"Alvarado's husband, Gilbert Alvarado said he wants the shooting investigated.

"I want justice. Yes. Whoever shot my wife, that guy whoever that is, that guy needs to get shot," he said."

Typical, turn the victim into the criminal and the criminal into the victim. This women ran this officer down and then failed to stop even with the guy still on her hood!

What kind of woman does this?

“”Where’s the evidence that my wife threatened a trained officer? You know? He’s a trained officer to use lethal force, shoot my wife like that and just not even call an ambulance?” said Gilbert Alvarado. “

* Where’s the evidence? Oh..how about using a Fing’ car to kill a border patrol agent, you (expletive). Never had any sympathy for lawbreakers, especially dead ones.

Tip #1 to living a long life:

The shooting occurred about five miles north of the Mexican border as plainclothes agents were looking to serve a felony warrant in the area to someone other than Alvarado, Border Patrol Deputy Chief Rodney Scott told U-T San Diego.

I wonder how they identified themselves? I would panic if I saw armed men that were not in uniform trying to stop me

She drove several hundred yards down the street with the agent on the hood before he shot her. I'm fairly certain this will reach the threshold for lethal force in the CBP use of force policy.

It isn't being reported, but the southern border is heating up significantly. There's going to be a lot more shooting.

I know a guy who was walking with his girlfriend years ago. A van suddenly accelerated and headed straight for them. They jumped out of the way and the van crashed into something. The guy grabbed the guy in the van and started yelling at him. It turned out that the guy had a seizure.

So things are not always as they appear.

Good thing he didn’t have Janet’s beanbags instead of bullets. HE would have been the one in the bodybag.

Gilbert needs to go to prison for advocating the death of a Federal agent doing his job properly. Now.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t just a case of woman hits pedestrian and was decided to hit and run. That seems fairly common these days. Unfortunately, for her she hit a guy that was armed and didn’t want to get flung off the hood at speed.

Facts not in evidence.
I see nothing in the (poorly written) report that the 'armed' men were focused on her, or even that the men were displaying drawn weapons.

I have seen heavily armed men crossing a street, and the only gesture I saw was to stop.
I stopped.
They crossed the street towards their intended target.

The end.

Yes, because border agents regularly run up to cars driven by females and shoot them for nothing. (snicker) Of course, that’s the story that the media and the racist pressure groups will try to spread. I didn’t catch the name of the agent involved. From what I see on the reality shows, a great many agents appear to be of Mexican or Hispanic descent. No agent is going to walk up to a vehicle and start shooting for no reason.

If a PLAIN-CLOTHES Hispanic police officer in a high-crime border area jumps on the hood of your car and points a gun at you, would you be more likely to think that you were being kidnapped, or that there was a PLAIN-CLOTHES police officer on your hood?

Not knowing the citizenship of mother and father one must keep in mind that the American children will someday be able to seek revenge/retribution by running for POTUSA - according to only the birth place deciding eligibility.

” - - - She drove several hundred yards down the street with the agent on the hood before he shot her.”

Since she was in such a hurry to get home, one has to ask: “What was she hiding in her house?”

When officers are in the right, I side with them. I’d have done the same thing, officer, or not. Someone is trying to run me down with a car, I am in mortal danger.

“He’s a trained officer to use lethal force, shoot my wife like that and just not even call an ambulance?” said Gilbert Alvarado. “

Well, in these parts, we generally don’t call for an ambulance for the DEAD.
