I think bigred posted this in the wrong thread, so I'm going to respond here.
"Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
George Orwell Quote
I am so sick of the baloney polarized reporting about this ICE shooting. The lefty sites call it murder. The righty sites call it totally correct and justified. Trump made an apparently false statement about how bad the officer's injury was. For shock value, the left keeps repeating how the vehicle weighs two tons. Doh, I think most of us know that on our own. The right says the officer was "forced" to shoot. More baloney, right or wrong, he made a decision to shoot. Nobody was there forcing him to pull the trigger.
I'm of the opinion that he shouldn't have shot. In the split second he had to make the decision, he could have chosen to shoot, or get out of the way of the vehicle. They already knew who the woman was and could have arrested her later. I think what he did was a dumb game of chicken. He won it this time, but one of these days somebody who stands in front of a vehicle and shoots the driver is going to get flattened anyway.
