> This person was trained extensively. Has that been established? Perhaps you have more faith in US police than I. > If most human beings would not assume that the driver was trying to attack the agent If you mean most human beings if in the agents place, then this has definitely not been established. And this particular agent was dragged by a car just a few months prior [1], so it's likely he was too trigger happy as a result. I do agree he has no business with a gun and badge, and there should probably be some criminal charges involved, but all in all it looks like an overreaction, not a cold-blooded execution as some try to frame it, and not much different than the many other borderline police shootings that happen every year. Their number can be reduced, but not eliminated. And contrary to popular belief, ranked by number of police killings per homicide, the US is comparable to most countries. > The safety of the citizens should be paramount. If you google for "killed by immigrant" [2], it's not at all clear that disregarding immigration law and leaving borders open doesn't harm citizen safety.
