Liberal Propaganda from hbo

Just the kind of America-hating liberal propaganda garbage we've come to expect from the treasonous, far-left hbo and Hollyweird in general. They seem to always back the criminal element and anyone who attacks America, our laws, our law enforcement or our society. They seem to conveniently overlook the fact that Hernandez-Rojas was already deported once and was AGAIN caught ILLEGALLY entering the United States. If he hadn't been BREAKING THE LAW he would be alive today. Also, he violently resisted arrest. Of course agents needed to use force in the face of violent resistance. His death was solely CAUSED BY HIM AND HIS ACTIONS.

US Border Patrol exposed

As "Critical Incident: Death At the Border" (2025 release; 87 min.) opens, it is May 28, 2010, and an undocumented migrant for Mexico while being deported by US Border Patrol gets tasered and perishes. The family of the deceased hires a lawyer to try and get to the bottom of what happened, but US Border Patrol does not cooperate. At this point we are 10 minutes into the documentary.Couple of comments: this is the latest from Oscar-nominated documentarian Rick Rowley, who knows a thing or two about exposing cover-ups (2019's "16 Shots"). Here he exposes how the US Border Patrol has been getting away for decades with covering up deadly incidents. The fact that is has taken well over a decade before this particular case was exposed should give you an indication how well oiled the US Border Patrol machine is at this. Chances are that you will shake your head in disgust as you watch this unfold."Critical Incident: Death At the Border" started airing on HBO about a week ago, and it's also streaming on HBO Max, where I caught it last night. If you want to better understand how the US Border Control functions, I'd readily suggest you check this out, and draw your own conclusion.

Very biased to say the least.

I enjoy good honest un biased documentaries, but this one is very skewed to make one believe that this poor migrant got killed by mean uncaring border agents. This was just not the case. Too bad one must do other research to get the real story here as the migrant was deported and came back again illegally. Illegal means illegal and in this country you need to be legally here. That is the law. If you do not like it, change it in Congress. This migrant resisted arrest and got killed in the process which is sad all the way around. No one (I hope) wants anyone killed. But if the fellow followed the laws, he would be a legal citizen. Just do it right, then no one gets hurt.
