So we are allowing African refugees with mental problems to immigrate to the United State

You sound shocked.

It is already happening at the border between San Diego and Tijuana. There are hordes of Africans arriving daily in Tijuana. I have seen it with my own eyes. Judicial Watch published the story linked above. Please spread the word. Hardly anybody knows about the secret agreements to allow African refugees pass through Latin American countries to get to the U.S.

“Guns down refugee”?

The officer shot in self defense and the mentally deranged
‘refugee’ doesn’t have a mental problem or any other problem
now.

“Give us your tired, your poor, your mentally unbalanced suicidal nut-jobs yearning to harass and threaten officers of the law...”

Isn’t that kind of how it goes?

Somebody had to pay or his trip across the Big Pond. My guess is us, the taxpayers.

“”” Same as he would get if he pulled that crap on me.

Good shoot. One less threat.””

Except you’d be in jail where cops can shoot on the mere perception of a threat. ROE’s for LEO’s: Shoot first then analyze the threat.

That officer fired his handgun and a second officer, farther away, simultaneously fired his electric stun gun

Two officers on the scene. One felt the situation could be handled with his Tazer and the other felt the situation required deadly force. Why the different conclusions?

I guess things have changed because our daughter lived there for both school and later a three year stint as an expat, and she had “a green card.” She was a second level speaker in Japanese, did make a six-figure salary none of which was paid to her in Japan, but she wasn’t married a Japanese man. She did marry her college sweetheart later on and his mother was Japanese-American who had never lived in Japan.
All that said, you won’t see ANY Africans there. Some Indians (when you get tired of Japanese food there’s always an Indian restaurant), but no MIddle Easterners.
