Real life events on the U.S.-Mexican border last month are disturbingly similar to the storyline of a film from a few years ago, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. The only unfortunate thing is that there is no Pete Perkins to act as an agent of redemption for Ramiro Gamez Acosta's killer, Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Corbett.
Corbett and the Border Patrol claim he was acting in "self defense". It looks like Acosta was cocking his arm to throw something. Like a rock, maybe? All that Corbett needed to do was point the rifle and say "Alto!", whether Acosta was aiming at him or the BP truck, which is what it looks like to me.
All that things like this are going to do are polarize each side even further without contributing anything to a possible solution...
