    It’s probably one of those occupations with a Maximum IQ requirement rather than a Minimum IQ requirement.

    Call me when it’s in the head. Although I doubt that would be lethal for an ICE agent.

      Agreed. They’d have to hit a vital spot.

    The fact that the negligent discharges often involve experienced officers should be a wake up call that ICEs recent behavior isn’t new or just because of Trump - the incompetence is baked in.

      That’s what’s surprising. All the shootings, intentional and otherwise, are exactly the result you’d expect from adding a bunch of untrained morons to the group. But most of the incidents are from dudes with 5+ years experience. What the fuck.
