “agent.”

    This country is falling apart all so a bunch of racist conservatives can feel like they got revenge for Hollywood teasing them. The pain most conservatives will feel from the Republican policies will be brutal, but at least they get to inflict pain on their perceived enemies. What a silly fucking country.

      I also think it’s pent up rage because a black man was president. These racists will literally never let that go or accept it.

        I’ve heard it so many times from racists I am related to and work with. ‘‘We had a black president NOTHING IS RACIST ANYMORE! I can say whatever I want now’’ they REALLY can’t figure out what ‘racism’ means on any dictionary level.

      We have reached a point in reality where I believe Tolkien’s “Evil will defeat itself” when even Trump supporters are swept up by the consequences of their voting choices.

    How much longer before one of these becomes an outright gun battle? Or some dude screaming “show me a warrant!!” while holding an AR15. I want someone to make these ICE fuckers scared to do this.

    So felony kidnapping and aggravated menace. If they refuse to identify I dont see why we have to assume they are officers.

    1. Treat every firearm as if it is loaded
    2. Never point a firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy
    3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot
    4. Be sure of your target and what is behind it

    I would say they are not following #2 but I am also pretty sure they are willing to destroy what they’re pointing their weapons at in this situation. cunts

    SC has stand your ground. Wouldn’t brandishing a weapon basically green light you for using proportional force to stop an illegal act?

    Even better, id be interested to see what happens in a state with castle doctrine.

          That’s what happens when the left goes full divestment from and demonization of guns for multiple decades. Even Marx knew it was a dumb idea, but saying “hell yes we are coming for your AR-15s and AK-47s” was just too tempting. The far right gun nuts are going authoritarian and the centrists are still hoping this doesn’t end in a shooting (civil) war.

      What would happen? Your house and at least five other houses around it would be riddled with so much lead that it would be declared a hazmat site. They would then “find” 40 bags of cocaine on property. Each bag would be found by a different officer and oddly not one of them will have been hit by a bullet. 112 random weapons will be found on your property, often in the exact same place that the cocaine was found, but by completely different officers at different times.

      I’ll bet dollars to donuts that they know who and who doesn’t have registered firearms. They are cherry-picking easy targets right now, and are going to avoid a gunfight if they can help it.

    This is not a democratically elected regime. It’s a hostile takeover. The longer people don’t realise that the more time they have to prepare for their holocaust.

      And yet we dont. This has always been the gun fetishists fantasy situation, but now that its here, they dont use their guns. Seems like they wasted their money.

    I am failing to find either a list of ICE abduction / detention victims or a list of ICE officer-involved homicide.

    In 2015 police officer-involved homicide (that’s a euphemism for when a law-enforcement officer kills someone) averaged four victims a day, and those are the ones uncovered by activist groups who tracked incidents through news and obituaries.

    So I cannot imagine a quota of 3000 abductions a day is going to proceed cleanly. Technically, they’re succeeding at about 1100 abductions a day on average. We’ve seen their violence discipline and deescalation skills are wanting.

    The only news I can find about ICE killing someone is from the Biden era, and only a few are reported.

    So if anyone knows how often ICE pulls the trigger and kills (or seriously hospitalizes) members of the public, and can find me sources, please let me know. We should be tracking them, and we should be saying their names.
