The agency revised its statement a day later to say Gómez González was "one member of the group" that rushed the agent and ignored orders to get on the ground. The statement said the agent fired one round.
$100,000,000.00!??? What nitwits. Send the family a bill for all the trouble she caused. These invading illegal alien criminals should stay in their own sh**hole countries of origin.
from the nydn and the aclu filing:
“Gómez, a “petite woman with of small build” was walking about a third of a mile from the Rio Grande river with a few other people when a single Border Patrol agent responded to reports of illegal activity May last year.
The agent came into contact with Gómez and the others in a vacant lot. Two of the people in the group ran toward the river, and two ran toward abandoned mobile home lots while Gómez and one other remained in the vacant lot, the lawsuit says. After the agent drew his weapon, Gómez took a step, and the agent shot.”
The other side of the door:
we might logically ask, when the ‘new normal behavior’ of illegals seeking amnesty was to sit and surrender to the first BP they encountered, why did they run?
Instead, the officer observed “new abnormal behavior” : two high-tail it to the river back to Mexico and two hoof into an abandoned mobile home, leaving the slowpokes behind in their dust. Not normal.
Slowpokes are still standing and are ordered to the ground (likely in Spanish). Was there any shouting between the mobile home/river/slowpokes? Attitude towards officer? Anything thrown? Observed? Don’t know all that yet but we do know there was NO positive responsive action. We do know there’s a double-dose of ‘not normal’ behavior. The officer draws his weapon and repeats the command. One or both come towards his perimeter. He fires a single shot.
Sure there’s more to the story, but even with the basic elements, it’s not quite as cold-blooded as the ACLU would like folk to think.
