The recent shooting in Minnesota

  There are no links that go with this post. But that doesn't mean I haven't watched some videos of what happened.

  This may be one of those situations that may require a lot of close study in order to come to a conclusion about anything.

  One thing that has grabbed me a bit after reading a lefty blog, which had the usual "murder" accusations against the ICE officers.  From what I can see of the videos, it isn't cut and dried, either way.

  A caveat is in order.  I haven't watched and studied this to the greatest possible extent.  I'll just comment on one thing: I think that the left WANTS there to be incidents like this so that they can use it.

  But was there any excessive use of force?  From what I can see, I cannot tell.

  The left doesn't want anybody to look at this guy's associations.  It appears that he is part of a network of people who have dedicated themselves to harassing and interfering with law enforcement.  There's no way that this can be condoned. Indeed, if the guy had followed the law closely, the situation could have been avoided.  If the local authorities were more cooperative, this could have been avoided.  You could list the number of mistakes this guy made, but for some reason, a law enforcement officer is expected to be absolutely perfect.

  Bias can creep in.  I am more in favor of immigration laws being enforced.  It is quite clear that the political left wants it to stop.  You could fall on either side of that bias.

  This is not cause for ICE to be pulled back out of there.  That would be a big mistake.  I don't think that additional training is going to make any difference.  It would seem that they should be more cooperative about law enforcement, as opposed to agents not being trained well enough.  But if they want more training, then provide the funds.  But they probably want to deny the funding.

  Anyway, all of this could've been predicted.  There are those who want bad things to happen.  That so that they could use it for political goals.



Quick update:

Ok, I found a link that can go with it. Also, I will try to embed. But these embeds don't always work. Folks may not like to have their pages embedded in another page. Ok. So, here we go.
