SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS MAN STILL HAS A JOB? Brenden Cuni, the same ICE agent seen on video brandishing a rifle at the scene of the shooting in NY, where officers shot an unarmed man in front of his 5-year-old child, was also filmed kneeling on a pregnant woman in Minneapolis last December.

Not really sure the guy who as recently as Nov 2025 dismissed Epstein's crimes and the extended cover up for them as a QAnon tier hoax and then was revealed to have attended at least one event Epstein was at in 2011 really *wants* us asking "what do YOU do here, Mr. Brooks?"
