“...leading one of the officers to fire at the suspect”
Good, that’s what you do when a knife wielding drunk advances on you.
The people attacking the cops here are hilarious. As far as I’m concerned, if you advance on someone with a knife, sober or drunk, then you just gave anyone around you permission to eliminate the threat.
I wonder how many Guatemalans were brutalized/murdered by the truly corrupt Guatemalan government/cops while our Guatemalan “immigrant” friends rioted here. Since this is obviously a hot issue with Guatemalans, it would seem like there should be at least one anti-police/gov riot per day in Guatemala. Or they’re whining, ungrateful hypocrites. Whatever. It’s definitely one or the other.
Exactly! If they tried this in Guatemala, they would become one of the "desaparecidos," i.e., "the disappeared." They are snatched from their homes in the night, tortured until they die and thrown in a mass grave. They come here and achieve freedom from that and look what they do. They actually trashed the front of a police station last night. In addition, they were getting on top of buildings in the neighborhood and dropping the following objects, hoping they would land on the police officers: air conditioners, televisions and microwaves, among other heavy objects that can kill.
