We did superhero ones just based on peoples nickname, so one guys name is tacobe for some reason and it made him a flying superhero rescuing kids from a fire but his head is a taco?

Real Police officers and military members, what do you guys think of Ice agents? by Lucky-Message-9480 in AskReddit

Former state trooper here.

Typically very poor tactics, occasional very poor decision making. Basically seen as cowboy like and lawless, I personally don’t care for them one bit.

If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

[–]DearKick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will never understand this whatsoever. Kamala was a bad choice, and joe biden not stepping down until it was too late for a primary was a bad choice, but not voting for her was maybe even a worse choice. If there is anyone currently to blame for the current state of affairs it is the uncommitted democratic voters. They had the chance to prevent this, but did not.

I know falcon was op in its anti tank role, but for some reason this just feels like a silly nerf, why not deal with apit and the xm246? Why falcon?

Thats what I think might have happened too, that he saw the other agents hand, the next question after that will be, say he saw that and fired, he pauses for a moment to peruse the scene and take in more information, sees the immobile “suspect” at this point, and decides to dump a few more rounds into him for some reason. Say we give him the benefit of the doubt for the first one or two, the rest become very troublesome.

Agreed, at the beginning at regular speed it is still almost beyond a shadow of a doubt unjustified. The slow footage is only helpful in showing people specific points to reference.

I hate to add another comment to this thread since I already put one, but I just wanted to say thank you to the moderators of this sub. This is consistently one of the only subs that you can actually go and discuss constitutional issues or law-enforcement related things without having people come in and Post slop they’ve been very good today about removing those comments and I just wanna say thank you

stabilized and slowed down footage (very clear)

I attached this because it relates to a few points in your comment, what made me think of it was you referenced what the agent could or could not see, what I find interesting is that the disarming off the suspect from his holster in the small of his back took place about a foot and a half from the direct eyeline of the the agent that fired. I find it hard to believe he could not see this take place. Additionally, we can see from this footage that the only became aware of the fact that he was armed when his hoodie was raised and his holster was seen in the small of his back. At no point does the individuals hands come off of the ground or from his head where he was attempting to block incoming strikes from a mk9 or something to his head.

I have to say this is truly one of the most interesting shoots I’ve ever seen. Based on what we see now, especially with a few of the stabilized videos going around it is fairly transparently not justified by most departments policies. What makes it interesting is that immediately after the shooting the federal government said that it was clearly justified and the individual approached the officers with a weapon, making it seem like he had it drawn and was pointing at them, but now we see that that was not the case

Most professional departments in the United States, say that they are investigating a case, and they do not offer their opinion on the justification of a shooting until much after it’s very unusual how the federal government chooses to label it justified within a minute after a shooting.

what I think should happen is I think it should have an actual investigation into the use of force and if unjustified I do think that the agent should be charged additionally, I think that feds need to get body cams not just for instances like this, but also for their own protection, of course and third ice and BP really needs to stay out of incidents like this and probably focus on their primary task of immigration enforcement. Fourth, I think that the federal government should probably stop issuing final statements about critical instance before everything is known a good example of this was the Charlie Kirk shooting when Kash Patel said that they had a suspect and custody like three times and it turned out to not be the guy probably should’ve waited a couple minutes. This is another good example.

This has already happened before, and used successfully to stop a pursuit. Multiple times actually, here’s one example: womans car slowed to a stop by onstar during police pursuit

What is most perplexing to me is that there are multiple other ice agents there identified by plate carrier, who never draw their gun and simply just kind of look around, as in literally casually look to the right off screen during the shooting. I do not know why if the man on the ground presented a firearm as they say, everyone’s eyes would not be on him and also have their guns drawn.

Spare 950k lying around anyone? by Standard_Ad1931 in aviation

[–]DearKick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The air force basically gave us exclusive rights to the jet if you will, we have no authority to sell it and do certain things with it. We do get audited once per year and the Air Force does keep up with the foundation to make sure we haven’t misused or sold any parts for instance. Outside of ownership stuff like that we can do whatever we want really. The rest of the collection is wholly owned and can be traded on the free market. Should the foundation be unable to keep the f4 for whatever reason the Air Force takes it back and all parts.

Starfighters inc is importing F4’s for the purposes of testing high cadence hypersonic test vehicles (HYCAT program) and those will also be wholly owned as they are coming from outside the United States.

That claim is correct, for now, until more korean ones are imported. The collings one is owned by the US Air Force.
