    “That very ICE officer nearly had his life ended … six months ago,” Vance said, referring to a car-dragging incident with the agent.

    “You think maybe he’s a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him?”

    Then maybe he shouldn’t be back out in the fucking field yet.

      Too bad it was nearly, or Renee would probably be alive.

      Maybe hes too incompetent to be i the field, considering hes put himself in harms way twice now in the same way.

      Not to mention maybe don’t approach the front of a vehicle that was already in the process of trying to move before you stood in front of it?

        How else do you get to shoot people?

        Step 1: find moving car

        Step 2: Jump in front or back of it depending on its direction.

        Step 3: shoot when they don’t stop.

        Step 4: my life was in danger I had to shoot them!

        Agreed. Though I would add, HE really wanted to do it himself, of his own sociopathy and deep insecurities, or he would have taken the much easier route and ignored them, letting someone else have the shot. He had to break inertia to unholster his gun.

        You’re right, his superiors all the way up the chain absolutely wanted him to do it: they are desperate to the point of insane about avoiding midterms now.

        But make no mistake. HE really wanted to do it, and do it under the cover of law. HE wanted to shoot an unarmed person who presented no threat and to know he got away with it, plus get whatever bonus people get for doing their dirty work.
