    Women like this are the reason why I still have faith in humanity. They still have the humanity that Ice has lost long ago

    One wonders what that ice member is going tondo once he leaves the hospital. Will he see the error of his way? Will he visit the women he arrested and who then saved his life? Will he continue working for the SS?

    Amundson, a kindergarten teacher who has received CPR and first-aid training through school emergency planning, moved without hesitation once the cuffs came off.

    Good to hear we’re still only arresting the violent criminals and rapists. /s

    All ICE agents are pure evil and deserve death. There are no good ICE agents. Period. Feel free to disagree with me, but you’ll never change my mind.

    Well, I have to commend them on their compassion. I’m not sure I would have done the same; and that’s being an epileptic myself…

    What stayed with Amundson most, she said, was not the adrenaline of the moment but the realization that came while she was holding the agent’s head in her hands and keeping his airway open.

    “I was hit so hard with the fact that this man would not do this for me,” she said.

    Her mind went immediately to Renee Good.

      I couldn’t. Not just because it’s ICE, but because if I didn’t manage to save him I know I’d be charged with murder.

      I feel the same way. I got to the part where she unholstered his gun and wondered to myself if I would have that same grace.

        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.

      It’s fine to provide first aid to enemy combatants as long as they are imprisoned until the war is over.

    You should know that you are in no way obliged to render aid to anyone ever.
