The FBI is investigating the death of a tribal member in Arizona after U.S. Border Patrol agents shot him Thursday, authorities said.
Customs and Border Protection officials said agents from the Ajo Border Patrol Station shot the man around 10 p.m. local time on the Tohono O’odham reservation near Ajo, Arizona.
The shooting is under review by Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Professional Responsibility, officials said. The Tohono O’odham Nation police also are investigating.

According to Mattia’s family, Mattia called Border Patrol because there were “multiple illegal immigrants who had trespassed into his yard and he wanted assistance getting them out of his property,” they told Tucson TV station KVOA.
When the agents arrived, the family said, Mattia went outside and was shot, KVOA reported.
Apparently, the Border Patrol is not immune from the same stupidity that seems to affect most law enforcement. Make a call, LEOs show up and shoot the innocent caller.
Move on. Nothing to see here.
“You’re never in more danger than when the police are around” … except maybe when illegals are around.
There’s lots of danger out there.

When I was a teenager, the Border Patrol was the closest law enforcement. If they were around, they were about 45 minutes away. Sheriff was about 1-1/2 to 2 hrs away. We saw a highway patrol a few times a month, if they stopped at the crossroads.
We took care of our own problems. You wouldn’t believe the stories I could tell if I typed them out, either. Besides, I’m not too sure on the SOL of some of them.

WRSA had the tweet of a donut molester reprimanded with melting chamber pot of diversity training for making an inventory document of an apprehended trunkload of Social Security cards and other fake documents at the non-existent southern border.
The Weather Underground government is out to burn it all down by any means necessary and comrade Billy Ayers stated in the 1974 Prairie Fire manifesto that 25 million Americans would have to liquidated by any means necessary.

My guess (without knowing any actual details, as the “reporters” are basically useless) would be that the guy who called Border Patrol had armed himself in fear of the Mexicans, and when the cops rolled up they probably just blasted him on sight because every “man with a gun” is a “terrorist” and they “gotta go home at the end of their shift,” dontcha know.
