“Why? You can drive away. We have officers en route to you,” the dispatcher said. “I don’t want you guys getting into any more of a dispute.”
I love the interjection of reason by the 911 operator.
“Why?” is a great question in relation to nearly everything related to ICE.
Look, I get the idea of having a controlled border and knowing who is here legally and so on. There are many ways to do that that do not involve sending in armed goons to parade city streets in locales that have pissed off Dumb Leader.
I work in 911 dispatch, trying to inject a bit of reason into stupid and scary situations is a big part of my job.

I had a call one time, they guy had been threatened by a bunch of teenagers with knives on a bus
The bus came to its stop the teens got off and so did this rocket surgeon (instead of, you know, not getting off at the same stop as a bunch of armed kids who were just threatening you)
That’s about when he called and I answered.
This idiot was following them.
I told him not to, and reminded him that they have knives.
He told me it was ok because he had a knife too.
So I basically had to explain to him why that was fucking stupid.

Another time, I get a call from someone because there was a crazy guy with a machete out on their porch.
Her stupid fucking husband wanted to go outside to fight him. So I had to keep telling her to make him stay inside.

We had a domestic once, we actually got calls from both parties. One half was outside the house, the other half was inside, and they’re basically standing at the front door yelling at each other.
My caller was inside. I told them to just close and lock the door and wait for the police. They did. Problem solved, right? Arguing stopped, the other party even walked away from the door after that. I get all the info I needed and hang up.
Except like 2 minutes later, I see that we’re now sending EMS out to that house.
Because my stupid fucking caller opened the door to start arguing again and got pepper sprayed by the other party.

Those are probably the three biggest stand-outs I’ve had so far, but I’m really hard-pressed to think of any disturbances or domestics, that couldn’t have been resolved, or at least kept from escalating if at least one party would have just walked the fuck away. Close the door, roll up your window, go into another room, step outside, walk down the block, go sit in your car, etc.
Or hell, even just sit there and ignore them.
But no, they always need to get the last word in. They can’t swallow their stupid fucking pride for even one second.
And it’s really disturbing that those kinds of people are making their ways into law enforcement type positions.
It’s not a new phenomenon, and it’s not just ICE, it’s regular cops and such too.
But these aren’t the kinds of people who can help solve problems. These are the kinds of people who are problems.
I have to quote St Carlin
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
Well, fuck me. People think they’re clever with that line outside of reddit too.
I don’t think people think they’re being “clever” when they reference that quote
Yah and just like Reddit, Lemme also has folks like you who must quip the obvious to feel smart.
Snark doesn’t carry online the way you want it to.
Wow, it’s rare to see proof of a statement in the very next comment.
Getting tired of cliche comments means you’re stupid now?
It’s a Carlin quote, not a “cliche.”
It just give me a point of clarity in a crazy world. When people are being daft I just like to remember, probablity wise, I’m probably verbally fighting with a moron and morons are good at being dumb.
They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
Probability wise, stupidity is not necessarily a normal distribution.
And often they get away with it. See George Zimmerman killing Trayvon Martin.
When he called the 911 dispatcher, Hernandez said, “Some kid is punching my window, and I need assistance right now.”
When a dispatcher asked why someone would punch Hernandez’s window, he responded: “Well, because I work for ICE, I guess.”
Interesting that he seemingly has some awareness about how much ICE is detested. He’s so close to figuring it out.
Dispatcher: Have you tried not working for ICE?
I need someone here now, or else I’m going to have to shoot this kid,” said Israel D. Hernandez
Is it really not the onion? Really?
Sounds like an emergency call to his therapist, not 911
2029: “We’re going to have to execute all those ICE agents who killed US citizens & residents without justification in 2025, 2026, etc…”

“I need someone here now, or else I’m going to have to shoot this kid,” said Israel D. Hernandez
Can someone check on the writers and make sure they’re okay?
I mean, props to ICE for not just shooting the kid without warning, that elevates them to way under rock bottom.
Has ICE ever thought about talking to the kid, or maybe even not being there at all, or maybe even going back to the ICE facility and shooting every officer agent they see and then committing suicide?
Everything in that article makes it sound like Hernandez is a lying piece of shit.
Oddly enough, I believe nothing Hernandez said.
What a shithole.
Astute observation and excellent addition to the conversation
israel shot another kid. This time in Portland, Oregon.
With that kinda aggression and a weapon I’m afraid he’ll probably kill somebody eventually.
As if his first name is Israel
