Tom Homan on ICE Shooting: I’ve Said from March, if the Hateful Rhetoric Doesn’t Decline, There Will Be Bloodshed

EXCERPT:

HOMAN: “Look, it's tragic. And I've said, from March, if the hateful rhetoric doesn't decline, there's going to be bloodshed. I've seen this movie before. And unfortunately, I was right. And there's been a lot of bloodshed. But look, you know, you've got to put yourself in the mind of the officer, right? You're in a city where there's protest, interference, impediment, like these two ladies were doing before this instance occurred. You're in a city where law enforcement response is sporadic, at best. You got threats up over 1,300 percent, actual assault on ICE officers. You got a woman behind the wheel of a 4,000-pound vehicle, revving her engine, going towards you. I truly believe this officer, in his mind, though his life was in danger, which allows him to use lethal force.”
