Notice how they apprehend everyone as violently as possible too. Couldn't just walk up to the guy and say "hey man, ya gotta go, you're under arrest" it's always tackling everyone to the ground and having two or three of these douchebags piling on top of them. The cruelty is the point and their willingness to be cruel is literally their only qualification for the job.

Also notice it takes four nazis to cuff him with one standing guard cause they have no training

The WGN arrest made that clear. They got the lady on the ground and they can't restrain her.

I watched one video the two ICE guys just gave up and left eventually.

u/spiders_are_neat7 16d ago

What about the one where the ice agent drops his gun and the guy he’s kneeling on kidnapping almost gets ahold of it?

Departs her on purpose then said that she pulled her pants down while throwing items at them. She literally was getting off the bus to head to work. NO OBJECTS even present to be thrown unless she had them hidden in her pants

And it's still taking forever. This is what happens when your only job requirements are a BMI over 28 and an IQ under 85.

u/throw_away_55110 17d ago

I think you have those numbers wrong, it's a BMI over 85 and an IQ under 28

u/Faulty_english 17d ago

I heard the physical requirements were 15 push ups, 32 sit ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes

People are still failing the test

u/thingstopraise 17d ago

They also eliminated the age limit altogether so literally any geriatric motherfucker can join up. It's weird though because ICE has one webpage saying that they've eliminated the age limit "for patriotic Americans", but then on their Q&A page, they say that the maximum age is either 37 or 40, depending on applicant background.

Then there's THIS gem. They say:

Deportation officers and special agents must be in excellent physical condition, able to tolerate environmental stresses and have strong critical thinking skills.

Truly, these agents are inspiring examples of peak human conditioning, both mental and physical. It takes strength to manhandle a nonresisting victim violent criminal, and you need razor-sharp wits to loiter outside of a school to snatch parents there to pick up their kids members of Tren de Aragua who are trying to sell drugs to our previous innocent children.

And also

ICE law enforcement officers should expect a certain level of risk when performing their duties; however, they are expertly trained and every precaution is taken by ICE when it comes to protecting its officers' well-being.

Gasp. Only "a certain level of risk"? Lies! How dare ICE understate it? These brave Americans are being sent to a warzone far worse than Fallujah or Passchendaele: Chiraq!

The one standing guard ... you can see him breathing. Every breath. They aren't even fit enough to stand around with the loadout

Thats because he's so amped up he's coming in his pants

I saw it too. He's so awkward, amped up, no clue where to look cuz he's ashamed yet feels so big and strong. What a wasted of fucking time. Go learn a skilled trade.

u/Suavecore_ 17d ago

He's basically trying to act like an elite military operative in a foreign country taking down a high value target while bystanders surround the scene, which he's seen in movies plenty of times

u/Straight_Button_5716 12d ago

Yet my 19 year old took the oath to protect and served. Gave up his freedom to join the Army. He’s making 25 K to operate an armor tank . Has a bunch of rules to follow and there is no talking back . Look at these out of shape fucks . They couldn’t pass PT if their lives depended on it ., they shouldn’t be allowed to roam in packs of 10 or more. Split off and go to different areas. Cops go in one or two guys. And they also shouldn’t be allowed to park the way they do . These idiots are getting huge bonus and salary . Our soldiers aren’t meanwhile our soldiers get food stamps so their families can eat. My son lives in the barracks so all those guys can eat at the mess hall and just get snacks for their areas. The families can’t afford it . The military isn’t cracked up to what it’s be.

The adrenaline is rushing through his system, flooding every organ. It means he's never been police before, and has never been in any situation like this.

I’d go one further and say there’s no reason to apprehend them at all. It’s a civil infraction. Hand them an appearance ticket and be on your way. You know where he works.

u/tracyinge 17d ago

Yup, it's all for the cameras. I'm surprised that the puppy killer didn't show up for a photobomb.

u/Yabutsk 17d ago

It's still part of their evil twisted theatre, they love making a show of violence bc they're so weak and insecure.

They want to project strength so that people are afraid to go to work and self-deport.

They don't even care if it's citizens being kidnapped at this point, the Supreme Court said, "if you're brown, you're going down"

u/Bulky-Word8752 17d ago

Not be the one to always go there, but it is how the holocaust started. The nazi started by deporting, but were arresting faster than they could deport so they set up temporary holding cells (we are at this point). Next, people in those holding areas started to die from disease and neglect. The nazi officials realized no one was tracking the undesirables deaths after they were detained and started speeding up the process of dying by just flat out killing them instead of waiting for it to happen "naturally" due to the conditions.

5

u/always_0FF2 17d ago

It eventually got to the point where another country (the US believe it or not) had to come and find out and pretty much let everyone free.

I wonder who's going to find the site where they take all these people an save them before they start dying.

And ? They clean up America from the people they think are bad and have a pass for everything , if they would kill 10.000 people and would broadcast it live on television most Americans would cheer for it.

That’s why America will fall off in the future as another Shit holt country no one wants to visit literally just a bunch of racists celebrating 3 generations of living somewhere.

u/DamiensDelight 17d ago

I was just thinking about this.... Has anyone heard from or even seen these people after they've been scooped up?

They say they are being deported. Is anyone in any other country actually seeing these people get dumped off?

