    “This is just the example and the consequence of what occurs when you hire individuals who don’t have the character, the moral judgment, or the ability to actually do the job of law enforcement,”

    The agents who shot Rene Good and Alex Pretti had around 10 years of experience.

    Sick of this “it’s the newbies” lie.

    I remember a pretty long video on !thepoliceproblem@lemmy.world where an ice agent was stopped for erratic driving and, clearly drunk, tried to talk his way out of it, like “hey man, I’m ICE, we’re on the same side, I just got divorced, don’t fuck me like this!”, later more threatening. I think his kid was even in the back. It went on for ages. Truly something to behold. It contained everything you need to know about what sort of people get hired by ICE.

    72-year-old man fired one shot at Gonzalez during the altercation. The injured agent was later placed in handcuffs by an off-duty police officer, who is the boyfriend of the elderly man’s daughter
    The elderly man who shot the agent is not facing charges, and was also being evaluated for his injuries.

    Damn, the cop wanted the ICE alive huh.
    Should have not missed.
