Of course, it had nothing to do with the fact that the illegals were breaking the law and evading police. Question: if it is unsafe to use the strips because of the danger to the 15-20 migrants in the vehicle, would logic dictate that the officer simply shoot the fleeing subject at the first inclination he was attempting to flee? One life vs 15-20 potential lives. How would activists view that?
Another carefully scripted sound-bite to generate sympathy for illegal aliens.
