[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6877320, member: 549629"] That shooting is a tragedy. An avoidable one. Unfortunately, this is the type of thing that happens when we just continue down this 'dont obey our laws' plan that so many people want to keep. Lack of decisive laws and policies leads to confusion. Confusion leads to unintended deaths. That officer might have been some crazed racist looking for a reason to kill a Mexican, but he was probably just a normal guy thrust into a difficult situation with consequences he'll have to live with the rest of his life. And obviously the family of the dead boy right about now are questioning the 'humanity' of our look the other way most of the time policy on illegal immigration right. Why did this situation have to happen? A group of young Mexicans who felt they could completely ignore American laws and officers of authority while breaking the law, and a police officer with not enough training, back up, and/or political support to have simple yet overpowering and peaceful means to handle such a routine situation as some kids with rocks. It happened because a lot of people in this country want cheaper products and think they get it from this under the table illegal immigrant work force, while patting themselves on the back for being such great humanitarians by spending other people's tax dollars to get it. Self indulgent morality. This is the price of your cheap strawberries and auto mechanics. I hope its worth it to you. [/QUOTE]
