Decade-old probe found immigration agents stepped in front of cars to justify shooting

Immigration agents were faulted more than a decade ago for tactics that have fallen under intense scrutiny in the wake of a fatal shooting of a motorist in Minneapolis.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection attempted to block a scathing 21-page report in 2014 that found agents had deliberately stepped in the path of cars to justify shooting at drivers and fired gunshots in frustration at individuals throwing rocks from the Mexican side of the border, reported the Los Angeles Times in February 2014.

“It is suspected that in many vehicle shooting cases, the subject driver was attempting to flee from the agents who intentionally put themselves into the exit path of the vehicle, thereby exposing themselves to additional risk and creating justification for the use of deadly force,” stated that report, which was commissioned more than a decade ago by CBP.

1. If some Ice-hole tries that with me, I'll shut the engine off.

It won't stop one of those murderous scumbags from shooting me. But the video will show I wasn't going to run him over. Good obviously wasn't going to do that, but the slimy cowards tried to convince us all that she did.
