"There might be some immature knuckleheads who think they are out there trying to capture Nicolas Maduro, but most field officers see a clear need for deescalation,”

Hey, it's just some immature knuckleheads, not a bunch of state sanctioned murderers! Nothing to see here.

“There is genuine fear that indeed ICE’s heavy handedness and the rhetoric from Washington is more creating a condition where the officers’ lives are in danger rather than the other way around.”

Yep, there's the real issue. The goons are afraid for their lives, when it's SUPPOSED to be the stupid civilians in mortal fear..! Won't someone think of the poor Brown Shirts?!

"In a nutshell, it’s ‘Us versus them’ on steroids and I think some Border Patrol agents are more willing to use force and not feel restrained when you got DHS leadership lying to cover for them."

Jeez, it's almost like they set the scene for this very outcome. 007, here's your license to kill.
