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.

ICE and DHS are arguably the two least professional agencies and both were created as PR for Bush after 9/11.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow i think you missed my point. My point was to not stoop to the level of folks like sunsporter and make assumptions.

@trollslayer For what it is worth as someone who comes from a family of military and cops and having worked for a security company made up of ex military and cops I don't claim to be an expert but I do know enough to know what went down here was amateur hour based on the video evidence.

@trollslayer Remember that same military also counted Pete Hegseth and JD Vance among them, and the sadists who worked at Abu Graib and Gitmo.

A uniform unfortunately does not mean uniform discipline and competence.

And to me this feels like someone who got away with something before.
