Looks like an air canister on the barrel and a banana feed on the top.

I don't think I'd seen a gravity-fed one before, not that I'm any expert on less-lethal rounds.

And I saw these white vans being transported to south towards LA on multiple trucks. I wondered if they were for ICE use and seeing this picture confirmed it. Saturday we left Arizona and drove to a hotel on the bottom of the grapevine. While we were driving I saw a white van and saw a bunch of men in the van who were Hispanic. One guy saw me staring at this van and lifted up his hands and he had handcuffs on. He didn’t look like a criminal and he looked so sad.

Grrr I hate this country now and this administration. It’s so evil and despicable!

Is it really a change, or is it just a return to form?

Kidnapping unarmed civilians going to work or the grocery is all they can handle.

That is all they can do.

And to arrest them they have to beat them up.

ICE has no skills, courage, or strength at all.

They are duds.

Just imagine being a fully grown man and doing this evil shit just because you are too fucking afraid to quit doing this evil shit! This is a collection of cowards and chickenshits! My Father and all my Uncles fought the real Nazis to stop those god damn, goosestepping,Fascist Monsters from doing this same identical evil shit. All of them would barf, upchuck, throw-up and vomit just looking at this evil shit happening here courtesy of our own evil Nazi Fascists here in the Fuhrer-Turd's Amerika.
