Was covered here on FR
I never saw it
If I’m not mistaken this happened a few weeks ago and if anything, it shows a need for closer coordination between the border patrol and “militia”.
and missed?
What determines covered in Texas?

‘He was holding a gun, so I started shooting at him. I missed, but he dropped the gun, so I pulled my head out of my arse and stopped shooting and thought for a second.’
What was the man doing that made the cop feel justified in killing him?
Bill Jordan and his fellow officer and friend, my great uncle, are spinning in their graves.
I thought the Border Patrol guys were busy baking birthday cakes for the newly arriving illegal alien invaders. Read that here yesterday.
Border agents are not permitted to fire at illegal aliens coming across the border, so they have to have something to shoot at. A militia member is American, hence not an illegal alien. The world is upside down and gone crazy.
Remember the BP agents who went to prison for shooting a drug trafficker?
The rules of engagement are that if the Mexicans fire at U.S. officials, they have to run and hide and can’t fire back. It must be OK to fire at American citizens though.
My guess is that Eric Holder wants everyone except for the Border Patrol to leave so that the illegals can cross the border without hindrance. But I don’t know if he gave any specific orders to shoot at people they don’t want there.
Just glad nobody got hurt. These BP agents were actually chasing bad guys, some of whom may have been cartel related and therefore armed. Probably chasing bad guys against Obama’s orders to boot.
A good guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s a recipe for a friendly fire death.
I don’t envy our BP agents their jobs.
I also respect what our Texas militia is doing.
So again, just glad nobody got hurt. After all, friendly fire happens in the heat of battle, and this is a battle.
Shoot at the blankety-blank illegals, not the militia.
Put the US Army on the border.
2nd that!
And, Ft. Hood could start moving out tomorrow!
Was he shooting to kill, or just to get a firefight going?
