"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.)
The gun went off, unprovoked
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.
Yeah and according to this article Ice stopped using them in July.
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.
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.
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.
Haven't heard of the legendary Gun That Definitely Kills People I see
That said it mostly seems to be cops covering up negligence filing these complaints, for some reason.
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.
They aren't sending their best.
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.
Is their tryout for being bought by skydance
I don’t believe a single word from this administration.

So guns do hurt people now?
Only when fascists want to use passive voice.
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.”
Isn't that called negligence?
I think it's called attempted murder and lies to cover it up.
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.
“It hurt itself in its confusion!”
Put them behind bars.
Was it a SIG P320? Lol
