ICE shoots “alleged gang member,” says he “weaponized” his vehicle
After shooting a man in California, ICE declared him an “alleged gang member” and says he “weaponized” his vehicle. At some point, they will need a new script.
“As officers approached the car, the wanted gang member weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run an officer over,” Lyons said in the statement. “Following their training, our officers fired defensive shots to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and the public.”
The FBI is at the scene of the shooting, the statement added.
Step one: pull the trigger. Step two: write the story. Step three: hand it to the FBI, and everyone gets off scot-free, except the person who took a bullet.
Not entirely so in Chicago, where they did get a good telling off because their story “did not match the known facts”.
