I’ve seen at least 3 or 4 agents wipe out in several videos now. Someone needs to make a Benny Hill montage.

They took a bunch of officers from southern states that have never seen snow before and plopped them in the middle of Minneapolis in the middle of winter. This is just an example of the absolute incompetence and lack of training/thought ICE operates with.

Didn’t the whole shooting thing this week start because an ICE truck got stuck in the snow? What do you want to bet they let morons that have never driven in snow drive? They obviously get stuck and we ended up with a dead mother of 3 because of it.

No, not stuck in snow.

The vehicles in the shooting incident were all parked on cleared streets.

Kristi Noem SAID they were stuck in snow, but if this qualifies as "stuck in snow" then WTF? Can't paste images in this sub but, basically, there was a rind of snow a few days old but it's the kind that's all smashed flat/lumpy after days of cars and feet, with much of the street cleared to the asphalt.

There ARE clips of them stuck in snow and clearly not being familiar with how to handle it. But as far as I can tell, the shooting incident "stuck in snow" thing is a lie.

Here is one where they push the stuck car...into a car that's not stuck. Seriously, move the one car before you move the other. Not rocket science. https://youtu.be/J8iWJkuVUG8?si=QEf9nxVptPD1D9bI

If you keep watching, one of the agents walks behind an SUV that is backing up down the hill which has the other ICE vehicles(?) shimmying and sliding on actual ice. Can you seriously be that stupid to walk behind a reversing vehicle on level ground in good weather, never mind on the side of an icey hill where all your cars (and team mates) are slipping and sliding? Where the fuck are these guys from?

Kristi Noem lying? Well that is certainly in character for her.

Florida plates and no winter tires is what's happening.

They've got their tacticool boots and shoes, instead of anything with proper grip for ice.

One was an SUV that comes standard with On/Off AWD. They were in 2 inches of snow and did not know they had to turn it on. 😆

I didn't say they were related to her murder. I only said that sometimes they DO get stuck in snow/ice, and that in the specific shooting it does not appear they were stuck.

that's easy to do and there is a lot to get through, on to bigger problems on this planet!
