    Unless there is indisputable video of this exactly as the thugs claim I will not give them the benefit of the doubt. They are trained to outright lie about circumstances.

    The Department of Homeland Security said in a news release that the officer was trying to arrest a man who had a history of reckless driving, but he refused officers’ orders and instead drove his car at them. An ICE officer who was hit and dragged by the car felt his life was threatened and opened fire, the department said.

    Federal goons tried to disappear a motorist with a post-facto justification of “public safety,” and the motorist chose Door #2.

      How do we know that officer’s definition of reckless driving actually matches the State’s definition. There are 50 different States with varying traffic laws, ICE is federal and traffic law has nothing to do with their jurisdiction.

      Unless they had an immigration-related reason for attempting to detain him, everything should be ignored. They had no reason to even accost the man.

    I don’t believe one of these losers was hit and dragged by the car, then was able to get a shot off to kill the driver like John Wick.
