You don't need to exaggerate with me. I'm not letting him entirely off the hook here, but I think he overreacted, and that overreaction was inevitable. Shit happens during high-stake arrests, and every arrest is high-stakes now, largely because of liberal agitation to create this exact circumstance. That you have an armed dude following ICE around and getting into fights with them at all should be a clear enough indicator of that. The day after day harassment and interference, and the endless riling themselves up to "fight fascists," was meant to create unstable circumstances so that they could benefit off of the inevitable mistake.

That this whole situation has been deliberately crafted means precision is even more important. There's no room for muddied waters here. Just because it's his overreaction doesn't mean the situation was his responsibility to begin with, nor should anyone be expected to be perfect in situations designed to cause mistakes.
