The ICE officer who killed a Minnesota woman is a war veteran who spent over a decade working for DHS

I think it is important to not immediately demonize or convict someone before knowing anything about him.

No, he is not an untrained “proud boy” who was hired a few months ago. He is former military, a veteran, and chose law enforcement as his career. That is a respectable career path. He is a husband, and a father, and lives locally.

I’m sure we will learn more, but I hoping people leave his wife and kids alone.

Thank you for posting this. This is the best & most revealing coverage I have seen to date.

@KunsanVeteran i felt the need because I know public servants (forest service, BLM, game wardens) who have been demonized and categorized by the actions of others or unsubstantiated conspiracies (usually from the right). Yes, I disagree with ICE’s tactics and mission, but I am not going to assume things about ICE agents based upon that.

@trollslayer I fully concur. The post you made filled in some gaps and confirmed some of my suppositions of what the most likely course of events were in this highly chaotic incident.
