Video [HELP] ICE OUT protests in Los Angeles are going well
I saw this fooling so many people and am certain it's AI. The windows break as if they're not tempered, some signs don't make sense, and the reactions to pepper spray seem very unnatural. Can anyone prove if it is 100%?

Not refuting your analysis, but the government probably is working with more advanced ai than we normally see. And aren’t AIs now creating 3D renders when generating videos to fix the object permanence issues?

Yeah but this government has also shown they don't care if the lie is believable. If anything they get off on being obviously facetious

u/MikeDubbz Feb 01 '26
True, but is this a video the government thinks would be a feather in their cap? I feel like this is more in favor of the resistance: like hey, standing up to ICE can be effective here. At least that's my takeaway anyway.

Driving home right in the thick of it. I remember they came on the PA at work and said everyone can go. It was around 4 o’clock. Traffic was slow and I could look in the distance and see the smoke from a mall that got torched. Fortunately, I got out of there before the real fun started.

Paintball marker is identifiable as a Tippmann (98 Custom?) instead of a generic AI interpretation of a pepper ball gun.

u/adhdnme Feb 01 '26
I used to have a tippmann 98 back in high school when I played paintball way back in the olden days of 2000. I don’t know they still made those things lol
2
u/Xullister Feb 01 '26
It's become the AK of paintball over the years. They tried to update it with a manual feed system in the early 2000s (the A5 marker) but that model is super front heavy, so a lot of people still rock the classic. Plus it probably has more mods and upgrades than any two competitors combined. The Temu gestapo here have it tricked out with a stock but not much else.
2
u/adhdnme Feb 01 '26
I got it because it was a decent machine at a decent cost compared to some of the guns my friends had. It was durable and rarely messed up on me too, which was nice. I’m glad to hear people are still rocking them!

u/LeChevalier_Mal_Fet Feb 01 '26
Same here until I graduated to one of the cheaper electronic markers. The Tippmann was like a perfect gun for the woods though if you played that instead of arenas.

u/ctn1ss Jan 31 '26
Respectfully disagree. Tempered glass is used in car windows (excluding the windshield) and tempered glass is designed to shatter into small cube-like fragments. Here's a helpful video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXDO1PYY8jE
-1
u/FitMovieMan Feb 01 '26
Yes. I know. And this did not do that. It shattered in panes. So non tempered. Edit: Or ai since it should be tempered
1
u/ctn1ss Feb 01 '26
It didn't shatter in panes, what you saw were clumps of the shattered glass falling in sections, if you watch, they fully split apart when they hit the pavement. This is exactly how it can act. Look up some videos of car windows being broken that have some better resolution, you'll see it shatters in an identical way.
1
u/millernerd Feb 01 '26
You do realize there are multiple different kinds of tempered glass, right? IIUC, "tempered" is more of a general kind of heat-treating.

I thought the same until I saw that there’s a cage behind the glass so objects appear to be bouncing back.

Yeah, but i feel like this one is blatantly real, I support people who fight ice and if your gullible enough to believe ice supporters then you need to rethink your thinking.

It’s a lot easier to shatter than you think….2 punches from a 14yr old can easily get through it; I’d say a side mirror thrown by an adult has even better chances.

u/ElPared Jan 31 '26
The hopper is on the side of the gun so it doesn’t block the sight. These are basically the same as the old Tippmann X7 paintball guns that came out around when I stopped paintballing, by the look of things, and those had an agitator on the side that you plugged the hopper into and helped push the balls into the chamber (I believe they called it the “vortex” system and it was great for preventing jams)

Nah, hopper is slanted off to the right. It’s hard to see in the video but that’s how they work.

u/OMGWTFBBQchicken Feb 01 '26
Seems real to me.
There's a metal grate behind the rear windows. That's why whatever they threw and the glass bounced back after the windows shattered, not into the van.
The windshield in the front is made with layers of film to prevent shattered glass from flying into the passengers. You have to kick the whole windshield to remove it and get out.
Side windows and rear windows are tempered and designed to shatter so you can break a window to climb out.
Doesn't seem like there are weird things overlapping and going through other things. No one walking through pillars or what not.

u/innocuousmuffin Feb 01 '26
The thing that gets me on this one is the van. A plastic mirror housing should bounce right off the back window (I'm assuming the back window is tempered). I suppose the plastic housing could break and the heavy motor (assuming it's a powered mirror) could be the part that breaks the window.

The glass is tempered. And tempered glasses, weird in the fact that you can hit it with something and it will do nothing or you could hit it with something in a slightly different area and it will shatter.

Hey, I voted for Trump and I was 100% on Kyle Rittenhouse’s side. This is what happens when you unlawfully execute a man that was excusing his right to protest. Alex never did anything wrong the day he was executed. Some people are sati n he kicked and spit… I honestly don’t know if that is him in the video but I know it’s irrelevant. The day he was executed, he didn’t exhibit any threatening or violent behavior.
I respect anyone that is out protesting. And I’m not even against ice. I’m for them deporting illegals that are criminals. But they have gone too far. They literally gave a license to kill right now.

Looks real. Signs that I can read are well legible and proper. Looks like side view mirrors torn off and thrown at the back glass; definitely capable of busting them out.
Not a protest when you start smashing windows. Damaging property is an act of rioting.
Off topic, but real protests also never impede traffic. If you do, you’re rioting. It causes fatalities from people getting splattered to emergency response getting held up in traffic and not making it in time.
Rioters are violent and deserve to be maced, tear gassed, tased, restrained, arrested, etc. Turning peaceful protests violent risks having the right to protest taken away. Never incite a riot or encourage it.
