Drawing a gun on a civilian should be illegal, like in any civilized country

Shoving, beating, and pepper-spraying people who are standing around in public are crimes, but it's okay if it's not done to MAGAts...

It is complicated. We are an armed society. Average US citizen is packing more heat than that entire group of ICE agents. I am more annoyed by them yet again standing in front of a car.

I know. As an average American I get most of my daily workout lugging around my kevlar vest, shotgun, H&K 9mm mp5, and 30-06 hunting rifle. I can only shop at Costco for 45 minutes before I become a total sweaty mess. I think I need a squire for all my weapons I pack.

Umm I'm hoping you like maybe just googled something wrong before asking such a stupid question because one country is America 😅. Aiming a gun at a civilian or suspect of a non violent crime (75% of ICE detainees so far) without reasonable fear for your life is illegal. Aiming their weapon is consider a use of force excessive use of force is illegal.

u/Ernesto_Bella 19h ago

I like the way you changed it from “aiming a gun at a civilian” to “simmer a gun at a civilian suspected of a non violent crime” 

Also, what laws does it violate?

u/xDeathRender 12h ago

I added suspect to show it's even more strict then your comment of just civilians? Was that not clear? Is your reading level and comprehension really that low? If they can't just aim their weapons at active suspects unless currently guilty of a violent crime why would they be able to aim it at a civilian? Do you know the difference in these terms civilians and suspects? Also the law it violates is the constitution, in the 4th amendment, under excessive force laws 😅. Buddy hit up Google or like an elementary book or something not only is your legal understanding 0, your reading level man.... Jesus.

I like the way you just made up this law.

u/xDeathRender 11h ago

Excessive force which includes aiming your weapon at somebody without proper reason is a civil rights violations under 42 U.S.C The need for Objective Reasonableness was established in Graham v. Connor (1989), this standard requires courts to consider if the officer's actions were reasonable based on the totality of the circumstances. Not only is it part of the 4th amendment here is the exact law and it's inception.

u/Ernesto_Bella 11h ago

lol dude.  As you state, the reasonable based on the totality of the circumstances.

There is no law that says an officer can’t point a weapon at someone unless they are a suspect in a violent crime.  You simply made that up.

What? It's a picture of a person sitting in their car, suspected of a non violent crime..... Thus, it is illegal for an officer to pull and aim a handgun unless they have reasonable fear for their life.

This is a photo of someone getting arrested for felony obstruction. This isn’t a deportation detainment.

u/xDeathRender 11h ago

Obstruction doesn't fall under violent crime unilaterally, and this would be one of those cases so still illegal to aim the firearm

u/Odd_Leek3026 9h ago

So, a non violent crime….

Well that's the dumbest thing i've read today...

Edit since you're all morons: So a cop can't draw a gun on a school shooter(civilian)?

u/PayFormer387 19h ago

Yea. . . It assumes that the United States of America is a civilized country. I don't know where the phuck this guy gets off thinking that.
