The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot a Colombian man in Maine this week is an Army veteran who has struggled with serious mental health issues since early childhood, according to close relatives who spoke to The Associated Press.

This is the kind of person who should not own a gun, let alone be in the military or be hired for any kind of law enforcement.

    Now I wonder what sort of application process selects for these people. Maybe its a survey/questionaire thing like I’ve had to do before when applying for a job, but the questions are different:

    “What color is your F250”

    Or

    “If a small car passes you on the highway, how angry will you be until you catch back up to them?”

    Or

    “This is a senile person. They don’t know what day it is. They cannot use the bathroom unaided. How strongly do you feel the need to worship and listen to this person’s every word?”

      No, they just have recruiters drive on the roads and ID 12 potential recruits in 7 minutes.

      The kind of person who weaves in and out passing as many people as possible across all 3 lanes so they can get to their exit 3.6 seconds sooner.

      The one who rides your ass in the passing lane, you move over, then they slowly creep by, but they brake-check everyone behind them. And if someone tries passing them in the middle lane they slam on the gas
