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.

Masked men

Refuse to give names

Refuse to give badge numbers

Refuse to identify themselves

Have no arrest warrant

Threatening bystander with lethal force

Show no shred of professionalism

Taking your loved one with no explanation other than 'shut the fuck up'

How is this not a kidnapping and why don't people defend themselves.

If masked men who refuse to identify as law enforcement with names, badges, or at least faces, are pushing my wife into an unmarked car ..... Ya someone is getting shot. Even if it's me, no one is taking my wife like that.

  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

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.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

Will it even be reported?

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.

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.

There is no greater flake than a butt-hurt, racist conservative. That's why political correctness exists: to protect their feelings.

[–] habitualcynic@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] liuther9@feddit.nl 1 points 18 hours ago

Its wild considering that they are aliens, not native americans. They are literally guests of this country

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 84 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 15 points 1 day ago

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

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.

I don't have that data for you, but don't forget that people also die in ICE detention, often due to withheld medical care.

EDIT: And apparently due to other reasons too...

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

I see loads of people saying this. Doing however...

[–] Cattail@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

That seems pretty exciting utopia

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Just a matter of time before these thugs start getting gunned down while trespassing

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 3 points 22 hours ago

Any day now...

[–] modus@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

It needs to happen sooner than later.

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

DHS website claims they're 800% more likely to be assaulted than other law enforcement. Not that we can trust it whatsoever but seems that's already the case.

[–] zod000@lemmy.ml 2 points 15 hours ago

That number needs to be at least ten times higher.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Sick country and it is becoming worse.

[–] MrSmith@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Thank god the US is fucking loaded with guns, so people can defend themselves.

/s

[–] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 3 points 16 hours ago

More guns than people, but in the hands of a few. And anyone at risk of being deported is even less likely to risk it.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

The gun fetish people are the only ones signing up to be ICE.

[–] oyo@lemmy.zip 75 points 1 day ago (14 children)

If we allowed 50 million immigrants to enter the US the number of criminals per capita would be reduced.

If we deported Donald Trump the number of criminals per capita would also be reduced.

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.

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.org 150 points 2 days ago (26 children)

yeah. still waiting on the 2A crowd to enforce their anti tyranny claims.
