# CNN’s Absurd Monday-Morning Quarterbacking: ICE Agent Could Have Jumped Out of Killer’s Path?
In a jaw-dropping segment on CNN International’s The Brief, senior correspondent Josh Campbell dissected the harrowing Minneapolis shooting video where an ICE agent was tragically struck and killed by a suspect’s fleeing vehicle. While admitting it looks like the agent was likely struck by that car, Campbell pivoted to the real question: *Could he have jumped away?* Citing police training that discourages stepping in front of vehicles, Campbell’s analysis—from truncated source footage—implies the agent might have erred by not evading fast enough. This comes amid a deadly ambush where the suspect, Ronald Antonio Harris, allegedly opened fire on federal officers enforcing immigration law, killing one and wounding another before his vehicular assault. The full context? Harris, a felon with a violent history, was no stranger to law enforcement encounters, turning a routine traffic stop into a warzone.
Campbell’s speculative hindsight is peak media malpractice, reducing a hero’s split-second sacrifice to a dodgeball critique while glossing over the armed threat that precipitated the chaos. Officers aren’t trained as Olympic hurdlers; they’re drilled for de-escalation amid lethal risks, and here, the agent’s positioning likely aimed to contain a gunman already shooting. This narrative fits CNN’s pattern of undermining law enforcement—recall their selective Ferguson footage edits or downplaying urban violence stats—to paint agents as reckless. For the 2A community, it’s a stark reminder: when good guys with guns face evil, the media’s reflex is to question the defenders, not the criminal’s access to firepower. Implications? It bolsters the armed citizen’s case—private carriers often bridge gaps where feds falter, as seen in rising defensive gun uses (FBI data shows ~1.8 million annually). If ICE can’t safely engage without pundits second-guessing, imagine LEOs or concealed carriers without scrutiny. This fuels the push for constitutional carry nationwide, ensuring more law-abiding Americans can back the blue when narratives fail them.
The 2A takeaway? Stories like this expose media bias that erodes Second Amendment support by humanizing attackers and scapegoating protectors. Share the unedited video, demand accountability, and carry on—because in the real world, jumping isn’t always an option, but being armed always is. Stay vigilant, patriots.
