Also, you are right in that the video doesn't show the cop on the Mexican side; the kid was apprehended on the American side after all - el diario reported it as such ("La escena permite ver cómo el elemento apunta con algo a dos personas y atrapa a una de ellas en territorio de Estados Unidos, mientras que los otros corren y salen de la imagen."), but there's more to this in a minute. What I want to point out is why the fuck are you trying to rationalize in defense of a cop who so clearly had no legitimate right of self defense out of this one point you're right?
Now, back to the issue of the cops crossing the border; shortly after the kid was shot, the Mexican Feds came to the scene, and drew their guns at the American cops when they saw the cops trying to cross the river

You are also seemingly ignoring the context of the situation, with another Mexican having been shot two weeks ago, and seventeen deaths from Mexicans escaping this year already.

How many Border Patrol Agents on the U.S. Side have been shot at,or had rocks thrown at them by illegal immigrants and Drug Cartel Members,never mind the times the Mexican Military has flown over and put guns in the faces of U.S. Cops on the American side of the border after a drug catch over the past few years alone?
What about the Illegals from Mexico's Southern Border being killed by Mexico's B.P.?
What about that?
What?...
