I think the proper way to frame this is to wonder what would happen to a citizen who was shot at from and returned fire to a vehicle full of illegal immigrants, killing a couple.
I don’t think we want police sharpshooters in helicopters shooting at cars, even illegal immigrants cars. Maybe it’s just me.
DPS troopers are the only law enforcement in the Rio Grande Valley region permitted to open fire during chases.
A little more of that kind of thing and we could see our border and illegal aliens problems diminish.
Works for me. Criminals shouldn't complain if they have to deal with the consequences of their illegal activity.
I wish people would raise as much of an uproar when illegals kill American citizens.
NICE shootin’ Tex!
Trooper was shooting to disable...
Seems like a very bad idea to try that from a helicopter with a moving vehicle full of people...
Can’t understand the thinking here. This is a tough shot even for a sniper...

Turns out this vehicle was full of Guatemalans, eight of them. No Mexicans except maybe the driver
A Guatemalan diplomat has released the identities of two immigrants killed last week when a state police helicopter fired on their smuggler’s truck north of La Joya.
Alba Caceres, Guatemala’s consul in McAllen, says the victims were Marco Antonio Castro and Jose Leonardo Coj Cumar, of San Martin Jilotepeque, about an hour outside the capital.
Caceres expressed her government’s indignation and made a formal request for a thorough investigation to the Texas Rangers on Friday. She was trying to interview survivors. She didn’t know when the bodies would be released to the families, but said it could be delayed by the investigation.
