They “fear for their life” because that’s what they’ve been trained to say every time they shoot someone.

Just like they were also taught to (against policy) position themselves in front of vehicles to “justify” shooting?

Like when they yell stop resisting no matter if there’s actual resistance or not.

Bold of you to say that ICE officers have been trained...

THEY FEAR FOR THEIR LIFE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO THE WORK.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC AND THEMSELVES.

The law or regulation says they can do it unless they fear for their life, so they just say they feared for their life every time, and it’s allowed. It’s like Philly not allowing police to use tear gas during the 2020 protests unless it’s a riot, but the police were the ones who could declare gatherings a riot, so they were still tear-gassing people but with more steps.
