Fleeing law enforcement is defiance of the law.
Much like shooting an unarmed, fleeing suspect in the back is against the law.
What is amazing here is how the main point is being ignored. THIS DRUG SMUGGLER was entering our country ILLEGALLY and entering it to sell drugs, which is also illegal. If he had entered legally, and entered for a positive reason, he would never been shot at.
There is no defense for his actions, he should be prosecuted and put in prison. After that, he should be deported.
