This thread is full of people imagining that he committed war crimes in Iraq, but it’s also very likely that he once had discipline, the threat of consequences, formal training in weapons, use of force, the rules of engagement, and the concept of restraint.
It’s far likelier IMO that when he joined law enforcement, and particularly ICE, he felt that he could be less restrained.
You think that the military was more restrained in Iraq than ICE is in the US? Really? We all know the name of this murderer, his victim's name, how it all happened from several angles and so on. There were hundreds of thousands of victims of the US military in Iraq. How many of those murderers can you name, along with how they killed and the names of their victims? It's amazing that even after scandals and atrocities like Abu Ghraib, people can utter nonsense like this. The military completely destroyed a civilisation in Iraq, but the suffering of Americans at the hands of ICE is somehow worse?
He clearly lacked proper training, when he not once but twice placed himself in front of a moving car.
How are you so sure of this?
