This is exactly what I told someone yesterday.
Even if I spot you the first shot (I shouldn’t, but let’s go with that), shots 2 and 3 were inexcusable and this officer will lose his case if it ever goes to court.

ICE only has about 20-30,000 employees nationwide. Including desk jobs so there's even fewer armed. It's smaller than the NYPD.
There's a reason they do their mega raids on one or two cities at a time, and it's not optics. It's because that's all the dudes they've got.
Something to keep in mind.

If-as Marco Rubio claimed-the abduction of Maduro was merely a law enforcement issue based on valid indictments, and not a war
