A federal agent is facing felony assault and child endangerment charges in Riverside County after being caught on camera detaining a 17-year-old boy at gunpoint. The teenager was headed home from a house party on November 10 at the time of the confrontation

Video footage of the encounter—obtained by the law firm Kirakosian Law, and shared exclusively with L.A. TACO—shows off-duty federal agent Gerardo Rodriguez wearing shorts and standing outside of his home on Daybrook Terrace just after 10 p.m. in an affluent part of Temecula, where houses sell for over $2 million.

As a 17-year-old driver in a pickup truck drives towards Rodriguez, the federal agent is seen retrieving a firearm from his waistband and pointing the gun at the teen.

1. Why was that f*cker standing in the middle of the road?

2. Still awaiting the inevitable

ICE (or pseudo-ICE) agent who "crossed the line" so badly he ended up shot in self defense by a "stand-your-ground"er.

That may be another reason they prefer to persecute blue-staters. They're afraid red-staters would be more likely to be armed and shoot at warrantless would-be-kidnappers.

3. "off-duty federal agent" ... overzealous piece of shit is more like it.

4. From the article

Snip-"Greg Kirakosian, a Los Angeles-based civil rights attorney who is representing the 17-year-old, told L.A. TACO that there was a house party down the street from where Rodriguez lives and that there were two cars driving in front of his home prior to the incident with his client, which prompted the off-duty agent to come outside armed with a firearm."


snip-"During the detainment, neighbors who overheard Rodriguez yelling came out and begged Rodriguez to stop what he was doing, Kirakosian said.

After detaining and questioning the teen for nearly 20 minutes, Rodriguez eventually let the 17-year-old go without charging him or citing him with anything."

snip-"Rodriguez was booked for assault by a public officer, assault with a deadly weapon, and child endangerment, according to jail records. The 46-year-old posted bail the same day he was arrested (Nov. 11) and is due back in court on December 26."

7. People like this need to not be in law enforcement.

And they need to not be armed.
