Details are still sketchy (and probably will never become clear) and the incident is still fresh in our minds. Yesterday, an “American citizen” (for whatever reason, media is obsessed with this detail), a Latino man, was gunned down by federal air marshals at Miami International Airport.
Did he really say he had a bomb? Did authorities truly feel threatened? We’ll probably never know. But this reminds us that our policy in this country is to shoot first and ask questions later, at the expense of the life of someone who could be mentally ill.
