Here we go, again. A Border Patrol agent shot and killed a male Mexican on the US side of the border, not far from Naco, Arizona. The shooting happened on Friday and the Sheriff's Office said it began as a rock-throwing incident. I think it is safe to say it was not the agent throwing the rocks.
"The officer was in fear of his life and took the actions he deemed appropriate," Lt. Commander Mark Dannels said.
Yet, the Foreign Relations Department of Mexico condemned the shooting on Saturday saying "The department expresses its profound concern over this kind of disproportionate violence that results in the loss of human lives. Above all, when force is used against people who do not represent a threat to United States authorities.
How do they know if a threat existed or not? Have they done an investigation and even if they had who are they to determine what our law enforcement considers a threat and the reasonable and justifiable use of force? Would they allow us to determine that for Mexican authorities, not bloody likely! So here we go again with the Mexicans applying their double standard to international relations. The blame game behavior is typical for dysfunctional nations as well as individuals.
