Over the past decade, US immigration agents have shot and killed more than two dozen people. Not a single agent appears to have faced criminal charges.
Also completely disregards the credible fear of having an armed federal agent pointing a gun at you. Any reflexive act to preserve life and liberty suddenly becomes justification for your own death.
This is the part I’ve never quite understood. If you don’t trust the person pointing the gun to not shoot you, you have no reason to comply. Everything is self defense.
This exact question got me kicked from the jury pool for a murder trial. If you’re dead, how do we know if you felt threatened like the gun holder claims to have been? You obviously were the one under threat, but now you’re dead!
