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

‘I truly believe this officer, in his mind, thought his life was in danger which allows him to use lethal force’
By Grabien Staff

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.”
