Violent, angry, bald, insecure, racist falls down when trying to beat down and kidnap a fully grown adult with the help of two other men, gets violent, angry, bald, insecure, and racist and immediately threatens the lives of witnesses with further extreme armed dangerous incompetence.

The old man glasses really seal the deal for me.

That guy did my taxes last year!

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's a magazine and there could be a round in the chamber, so...

I would bet on them being such cowards they never would cock their guns because they are not ready to kill another person. Why else would the brownshirts always point their guns at people? They don't understand what a firearm actually is.

So much wrong with this:

  • Dude's old.
  • Clearly can't use his weapon correctly
  • Is on the ground
  • Maybe has bad vision
  • Wearing fuckin' skinny jeans
  • His tough guy stance at the end of the video, trying to regain his manhood like he didn't just humiliate himself

Donald's going to give this asshole a medal of freedom.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

He doesn't look old to me in that pic, just bald, but I honestly don't have any details so he could be.

wearing fucking skinny jeans

lmfao that's gold.

he's absolutely a complete fucking tool though

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't even know if he's good enough to be called a tool. A tool has value. This dipshit is just worthless.

[–] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Aside from the egregious gun fumble, he's clearly out of shape and completely winded after standing up. His "tough guy" stance looks more like someone who's afraid and can't keep their cool, so they try to look intimidating. It comes off as reckless endangerment of everyone in his proximity.

Somebody tell their grandpa he is past his prime and just needs to hang the dream up of killing a minority.

[–] Laggindragon@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Magazine, that is all.

Somebody explain to me how some bloated, out of shape clown who needs bifocals is going to be expected to wrestle someone to the ground??? Where did they get these guys, retired dudes from the local day-drinking hole?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 84 points 3 days ago

The only qualification is that they're racist.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 42 points 3 days ago

I mean have you seen some cops? ICE has lower standards than that.

[–] dumbass@aussie.zone 30 points 3 days ago

I dunno, but they let a bloated meth addicted pedophile run the country, so their judgements a bit off lately.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

Literally ANYONE (white) that signs up, gets a gun and free license to terrorize the community. (plus a $50k signing bonus if I remember right, not gonna bother looking it up)

Clearly this grandpa needs to hug his grandkids and not be doing these things.

I will note that clip/magazine is very difficult for it to just fall out of the gun. The eject button is very intentional.

Also, even if the magazine is out, there is still one live in the chamber and can still hurt someone.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Mag button is placed above the usual firing grip to be intentional, my guess is he was so eager to draw down he squeezed the whole handle. Incompetent and shouldn’t be carrying, absolutely but..there’s one in the chamber and a gun is always loaded.

Can we just fucking kill the Nazis again already?

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

Honestly, I don't blame these people. I was once brainwashed as well (1x Bush Sr, 2x Bush jr) so I understand what he is going through.

They really do think they are the good guys and view everyone else to be lesser than him. And that's why a normal conversation with these people usually snaps them back to reality.

[–] Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Also, even if the magazine is out, there is still one live in the chamber and can still hurt someone.

I came to the comments to say this exact thing. This is actually a leading cause of negligent discharge incidents. People eject the magazine and assume the gun is unloaded, completely forgetting about the round in the chamber. There’s a reason soldiers are trained to actually look into the chamber.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

trained to actually look into the chamber.

From the back, mind. I'm sure you know but its an important detail.

I see a lot of comments dismissing the nuanced difference between a magazine and a clip, and I agree that from a linguistic perspective it doesn't matter...

But it may be relevant here. A clip is used to load a magazine. In the case of the M1 Garand and the new Kel-Tek PR57, the clips are used to load an internal (integral) magazine. This gun uses conventional magazines, and the magazine can be dropped (the ICE agent in the video must have pressed the magazine release button while scrambling for his weapon) while there is still a round in the chamber.

TL;DR he was probably waving around a loaded gun at those people.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

One time I was in Walmart and asked if they sold gun magazines, and the guy said "they're up at the front of the store", which I thought was weird. He was talking about printed magazines. I was talking about metal things that hold bullets.

After that I just say "clip" even knowing it's not technically correct.

More info: there was a time when Walmart sold all kinds of gun stuff. I don't know if they do anymore. I used to buy 500 .22 long rifle bullets for $15.

I like the second guy in the background who is pointing his gun at the guy's leg. It is good that ICE hires the mentally handicapped, but lets not give them guns.

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

At least the guy in the back has trigger discipline shrug

That moment when you find you racism isn't a qualification

When you give the village idiots guns and masks and mountains of money and tell them they can do what they want.

What a shithole country.

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 days ago

That’s just obviously an error by someone untrained in close combat

  1. why was the gun not in his holster? He even looked for it
  2. why was the suspect almost able to grab the gun? Could have let to the victim killing 3+ officers
  3. He clearly panicked, wanted to be in possession of the gun at all cost. This caused him to involuntarily pointing the gun at civilians. Involuntarily, because of the way you have to hold the gun while on ground. The error was him wanting to hold the gun in the hand, instead of getting to his knees first, while holding the gun down to the ground with one hand.

You can clearly see that they are physically out of shape and now have to wear a vest + equipment.

"This man was arrested for resisting arrest"

Pressed the B button by mistake. Happens all the time.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Clicked the left stick. Now a Lynel is gonna butt wreck him since he can't run or flurry rush.

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

He looks like he has the power of god and ~~anime~~ hentai on his side

[–] protist@mander.xyz 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The best part is the guy behind him pointing his gun at his ass. This is gun safety 101, but I realize they weren't required to do any training on gun safety

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This very guy, in the same video, points his loaded gun at his dick after putting it in his belt.

Focusing on the person is missing the point. This is someone who is not properly trained for their job or for the use of firearms and this will happen repeatedly until we raise that standard.
