Anonymous has investigated the gun ...
Note that these are the same Republicans who have lectured us for decades about people's right to carry guns legally.
Also, the image they circulated seems to have been on the internet for a while. It's not this man's gun:

Not just circulated. DHS posted the photo on their Twitter in a post claiming the victim was a violent assailant and claiming the weapon in the picture was theirs.
Apparently that is showing up on the reddit thread because someone posted it there after these events. Unless you can link the specific picture on reddit that is older.
But in any case the video shows ICE agents disarmed the man (by taking the weapon from his waistband) before murdering him, so we do know that they have the gun.
It shows it is older by the date on the 2nd pic ... 5 days ago.
That's the age of the thread, the OP was posted 5 days ago. It doesn't mean reddit didn't give Google a picture that was posted later in the thread when Google went looking for the photo. It seems to be a weekly thread (which would be pinned) so it seems likely that people would continue commenting days after its posting.
Someone posts a weekly mega thread that stays up a week, with comments made throughout the week. -> Someone posts this photo after the ICE fucks murder the guy they disarmed in said mega thread -> You ask Google to look for the photo online -> It shows you the mega thread posted 5 days ago, because it now contains the image
Not that I don't think ICE isn't that incompetent and willing to lie. But I'd need to see a link to the actual photo on reddit as proof that it's older.
You're explaining reality. I understand it's important to not trust ICE but people being incompetent and not understanding what a date is actually referring to is just dumb.
Is it just me or doesn't it seem like there's something wrong with that gun? Why is the barrel all bent?
That's happens when the slide is pushed back. Totally normal
