Not at all. There's a difference between attacking American citizens on their own property, and defending one's self against illegal aliens who are attempting to kill you.

"Not at all. There's a difference between attacking American citizens on their own property, and defending one's self against illegal aliens who are attempting to kill you."

In the situation that entailed here, by the time the Cobra would have been legitimately weapons free, it would have already crashed from the thrown rock. Therefore, the Cobra would need to be "weapons free" against any group of "suspected illegal immigrants" they found. The basic principle you uphold here is really no different than what the BATF proudly upheld at Waco--that law enforcement agencies are there to be judge, jury, and executioner against whatever class of criminal is unpopular with the Executive Branch.

Imagine President Hillary Clinton making use of your butched-up Border Patrol against "suspected illegal immigrant smugglers" who just happen to also be "right-wing terrorist extremists." Remember, the military got called in to help incinerate Waco because of an alleged (and nonexistent) drug lab.
