Two women, in their own driveway, had assault rifles pointed at them. ICE agents broke their car window with a rifle stock and dragged them out.

  It appears they are using the barrel of the rifle to break the window, which is even sillier than the other thing.

    Barrel/muzzle device = steel, buttstock is usually plastic nowadays, not the dumbest thing I’ve seen these goons do. Muzzle strikes are a thing in long arm combatives.

    Probably should have used an actual tool for it, though. And maybe not gangster-gripping the rifle to get a downward trajectory of the round for safety (I am being really, really generous here).

      More it seems unsafe than damaging to the rifle, but I guess they don’t care about that anyway?

      Or perhaps they could realize that honking your horn is free speech and have some sense of perspective - there should not have been an assault rifle

      There are specific window-breaker muzzle attachments for this purpose. It’s not what I’d use either if something without a gun mounted behind it was available though. Some eBay warrior wanted to try out their high-speed tacticool gear and got their golden opportunity.

    You are supposed to use your muzzle if you need to use your gun as a melee weapon. That’s why bayonets exist.

  I would never trust a safety enough to break a window with the butt of my rifle. Soooooo many ways for that to go wrong. What a fucking moron. Those poor women.

    You say this like ICE is worried if they murder people.

      No I say this as an outraged and confused witness to an abduction of two innocent women. I say this as a disenfranchised voter who is sick and tired of a complicit media using passive language about a Trump loving immigrant from the UK who just shot their daughter. I say this as a firearms owner who sadly cannot advocate for any new gun laws during the current constitutional congress in this country for fear of a Nazi like gun grab. I say this as a son, brother, father and citizen that my rights and the rights of all people in the United States are currently under threat, watching two innocent women be terrorized by Brownshirted thugs backed by a federal office. I say this as a confused resident of a country that continues to refuse to stand up for itself, held captive by controlled opposition called a Democratic party. I say this as a worker who is trying to organize a national strike, as a maker shipping whistles and radios and old mini PCs across this country so that neighborhoods can build rapid response teams to combat this shit.

  I’m slightly surprised insurance companies aren’t more involved fighting ice. Capitalists usually hate blowing money on stupid shit

    This is smaller than peanuts to them. I wonder if it’s even covered.

    The victim’s insurance would gladly say that she is at fault for making the police do this, and the police would back her up. On paper to them, it would be no different than if she had gone on a high speed chase and the cops had to ram her to get her to stop. They will not be paying a dime.

      Any competent lawyer would demolish that position.

    Seeking capitalist solutions for social problems is how we got here in the first place. I’m surprised there aren’t more strikes across the country.
