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.

If not GeStaPo, why GeStaPo shape?

That seems pretty exciting utopia

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.

[–] habitualcynic@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

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 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.

Sick country and it is becoming worse.

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 9 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 25 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago

It needs to happen sooner than later.

[–] Kurious84@lemmings.world 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

There are this many scum suckers who want to be cruel to people?? That's a job people sign up for? wtf.

Meet the American cartel/gestapo!

[–] MrSmith@lemmy.world 36 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

/s

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.

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.

man it sure would be a shame if ICE and LE assholes got treated the way they treated innocent people.

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 21 points 16 hours ago

i mean shit, if someone breaks into my house and they don't identify themselves...

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 22 points 17 hours ago (7 children)

Yeah, they're not hiring the best and the brightest here but they are hiring the most supremacist and this is what happens when you let that take over.

I'd say that they could sue but given how the courts have been stacked, they really stand no chance.

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.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 55 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

If you haven't figured it out yet, all of the big talk, 2A fans are the biggest pussies out there.

If any of them were legit, we'd have dead ICE agents by now.

[–] Zizzy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 46 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The 2A crowd are the ICE agents

[–] Narauko@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 28 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Well they can have all the fun they want doing that after they step over the four corpses on my doorstep, one of which will be mine.

I want this clear. I.C.E has no jurisdiction when it comes to citizens. One shows up at your house tell em to fuck off and call a lawyer.

DO NOT COMPLY

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

Within 100 miles of the border or coast, your rights are way less.

You’re gonna end up detained no matter what you do if they want to detain you. And they’ve already disappeared plenty of people without due process.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 18 points 18 hours ago

Conveniently they count every international airport as a border, so this covers almost the entirety of the country.

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 126 points 1 day ago (9 children)

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

If possession of an unlicensed suppressor can be legally considered attempted murder, I didn't see how showing up armed, concealing one's identity, brandishing firearms, and physically assaulting people (with the threat of said firearms) is not. States need to start trying all of these nazis.
