This was the right move. One agent doesn't make a material difference, letting him die wouldn't have impeded ICE one bit. In the bigger picture, it has more of an impact as a story.
As a story it could have been an agent dying due to a medical emergency that no one could have done anything about.
This action changes it so that the detainees were caring and compassion and competent. By contrast, it exposes the agencies lack of training, falling to recognize the situation and not knowing what to do and letting detainees have control of the firearm. They showed ICE as incompetent and targetting obviously good folk.
On a smaller scale, it spares them. Who knows, maybe this event gives some of the agents involved some pause about how bad they are being.
No
That sounds like a great storyline, for a cop drama on CBS. One less agent is a net positive, no matter which way you look at it.
Who’s to say that that particular agent doesn’t later blind a protester? Or worse, kill one? Or maybe he just abducts a 5 year, and puts them on a plane to Louisiana?
They just killed another person in Minneapolis. But yeah, let’s patch up the brown shirts.
There is no logical reason to give aid or comfort to the enemy. These aren’t protesters that say mean things that we don’t like. They are a secret police, and their boot’s are on the neck’s of every person who lives in this country.
If you want to start your own club that goes around and makes sure that your oppressors are comfortable in their crusade against liberty, go right on ahead.
Helping them en masse would materially contribute to their capability, but responding to an isolated health event isn't going to help them, certainly not more than the story as it played out undermined them.
Certainly for the detainees, this was a better outcome. They actually honored their rights after what they did, when they clearly were on a trajectory to deny them contact, and even got released.
Yeah this is going nowhere.
Aiding them in any capacity is a betrayal to all of those whose live’s ICE has taken away, destroyed.
You are not expected to enjoy the moment you let them fall. You could very well be saving an entire family by letting nature take its course.
