It’s been interesting to see the debate back and fourth over whether this was the right move. The moral ‘you should help another human being in need’ vs the logical ‘don’t aid the ‘enemy’, one less person against you+family’…
It’s such a difficult decision; knowing they wouldn’t help you if roles were reversed, and may even blame you if he doesn’t pull through. With 12h to think sbout it; I still don’t know which direction I’d go.
I do have to wonder what story the Administration is going to spin to vilify them anyway…
I mostly was thinking about it practically — it’s a pretty straightforward case to make that a federal agent feared for his life because someone handled their service weapon and that justified the use of lethal force, even by a more law-abiding federal agency during a more liberal administration.
