The case was notable in part because the city of Southaven had previously argued that Lopez had no civil rights to violate because the Mexican man was living in the United States illegally and faced deportation orders and criminal charges for illegally possessing guns.
A judge rejected that argument in 2020, finding constitutional rights apply to “all persons.”
Because, you know, that’s what the Constitution says.
When I went through the academy we were trained to fire two shots. Evaluate the target and fire two more if there was still an active threat. If there was not a threat, we watched the person until medical aid arrived.
Yet you see these shootings were they may dump. That isn’t stopping a threat. That’s murder.
