Don't bring rocks to a gunfight.

quote:

Under current policy, agents can use deadly force if they have a reasonable belief that their lives or the lives of others are in danger. Agents were attacked with rocks 185 times in the 2012 fiscal year, making it the No. 2 type of assault, according to the Department of Homeland Security inspector general. They responded with gunfire 22 times and with less-than-lethal force—such as pepper spray and batons—42 times. The rock-thrower was pronounced dead at the scene; it's unclear how many times he was shot, but the agent fired at least twice.

Throwing rocks at a person with a gun is smart.

Also, cute to use the word "migrant."

Go to Mexico, throw a pea-sized piece of gravel at a Federalie and see what happens.

"Migrants" also throw rocks at passing trucks on lease roads late at night in an attempt to make people crash so they can rob and kill them. Shattered my windshield once. .

Just downtrodden souls trying to live the dream.

We should make this guy an instructor of future agents. If we loosened the rules of engagement shite would change. Take all the dirty cops that abuse Americans civil rights and ship their arse to the border so they can bully the illegals.

Well the rock guy gets the Red Foreman Dumbass Award.

Posthumously of course.
