FULL TITLE: Border Patrol officer shoots dead a 19-year-old illegal immigrant trying to enter the country in shocking moment caught on video - then the agency flip flops on the reason why

A 19-year-old Guatemalan immigrant has been shot dead by a US Border Patrol agent.

Claudia Patricia Gomez Gonzalez died on Wednesday in Rio Bravo, Texas, after an unidentified agent came across her and three others whom he suspected had entered the country illegally.

As he tried to take the group into custody they reportedly charged at him and tried to attack him 'using blunt objects'.

Highly unlikely that he “just shot her”.

Highly likely that the mob of illegal alien assaulted him, and he shot.

Attacks by multiple assailants are a form of deadly force, even if they do not have weapons in hand.

More people are murdered with hands and feet in the United States than with rifles.

What kind of title is that? It should be Border Patrol Shoots Illegal Who Was Attacking Him.

No, and the excuse they are looking for a better life doesn’t hold water. Many thieves and murderers are looking for a better life. They are law breakers. Shoot more , they ‘ll stop coming here.

How is this any different than if one decides to rob a gas station, act as if they had a gun, got nervous or edgy and gas station attendant blows them away and it is found they have a cell phone in pocket?

Get enough of these incidents and the crap will end swiftly.

This woman cop in MD that just got KIA last week now has the murderers lawyer asking WHY she figured she had to draw her weapon when approaching his client.

He ran over her while he was in possession of the ‘get away’ car while a few of his playmates were ransacking a house and SHE was responding to a call that one of the neighbors made about the activity.

Suspect 16 and supposedly has had more time in court than most 60 year old lawyers.

So, in that community, if cop draws weapon while you are committing a felony, said cop is fair game to be run over and killed...

Of course when this dreg of a cretin gets released because of the Officers (DEAD) acts, his lawyer will be screaming that Cops had no ‘right’ to go in with guns blazing the NEXT time he is engaged in such activities.

I know it isn’t right, but there was a time when a cop killer had to FEAR FOR HIS OWN WELL BEING as everyone in the neighborhood was after him, cops AND the miscreants that had set up shop in same neighborhood...WHEN the other cops started going door to door and arresting EVERYONE and EVERYTHING for so much as littering.

The perp would eventually ‘show up’ as the poster read “Wanted Dead or Alive”...Paladin

"• At a press conference in Guatemala City on Friday they pleaded with the US to stop treating migrants 'like animals'"

MEANWHILE IN OTHER NEWS:

"MS-13 suspect who allegedly killed man, burned body entered US as 'unaccompanied alien child'"

T-Shirt suspect wearing at time of capture steps on that PR message

Unlike Bush, I doubt Trump will sit back and let our agent be railroaded into jail.

“She was a young woman likely in search of a better life who was crossing illegally, but while she can’t break the law, he also can’t shoot her. If she was attacking him, he could, but if he just shot her, that would be wrong. We don’t support shooting unarmed people. He will, if he did this without cause, be charged with her death.”

And if they run away...then what, let them into the country?

In any case, it sounds like we need to change the rules of engagement a bit, and join the rest of the world where you have hostile borders - you shoot on sight, if your commands are not listened to. And no, I don’t want a bloodbath down there either, so we LET THEM KNOW, if it means buying a week of radio advertising on every station south of the border, so be it (and it probably costs next to nothing).

Bottom line needs to be: We won’t shoot if you LISTEN AND OBEY, but we will otherwise.

he also can’t shoot her.

Of course he can, he was being attacked with blunt objects" it's called self defense...

Or would you prefer a dead border patrol agent?

You probably do!!!