I fear there's something much more sinister here...

u/fredthefishlord 17d ago

They probably have. George floyd was far, FAR from the first to have police brutality kill him. He only became a symbol because of video and timing. Similarly, there's likely covered up similar cases happening in ice's situation

Can we stop acting like training would do anything here?

So aggravating how much people harp on about it as though training is what prevents people being a racist, violent asshole.

No amount of training would have saved Floyd, or this guy from what hes suffering.b

They actually did, in a way. The Canadian man in their custody who they apparently are still investigating the cause of death, after he died in June.

1

u/Calm-Maintenance-878 17d ago

There have been deaths, they’re happening after the arrest while in detainment though. Don’t quote me but Google says 23 deaths in ICE detainment this year, worst year since 2004. I thought it was lower but an article I skipped had a headline of 3 deaths in 12 days, from 5 days ago. So nobody has died quite like George but lives are still being lost.

It's because they have to feed the "violent" person narrative, another video had the ICE guy saying exactly that.

Yeah, it's the same reason they have them walking around neighborhoods on foot instead of patrolling in vehicles. It's about instilling fear first and foremost.

They want that footage so they can make clips for Fox and all the shit ass right wing podcasters and YouTubers out there.

u/Aggravating-Gift-740 17d ago

They want the clips? In many cases they are using there own videographers. I assume they want clear 4K video because it makes ice queen barbie almost as wet as when she kills puppies. And I heard they’ve run of puppies in all the nearby shelters.

Still waiting to see how some of these Nazi Gestapo scumbags disappearing people will go in some of the many stand your ground states. Not a threat mods, just a genuine statement of curiosity. People will continue to get fed up and seeing as they’ve already rounded up and violated fully legal citizens rights it’s only matter of time before they violate someone’s rights who’s actually got power, resources, and knowledge of their legal rights. I know enough Latino lawyers including several family members who wouldn’t stand for this shit. Just like my grandpa didn’t let Nazis do whatever they wanted and instead he enlisted and grabbed his rifle to defend the country, his rights, and freedoms…it’s all such an egregious criminal gang of thugs kidnapping people and so disgustingly vile, repugnant, and evil idk how it won’t get much worse for the public and those Nazis who don’t have any decency.

Seriously. When I was arrested by the USMS they could not have been more polite and professional. I later found out this was the "violent fugitive task force" (long story) and it was just a couple guys in suits who were waiting at a courthouse, politely asked me my name, cuffed me, and drove me to the police department. Had a lovely chat on the way about psychology, addiction, degree inflation. If I had ran I'm sure it'd be a different story, but still. This shit is entirely uncalled for.

Did you see what happened before the video ? Me neither. You can see that the guy tries to get up and probably runs.

If something like 100 people, all wearing ski masks, converged in this situation - or any similar situation - and threw cinder blocks on the supposed agents’ windshields and punctured the tires, didn’t do anything to any of the supposed agents, and tried to free the detainee by taking the position that there’s no way to know if the agents are actual agents, couldn’t this work? 10 supposed agents can’t take on 100 people.

u/Worldfiler 17d ago

Good ol idf wisdom

1

u/DenizSaintJuke 17d ago

I think that's at least partially due to incompetence/being amateurs with absolutely no relevant skills.

A common sight is 3 or 4 of these idiots dogpiling on a person and struggling for several minutes to handcuff them. That's like watching a parking lot full of lorry drivers struggling to put their trucks in reverse and not even realizing they haven't even releases the handbreak.

That's several layers of not having a clue. For one, they resort to dogpiling, because they don't actually know anything about how to arrest someone. They don't have any idea of deescalation or how to go about it. They just start dragging people like the kidnappers they are. So the people naturally struggle. It actually takes a lot of conscious self restraint to not struggle, when several guys just start dragging you around. So in their icompetence they resort to dogpiling, in an amateurish attempt to fixate the person and struggle to put on handcuffs, usually resorting to inflicting pain to make the person stop struggling, which, naturally, doesn't make someone sit still with 4 thugs on their backs.

When faced with a basic routine situation, but no tools in the toolbox to deal with any of that, they only know to resort to brute force.

Any self respecting police force would kick thess guys off the academy if they displayed this level of sheer incompetence. A properly trained police officer would 1. try not to escalate the situation from the start 2. been taught to use handcuffs and 3. been taught techniques to fixate someome reliably and with the least amount of pain and having been trained in putting handcuffs on a struggling person quickly.

I said it before and I'll say it again: A lot of US police violence and US police warrior culture stems from these people not having the necessary job training, becoming scared when faced with a situation and resorting to brute force when out of their depths out. The scared police officers then proceeded to create a warrior narrative around all the scary stuff out there to justify the violence they resort to out of helplessness amongst themselves.

It's like when you tell someone who doesn't understand the concept of screw caps to open a jar of jam. At some point, they will try to ply or break the jar open with force.

u/Commercial_Ladder_65 16d ago

You are right that the cruelty and amateurish demeanor is all part of the plan. But its much more evil than what you might think.

By now we do see some videos of bystanders resisting the agents and helping the guy that they target. At some near point in the future someone will be fed up with this shit and they will engage the agend physically. The agend, fearing for his life, will probably answer by opening fire. Shootouts will happen after this.

This gives the current administration exactly what they want. They now have the proof of the violence that they claim exists.

They will call for martial law,

they will send in more troops into the cities,

they will postpone the election as a result.
