In future, these will be taught in history books with the same horror that history books now attribute to the Nazi gestapo police.

Where in the literal fucking hell did he get the training to try and bust through a window with the barrel of his gun pointed at a person. That kind of disregard for their equipments shows a profound disregard for safety and a complete lack of any sense at all.

[-] pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

why they look like terrorists?

[-] rljkeimig@lemmy.world 117 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Carmakazi@piefed.social 51 points 1 week ago

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).

[-] rljkeimig@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

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

[-] in_my_honest_opinion@piefed.social 63 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Very fucking unsafe to drive the muzzle of your rifle into any rigid object. Muzzle strikes are a thing. However you target the soft tissue of an assailant that has gotten within grabbing distance of your weapon and you do not want to kill them.

What this asshole did is dangerous on many fronts. They're using what appears to be their suppressor, which is atleast an 8" lever, that's likely screwed into an adapter that's then screwed onto the barrel. It's as much of a rube goldberg setup as it sounds. However under normal wear and tear still usually robust. It's designed to be used in tension to suppress the muzzle flash and report of a fired round by slowing and cooling the resulting gasses.

What it's not designed to be used as, is a FUCKING HAMMER, which puts it in compression. This asshole is striking a hard surface, with a steel blunt tube, comprised of a very complicated inner geometry. Not only that but he's striking at an angle levering the wide and rigid tube against a narrow coupler. I see a baffle strike and a ruined suppressor in his future. Possibly a ruined barrel crown depending on how much he just fucking bent that shit.

Now, to the biomechanics of what is happening. He had his hand on the pistol grip and his support hand on the foregrip. There's no fucking leverage there he can meaningfully exert. There's a reason spears don't have pistol grips. So the hand around the pistol grip is going to try to get the most purchase on the weapon. Which means it'll be riding up to the upper of the weapon and on the way there it could turn the weapon safety. Also, around that pistol grip is the trigger.

The driver of that car is being terrorized, by a moron, who very easily could've had a negligent discharge and shot her.

Fucking nightmare fuel all around. Those poor women. I hope they get justice because I would've gone to jail or died if it were me recording.

This is an excellent commentary. Thanks!

[-] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 week ago

Some muzzle devices are explicitly designed to shatter glass alongside normal function - although they're commonly found on breaching shotguns.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Yes but what about rule #4 of gun safety: Never point your gun at anything you don’t want a bullet hole in?

Was he ready to shoot them?

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 37 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They're always ready to shoot us the exact second they think they can get away with it.

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

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

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 73 points 1 week ago

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.

So.. we gonna do anything about this - or are we still thinking that slowly walking around in a big circle downtown will remedy all this fascism?

I mean, I'm down to a do another lap. But it sure seems like things are getting really bad really quickly and that they are about to get a hell of lot worse.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

I’m down to pull the trigger, it’s what you do with nazis. Question is how do we organize cause it’s gonna go from 0-100 immediately

[-] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

Snipers and drones... If I had to wager how this was gonna go...

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

It's a good thing that drones aren't easy and fun for anyone to build...

middle east us interventions, except inside their borders now.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 week ago

this is also who ICE has been all along. Black people and irregular migrants have been trying to explain it for 2 decades now. people with access to power to do anything just simply didn't listen

[-] Golden@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 week ago

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

[-] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 39 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Any competent lawyer would demolish that position.

[-] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago

... in a fair court...

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Extremely unlikely. Insurance likely has blanket prohibitions on coverage caused by interactions with police. Fault isn't relevant.

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.

Masked armed robbers should get shot at

[-] Reygle@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Gestapo agents broke their car window and dragged them out of their vehicle

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

The "Ge" stands for Geheime.
That means secret or covert.

They are not very covert.

[-] Nurgus@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

They are secret and covert in that their identity is hidden.

[-] Reygle@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

That looks EXPENSIVE! Better BOOST ICE"S Budget!

Just a couple of proud boys out having some fun. (Disgusting)

[-] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago
