I read some police departments allow it, some don’t. I never thought of border agents. Sort of bad we allow certain actions against citizens, but not illegal immigrants.
We are not even allowed to tackle someone who is running without having to write a memo for use of force. I am not talking about hurting someone, but someone is running from you out in the middle of no where and performing a controlled take down(what it use to be called). Most people don’t run but if they do these day we can’t do much except maybe ask them to stop.
Most people don’t realize that crossing the border is only a misdemeanor so unless someone assaults you it is not considered appropriate to use force.
