The officer apparently tried to tuck a gun into his pants instead of using a holster, failed, dropped the gun, and menaced bystanders in response to his own failure

Loving his mag just sitting on the damn ground… clearly he is an untrained POS! He lost his damn gun taking down ONE guy… He couldn’t even shoot if he wanted leaving that mag on the ground, fucking idiot!

How does the orange fucking dick taste? Like shit? He def would know since he can’t even handle a damn gun properly. Fucking clowns!

This is not true. The magazine is only the feeding mechanism. There is likely still a round in the chamber. This is firearm safety 101. Always assume a weapon is able to fire unless you 100% know that it isn't.

The problem with gun-wielding morons is they're slow to realize the rest of us can put them in jail.

[–] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is such a strange and out-of-touch comment (to me) that I can't tell if it's bad sarcasm or...what.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 10 points 1 week ago

You're not alone, that's my reaction too, because the frustrating reality is that it never happens.

[–] tehredmage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago

Can you, though?

Or do you elect them to the highest office in the land?

[–] happydoors@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Outrageous. This is not okay.

i hoped he was gonna accidentally shoot his balls off at the beginning while trying to tuck his gun in his belt

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Isn't that the reason why you all have guns at home?

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So, lets entertain this train of thought a moment. The ICE agent drops his gun and, embarrassed, drops to the ground and points the gun at bystanders (according to OP at least). A bystander pulls a gun on the officer in defense and fires. The ICE guy on the ground gets hit but not before firing off several rounds. By this point the rest of the goon squad have pulled their guns and begin firing on the crowd because they don't know where the shots originated from. Now you have a wounded/killed agent and a whole group of innocent people got gunned down in response. Taking it further, Trump uses this as proof that martial law needs to be enacted officially and not just the illegal ways he's doing it now.
Maybe that's what its going to take? IDK. I do think you're right in principle, but shits complicated.

At leas t with Marshall law you will finally understand the severity and maybe fight back instead of just saying things like, "if we do something it'll be bad", every single time, until there is no one to fight back and nothing left to fight for and you can enjoy the full force of a technofascist state anyway.
