Mimi Rocah: ‘All of Those Details Matter’ in Determining Whether ICE Officers Were Justified in Shooting

‘There are cases where law enforcement in many different agencies are not uniformed but do properly identify themselves’

RUSH EXCERPT:

ROCAH: "Those are great questions and questions that I would want answered through the investigation. So your question about whether the officers were identified, I mean, you’re correct. Absolutely. Just from that video, we can see they weren’t uniformed. However, there are cases where law enforcement is many different agencies are not uniformed but do properly identify themselves. I am not saying that did or didn’t happen here. I don’t know, I would want to know exactly. You know what, what what what were the identifying insignia on their badges or jackets? What did they say as they approached? I’m not saying any of that makes it okay. I’m just saying all of those details matter. Your question though, really, you know, there the question about whether them shooting was justified will go to what they were doing at the time and what he was doing.”
