Except that they have in the past. Coast guard shows up in a big ass boat with guns, they don’t fight back. If drugs are found, they are confiscated, people are interrogated, leads to the organizational structure are worked on, etc. This was just murder. There is a strong reason for due process.
If you have a proper judicial process, some mistakes are caught. On the other hand, extra judicial killings have no recourse for mistakes.
Even the best processes and well intentioned humans make mistakes. Extra judicial process is a recipe for humanitarian disaster.
Unknown number of innocent people will be murdered in cold blood without remorse if such a policy is adopted.
I respect the sentiment, but there’s no way in hell these guys would surrender to law enforcement.
