Rooftop courage?

I watched the video of a masked agent shooting an unarmed minister in the head with pepper balls. Perhaps the out-stretched arms in prayer were too intimidating and frightening to deal with. I am sure the agent felt threatened standing on the roof of the facility in full body armor three stories above the minister in the middle of the street.

I spent the ‘60s and ‘70s in the military, and that sort of action would have gotten you court-martialed. But, I suspect this agent got an “attaboy” from his supervisor. I must admit that my military service required me to heal injuries; not cause them. So I am a bit prejudiced.

We can only hope that Stephen Miller doesn't see this video; he probably would nominate the agent for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And, heaven forbid that the recommendation reached Trump. He would probably hurt his wrist signing his approval.
