Texas Bans Shooting Immigrants From Helicopters

Well it’s just not sporting is it? You’ve got to at least give them a fighting chance to run for it.

Officials in Texas announced on Thursday that State Troopers would no longer be allowed to open fire on suspects from helicopters after the recent killing of two immigrants.

The policy allowing troopers to shoot from helicopters was the only one of its kind among law enforcement agencies in Southwestern border states … “I’m convinced that now, from a helicopter platform, that we shouldn’t shoot unless being shot at, or unless someone is being shot at,” McCraw said Thursday during his testimony before the state House Committee on Appropriations in Austin.
