2 injured, including a US Marshal, after an ICE agent’s weapon discharged during LA immigration enforcement operation

Two people were injured, including a US marshal, during an immigration enforcement operation early Tuesday in Los Angeles, the Department of Homeland Security said.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent’s weapon discharged when the agent tried to grab an individual who apparently rammed into a vehicle that was part of a team of ICE and US marshals engaged in immigration enforcement, a law enforcement source tells CNN.

"The gun just did that."

We really should figure out a way to publicly shame this passive voice bullshit.

I didn't read the article but if it was a Sig P320 it might have "just did that"

No, it's clearly the fault of the guy that got shot. That's why he's been criminally charged.

(/s but not on the criminal charges. Those are real.)

Was it a SIG P320? That one goes off by itself.

No it doesn’t, but cops love to lie about that after the fact to cover up their mistakes.

Actually it does go off by itself. Plenty of civilians have posted videos showing this. There's a HUGE hullabaloo about it in the gun world right now, and a quick googling will prove it.

Even ICE thought they were terrible - huge yikes on that one

Yeah, I'm not believing that version of events for a second.

So what I'm hearing from that title is a ice agent deliberately shot a US Marshal

I heard some of them talking on how they would like to take those marshal fucks down a peg. It was while they were talking about being better than the seals and rangers combined and wanted to show a few of them something.

Third person-ing the whole thing. “The gun discharged…”

No.

“Dumbass pulls trigger on gun and shoots people.”

Having used such firearms they do not just “discharge” without active effort.

I had manager years ago that had a hole in his passenger side door. I asked what happened and one of my coworkers immediately jumped on the opportunity to tell me how he managed to discharge a hunting rifle in his passenger seat somehow.

I should have expected every other decision he made may be just as bad... But for some reason I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Turns out most of his decisions were that negligent.

Intentionally...

They're sending stupid untrained people with guns into high stress situations, and Stephen Miller knows it's only a matter of time for "accidents" and they'll use propaganda to normalize it and then start doing it intentionally.

Maybe not the best, but probably typical of the average.

Even if they were, this isn’t what any of these people are trained for. Federal agents are not local police. They don’t go out on patrol or randomly deal with stressful situations. TV makes it seem like federal agents are out chasing bad guys every day but they spend a huge amount of time following leads, interviewing people, and digging up information from various sources (of which i make no comments on the legality of). None of these people are trained to be beat cops on the front lines every day this way.

CNN parrotting obvious lies from fascists.

I wouldn’t believe for a second that anyone rammed an ICE vehicle unless they release video evidence and a confession. They have been caught lying about this shit at least a dozen times now.

This article has them saying 2 completely different things, probably both are lies.

“ICE law enforcement officers, assisted by U.S. Marshals, pulled the illegal alien over in a standard law enforcement procedure. The illegal alien weaponized his vehicle and began ramming the law enforcement vehicle in an attempt to flee,” the agency said in a statement. “Fearing for the safety of the public and law enforcement, our officers followed their training and fired defensive shots. The illegal alien was shot in the elbow and one law enforcement officer was shot in the hand by a ricochet bullet. Both are in the hospital.”

Correction: ICE recklessly shot a US Marshal while attempting to murder a TikTok streamer in cold blood.

I think it's called attempted murder and lies to cover it up.

15

Reading it a second time, it's really fucking obvious. A US Marshall AND the driver was injured when a vehicle operated by feds was "rammed" AND the agent's weapon discharged?

CNN can't even keep up with the propaganda demands now. They're having to tie unrelated events in spacetime together.
