They claim that was defensive? That didn't even look intentional. He straight up bumped the trigger after switching hands while fumbling with the lock. He wasn't even looking at the guy when he shot, and he literally yelled out "oh fuck!" after he shot. Even fucking boy scouts have better trigger discipline than that. This guy shouldn't have a weapon, let alone a badge.

These are not trained agents, these are paramilitary volunteers.

I've seen equally poor trigger discipline from cops too though... even the more established agencies are lowering the bar to pull in recruits.

Lmao like the time a cop shot himself in the leg when trying to draw his firearm. Good times.

So much of this reeks of zero experience or training

That is the purpose of ICE under this regime and also the reason for its astronomical budget: it is a secret police force that persecutes opponents of the regime.

It is the Gestapo of this regime, but somehow US citizens accept it. The reason seems as obvious as the purpose of ICE, but no one wants to admit it.

Despicable, every second of it, every detail.

Why even continue the intimidation and destruction and screaming? You have him where you want him, surrounded by cars and men, there isn't even anybody else around. Calm down. All you need to do is wait. Yet they go rushing in there, guns literally blazing, high on their movie cop fantasies.
