'Masked Border Protection Agents Open Fire on Family's Truck After Smashing Its Windows'

"A family in San Bernardino, California is in shock after masked federal agents opened fire on their truck."

"As NBC Los Angeles reported, Customs and Border Protection (CPB) agents on Saturday morning surrounded the family's truck and demanded that its passengers exit the vehicle."

"A video of the incident filmed from inside the truck showed the passengers asked the agents to provide identification, which they declined to do."

"An agent was then heard demanding that the father, who had been driving the truck, get out of the vehicle. Seconds later, the agent started smashing the car's windows in an attempt to get inside the vehicle."

"The father then hit the gas to try to escape, after which several shots could be heard as agents opened fire. Local news station KTLA reported that, after the father successfully fled the scene, he called local police and asked for help because 'masked men' had opened fire on his truck."

... to break every other law ever written to "fulfill their mission". The perfect career for violent criminals, bullies and thugs.

Or maybe it's that $55,000 signing bonus, and the student loan forgiveness. Because they're worth it.

What kinds of promises of immunity or latitude are their keepers promising them?
