    The guy should have been arrested anyway. Even the supposed infraction, “she was following me!”, is not something you should be pulling a gun for

      I have a feeling they’re in bed together.

      And those uneducated highschool dropout bloodthirsty ICE agents seem to have been granted complete lawless freedom to run amok fucking up everyone everywhere they go.

      Unlikely to happen, because it means they’d be vulnerable to accountability too.

    I can think of at least 5 road rage incidents within a few miles of my house over the last decade, in which people were murdered by a road rager with a gun. Some of them have never been caught, and never will be.

    If I’m a cop, and I see a guy exit his vehicle and point his gun at the driver in the car behind him, I’m going to shoot that guy immediately.

    Even if I’m not a cop, my state has very strong Stand Your Ground Laws, and if a citizen were to kill a road rager who was pointing a gun at another driver, they’d certainly get away with it.

    The dead guy being an ICE agent might complicate it a bit, but it shouldn’t.

      Yea but the guy pointing the gun was white. If it was an unarmed black or brown guy. He would have been shot before he got out of the car.

    Using “undercover” as if he’s concealing his employer in order to take on the mob rather than attendants at a carwash.

    If the ICE agent would be not white, I’m sure cop would just shot him without questions.

          How much farther? They’ve gone about as far as they can go without implementing gas chambers and still people are fretting over anything violent happening to them.
