This is probably not going to be a popular post. I don't care, I really need to say this, flame away and down vote if you must.
Pretti made some very bad decisions that day. Bringing a handgun to this mess was a irresponsible act as a gun owner, legal or otherwise. I won't go into all of the reasons for saying that.
Physically interfering with ICE is simply said, the act of a fool. Doing this while carrying a handgun is in my opinion an incredible possible fatal endeavor. One can say FAFO. And if you feel that way, I will say you're right....
The city and I'm pretty sure the entire state is making sure that there is zero cooperation law enforcement wise in securing a perimeter during these illegal alien extractions. Sadly it's their constitutional right to do nothing. I think we all know why there's no help to keep the peace during these missions. Again, I won't go into all of that.
The ICE agents involved in this terrible shooting made mistakes. It was mishandled in the worst possible way. The man was already disarmed. Now I know that the job that ICE have to do especially given the opposition put in front of them is a dangerous stressful undertaking. Of a magnitude that I'm sure I can't even begin to comprehend. These guys are being doxxed and the useful idiots are already there when ICE arrives. There's funding for all of this and cooperation in many ways from corrupt anti American entities.
The communists in my opinion, have finally gotten what they really really wanted. Another maurter. There's a big difference between the Good and Pretti shootings, let's face it. This most recent one was just plain wrong.
Trump has to get in front of the cameras right now and make a statement. To delay this is a huge mistake. This is potentially a guarantee that the midterms will be a disaster for Patriots. In my opinion Trump has to say that it looks bad and that there might be charges brought to involved ICE agents.
From what I have seen, this was a completely unjust shooting. From the first shot to what? The eleventh shot? I understand, the heat of the moment and fear and stress... But there was a huge mistake made.
Thanks for letting me voice my opinion on this matter.
Come on John. Officers were in a hostile environment with seconds to act. Agitators all around them. Yes, in a perfect world this man would still be alive.
But look at all the officers over time who did not react in time. Start in cemetaries
Don't get me wrong, I get it.
The broader question to which I am speaking is "do you want to live in a country where there's NO accountability for deadly force that IS found to be improper?"
This wasn't improper.
Choices have consequences. A whole list of bad choices resulted in the ultimate consequence.
The epitome of FO after FA.
No, and I think this was a tragic shooting.
But I also empathize with the officers involved. I cannot imagine the stress they must have been under with all that was happening around them.
They were on high alert to being attacked from all around. Their situation was just untenable.
