Cops are also taught to fire three times before reassessing the threat — a procedure known as "triple tap," according to Dr. Daniel Kennedy, a forensic criminologist.

According to Tuscon station KVOA, Raymond Mattia called Border Patrol to report trespassing migrants.
“He called to request for assistance because there were multiple illegal immigrants who had trespassed into his yard and he wanted assistance getting them out of his property,” a family member who wished to remain anonymous told KVOA.

The family said Mattia went outside when he saw the agents. They claimed he was just two feet away from his front door when suddenly shots rang out.

”They told us there was an estimated 38 shots fired at him,” the family member said. “You know that’s excessive and we want justice and we want to know what happened and why there were so many Border Patrol out there shooting at him.”

The FBI and Tohono O’odham Nation police are investigating the fatal shooting of a tribal member by US border patrol agents in southern Arizona.
Federal Customs and Border Protection officials said agents from the Ajo border patrol station “were involved” in a fatal shooting on the Tohono O’odham reservation near Ajo at about 10pm on Thursday. They haven’t released any additional information other than to say the encounter was under review by Customs and Border Protection’s office of professional responsibility, which investigates fatal shootings carried out by agents, among other cases.

Meneger’s Dam is only a few miles from the US-Mexico border, where Covid-19 asylum limits known as Title 42 expired less than a week before the shooting. A rush to the border before Title 42 expired and new, arguably tougher immigration policies took effect brought extraordinary pressure on areas along boundaries separating the two counties.

“Nation member Raymond Mattia lost his life in the incident. Our hearts go out to his family and all those impacted during this difficult time,” Norris said. “As the investigation proceeds, the Nation expects full consideration of all related facts of the incident and an appropriate and expeditious response from relevant public safety agencies. Because the investigation is ongoing, we will refrain from making further comment at this time.”
According to KVOA, Mattia’s family told them that he went outside when he saw the agents, and he was shot for an unknown reason.
If cops are also taught to fire three times before reassessing the threat, U.S Border is taught to fire what — three to ten times that? They told us there was an estimated 38 shots fired at him. The investigation is ongoing, they claim. Sure thing, just like the “investigation” is ongoing with forced sterilizations.

The recent news of a whistleblower’s allegations that a for-profit ICE detention center forced sterilization procedures on immigrant women shocked many people and drew comparisons to Nazi sterilization campaigns. The ICE detention story reflects a long pattern in the United States of the coerced sterilization of marginalized populations, particularly of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous peoples. In fact, the Nazi’s borrowed ideas for their sterilization regimen from eugenic sterilization laws adopted in the U.S. in the early 20th century.

Last year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) was accused of forcibly sterilizing detainees under their care.[1] Forced sterilization can occur under many different circumstances, such as when an individual is not aware of the procedure taking place, has been given no opportunity to truly consent to the procedure, or gives consent under duress.[2] As shocking as this may seem, forced sterilization of minorities has been a part of U.S. history for decades.
