Using "undercover" as if he's concealing his employer in order to take on the mob rather than attendants at a carwash.
Anyone pissed that for once the cop doesn’t shoot first?
- Maybe the I.C.E agent was white. hard to tell from the photo
So, it's not a crime if ICE does it?
- Laws don't apply to MAGAs.
Local police need to start arresting ice
- Unlikely to happen, because it means they'd be vulnerable to accountability too.
I can think of at least 5 road rage incidents within a few miles of my house over the last decade, in which people were murdered by a road rager with a gun. Some of them have never been caught, and never will be.
If I'm a cop, and I see a guy exit his vehicle and point his gun at the driver in the car behind him, I'm going to shoot that guy immediately.
Even if I'm not a cop, my state has very strong Stand Your Ground Laws, and if a citizen were to kill a road rager who was pointing a gun at another driver, they'd certainly get away with it.
The dead guy being an ICE agent might complicate it a bit, but it shouldn't.
- Yea but the guy pointing the gun was white. If it was an unarmed black or brown guy. He would have been shot before he got out of the car.
Fascists think they're immune to being humiliated, beaten down or suffering. He's going to learn the hard way that he's only human.
- Oh? Nothing's happened to them so far...
  
  So far...
For fucks sake, actual brownshirts...
And she'd have been well within her rights to shoot him first.
- Or run his ass over.
If the ICE agent would be not white, I'm sure cop would just shot him without questions.
The guy should have been arrested anyway. Even the supposed infraction, “she was following me!”, is not something you should be pulling a gun for
As opposed to the 'official uniform' all the others are wearing?
Oh my god, I'm over here incredibly blue-balled for blue-on-(sort of)blue violence.
Since ICE agents refuse to identify themselves and often operate while wearing masks, there has been a growing number of incidents in which residents and local police cannot tell if the individual they're dealing with is a federal agent or an opportunistic criminal.
“Yes.”
They posted the wrong video.
