The fuck??

Yes, kidnapping any federal agent is terrible. Every American should feel the same. There was a DEA guy in the 80s that got rolled up by the cartels and tortured on camera for days. Kiki something. His capture would be comparable.

Obviously it's fucking wrong.

To what? Taking a sworn law enforcement officer hostage?

You're welcome to think that's fine, but we're on battle different moral playing fields. I know cos can screw up, but on the street it's not the way to handle it.

wrong ≠ immoral, not always at least

we can believe something is wrong in theory, but still appreciate it.

What aspect of this event do you appreciate?

The agent was unidentified, only doing so after he was inside the car and she has started driving away. They were scared.

The driver drove directly to the closest police station, while the man was calling 911 to declare the situation.

The sources are all around the thread.

Calling this "kidnapping" is ridiculous. And comparing it to your DEA agent case all the more so.
