As ICE agents surged into Minneapolis, they found actual road ice to be more than a match for their wits and driving skill.

Man that website sucks. None of the video players work, except the one showing the SUV stuck in snow! Probably because they're from shady sources like Instagram and Twitter and I've blocked that shit.

Does anyone have mirrors to the remaining videos in the article?

Man that website sucks.

Bahaha, thanks!

Yeah, I've got you, I think these links should work, but no guarantees if you're blocking videos or whatever:

In the first video did one of those agents discharge their weapon when they fell or was that just some quirk of the video?

[–] KayLeadfoot@fedia.io 2 points 5 hours ago

Quirk of the video - he has a high power flashlight under the barrel, I think. Illumination looks like flash, but the lack of "flinch" tells me there was no loud sound when we see it.

Oh and they didn't shoot 6 random bystanders, which I'm pretty sure they would.

You are the GOAT.

oddly, about half of the videos worked fine for me
