Completely untrue. Many have come back with a whole host of other reasons, including the van being in a border location well known for drug trafficking, seeing water marks at the location the van was first seen, the perpetrator leading the BP agents on a 10 minute high speed chase through the greater Fabens area, the suspect failing to respond to a multitude of orders to "stop" (Parate!), the suspect ignoring the threat of armed weapons being pointed at him in the process, the suspect advancing on a BP agent in a threatening manner, and the BP agents stating they thought they saw a gun.
Three things are absolutely paramount in their minds, that he was hispanic, that he was a Mexican illegal and that he was transporting marijuana, as if any of them, even IF known at the time of the shoot, justifies an LEO shooting to kill anyone.
The only thing that seems paramount is your obvious avoidance of recognizing the positions posted by freepers over and over, instead replacing your own biased, baseless allegations for the written record.
Two out of three of those are positions based on racial bigotry, so I’m going with the odds.
Yet none of the things I mentioned (and others have mentioned ad nauseum on these threads) have anything to do with bigotry. Keep on ignoring them. You're just looking silly.
I will go further
You really should stop. There's an old saying: When you're in a ditch, quit digging.
if the perp was some white kid from the burbs trying to make a quick score and he was shot in the back while running away from the police, many of the same R&C supporters on these threads would be screaming about jackbooted government thugs the way they scream the same about Sutton, the DHS and DOJ.
Wrong. If Aldrete-Davila had been white, I would think the same thing I do about the R&C event. But that’s just my own personal conclusion.
Forgot to delete the part from your post.
You are confusing "reasons" with "excuses." The only "reason" a law enforcement officer can use to justify deadly force is his belief that his life or other lives are in danger.
"I suspected he was running drugs" is never a reason for a law enforcement officer to shoot at someone. It's an important distinction to understand.
