That guy is so double-dumb, as majority modern pistols won't fire without a magazine even if they have a round in the chamber as an idiot-protection feature. Case-in-point. I suppose. Also LOL even calling them agents. Joke faux lol shits is a better name and I spent 1ms thinking up that name. Assclowns would be a better name. Traitors, treasonists, fascists, better yet.
Surely these men (sadly almost entirely us) are getting known, renowned in their own communities and workplaces as the morons to avoid. The draining view is that they'll be treated with jock humour and ultimately praised.
I don't think they're that rare. I'm guessing their family, neighbors, and friends are fuckheads too.
Have upvoted you but secretly wishing really really really hard that you're wrong, but knowing that your completely right.
Great job America. Should make judgement day a piece of cake for God.
Grow up. There is no god, but if there was then it's to blame for every bit of this.
People need to read up on the Kent State shootings in 1970. National Guards "men" shot and killed people singing songs. 4 murdered, 9 more shot, then days later at UNM 8 students were stabbed with bayonettes.
There was an investigation, the Guard lied about being under sniper fire, most of these brave heros admitted they were scared because of rocks. No one was held responsible for a massacre of unarmed Americans.
America has a 50 year old problem of cowards with guns.

Some of those shot weren't even protesters, they were just random students walking to class who were completely uninvolved.
America has. 250 year old problem of cowards with guns
And we're still talking about Kent State and UNM today as it had a serious affect on the country. But the sad part is, if something like this happened today, a third of Americans would blame the victims. Fox News would tell lies about what actually happened. And it would be swept under the rug and forgotten about by Christmas.
Trump world also pardon any offenders if it made it to court.
When it happened 80% of the country blamed the kids. We're actually much better off today then we were back then in terms of public opinion and reactions.
The lesson from Kent State is no one in this country really gave a fuck.
This kind of thing was way too common back then

Just back then? This is my first time reading this particular excerpt, but the "Black Hitlers" part sticks out. Conservative America really has been doing the same shit forever, it seems. Calling them that is in the same family as saying, "Antifa are the real fascists," etc. Just feed their target audience some shit to parrot that, to them, feels salient but really is meaningless except for redirecting blame and stoking fear and hatred.
Exactly. Paint their opponents with their own crimes in order to sow confusion and shift blame
It's literally the South Park episode.
Those guys are fuckin trash at their job, my god.
Well yeah, they took a job to basically run around and terrorize immigrants all day like its cowboys and indians. Can't imagine that attracts a very high caliber individual, and the administration sure as hell isn't turning anyone away.
They earn twice as much as you do
Probably not, I'm at almost $200K a year. That is irrelevant to their lack of abilities to detain a single man.
You know, where I'm at, that is a chargeable offense.
Ah yes, the States. Where you have to be more scared of the police than of criminals.
I sure hope this doesn't happen over here.

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!
He couldn’t even shoot if he wanted leaving that mag on the ground, fucking idiot!
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.
This is such a strange and out-of-touch comment (to me) that I can't tell if it's bad sarcasm or...what.
You're not alone, that's my reaction too, because the frustrating reality is that it never happens.
Can you, though?
Or do you elect them to the highest office in the land?
Fuck ICE. Nazi bastards.

I stayed just outside of DC a couple weeks ago. I went into a run-down Dunkin and it was operated entirely in Spanish aside from the cashier knowing just enough English to take orders from people who aren't fluent in Spanish. I knew enough Spanish to be able to get my order when it was called. As I was leaving, a cop came in and started counting every brown person there. He made a big show of it, too, and people started panicking.
I honestly didn't know what to do in that situation. I was hungover as hell, broke, and had to drive 5 hours to get home so I could wake up for work the next day. I decided to just hang out and make sure the cop knew that I was watching him. I had my phone out and ready to record if more serious shit started happening. After a few minutes, the cop went back outside to his squad car and I pretended like I totally just happened to be leaving at the same time. When I blatantly eavesdropped on the cop and his buddy in the squad car outside, I heard them laughing about the whole thing. Apparently terroizing immigrants and their families is a fucking game to those bastards.
The patrons of the place cleared out immediately after the cops were gone. I stayed parked at that Dunkin for a good half an hour after everyone who could leave did and nothing else happened.
I have no idea if I should have done something more in that situation. I wanted to tell the cop to get the fuck out of there. I wanted to say some witty shit like "Oh man, I didn't order ice with my coffee."
I kinda freaked out internally when I realized what was happening but I couldn't bring myself to just leave despite my instincts telling me to. So I just made my presence and opposition to the cop known in a way that couldn't (legally) get me arrested and hoped for the best.
Perhaps you could have done more, but you did something, and that matters in my books
Most cops are sadists or ok with other cops being sadists. The ones that aren't don't last long in that environment before they quit or get training accidented.
