Bodycam and security footage shows Border Patrol agent fighting Long Beach police

[MarineCombatEngineer]

Another entitled ICEhole who thinks he's above the law.
I guess he received the ultimate reprimand in the end.

Kudos to the Long Beach Police for getting this ICEhole off the streets.

[2naSalit]

1. And then...

After his release he died of a suspected drug overdose.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

3. Yep, that's what I meant by the ultimate reprimand.

[2naSalit]

5. Ah...

[spudspud]

29. Nope, you are wrong.

Hodgson, the agent in the video, indeed died from an overdose per his attorney. The video in the post also literally says Hodgson died after his release from jail and his attorney confirmed in court he died from a drug overdose.

24. My first thought...

...when watching the video was that he sounded drunk when they were trying to arrest him.

[groundloop]

2. At the end of the video we learn that this guy was released and later died of a drug overdose.

ICE is doing one hell of a great job vetting who they hire.

[Stacey Grove]

6. No shit, huh?

Wow.

What a piece of shit that motherfucker WAS.

I have to wait to get home to watch the video, my work computer at the office doesn't have speakers.

[Stacey Grove]

4. At some point we taxpayers will have to bankroll

the PTSD treatment for these chumps.

[UpInArms]

7. I realize that the thugs who are abusing people

have very little foresight and have little to no sympathy for them

That pos whining that people hate him … maybe one shouldn’t do hateful things

[Mr. Evil]

22. Exactly!

Thank you.

[malaise]

8. He died of a drug overdose

Nice recruits

[Ilsa]

26. Please read earlier posts. The US citizen

he/ICE arrested died from an overdose.

[spudspud]

30. Nope.

You are wrong. That poster you're referring to was also wrong.

[Johnny2X2X]

9. These people are evil, to a man they signed up for ICE because they get off on hurting vulnerable people

In a just world, every single one of them would be charged for their crimes.

[YodaMom2]

34. I'm willing to extend grace to *some* of them

and suggest they didn’t sign up because they got off on hurting people, but because the job a) was easy to get due to nearly non-existent standards, and b) paid better than any other job available to an unqualified, unskilled person. They’re doing it for the money.

Not exactly the moral high ground, but not evil either. Now, if they start thugging it up like their ICE compatriots, then they’ve allowed themselves to be corrupted by the evil they’re swimming in.

10. So maybe LEO will start to defend us from ICE and rogue sheriffs?

[58Sunliner]

11. He was able to afford his drug habit thanks to assaults and kidnappings.

Makes you wonder how many doped psychos are out committing crimes with a gun and badge under ICE/BP. Is there no drug testing? Probably a silly question.
Our vets have to fight for healthcare and these people will probably get long-term benefits.

[Irish_Dem]

14. ICE is probably supplying the drugs.

Makes these guys more violent with poor judgement and impulse control.

[Shellback Squid]

12. zed's dead

[MarineCombatEngineer]

17. Great movie.

[IronLionZion]

13. Why was he in a women's restroom with a gun?

Anyone else find that part a bit weird?

more info on this:

https://ktla.com/news/local-news/border-agent-seen-in-viral-arrest-of-u-s-citizen-fatally-overdosed-lawyer-says/

On July 7, Hodgson, the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office alleged, was drunk at the Yard House restaurant on Long Beach’s waterfront, where a woman saw him in the women’s restroom, his gun and ammunition clip visible.

He quickly put the weapon in his waistband, allegedly brushed the woman aside and called her “sweetie” while asking her on a date, The Post reported.

A security guard called 911 after Hodgson was told to leave the restaurant and was then seen pacing around the parking lot, his gun and holster in hand. Security footage captured the off-duty federal agent stashing his firearm behind a palm tree as officers with the Long Beach Police Department were responding with lights and sirens.

31. They glossed over that part in the report on purpose. They wanted to push the whole "tragedy" angle

for sympathy for these Brown shirts.

[IronLionZion]

35. In his tearful video at the police station he definitely thinks he's the victim

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. Dude sounds intoxicated

Good riddance- I hope this story goes viral.

Of course, the Trump administration will use it to justify agents wearing masks.

[Clouds Passing]

16. He sounded drunk. A drunk leo with a gun, what could go wrong?

[2na fisherman]

18. Gangsters With Badges

How many BP agents are on the pad of the drug cartels? And how many are doing drugs? There should be mandatory drug testing to keep their job. And they should have their finances monitored to see suspicious spikes in cash transactions or the opening of foreign bank accounts. It will take a national task force to clean up these federal law enforcement agencies after the Dems return to the White House. Such breaches of trust in LEO's must be repaired. And law enforcement people may once again return to being respected as "peace officers" as demonstrated by these Long Beach officers.

[Aviation Pro]

19. Well, bye...

And....

[Stacey Grove]

20. Indeed

good riddance to bad rubbish.

[angrychair]

21. Screw that guy

I would never harm anyone but I'm not going cry about people like this harming themselves.

[Ilsa]

25. I hope the LB Police weren't careful to duck his head

when they put him in the car. Just like Metamucillini said.

[Dr. T]

27. ICE snowflake.

They can dish it out, but they can't take it.

[Walleye]

28. Yep, that's the real Hallmark of a bully. Can sure dish it out, sure can't take it.

[Martin68]

32. This is great! Totally exposes what kind of out-of-control dickwads ICE is employing in their national terror program.

Hiding his government-issued firearms! Refusing to comply with police during his arrest! Sobbing like a snowflake while in police custody! dying from a drug overdose soon afterward! No professional could have constructed a worse PR event to discredit ICE.

[CanonRay]

33. Happy ending!

36. Trolling the ladies room

looking for a date? Messed up dude?
