The border patrol works best on the border or within 25 miles of the border.
They have no experience or expertise policing a city.
ICE is very much the same way.
That is not their training.
And frankly, you could put them through weeks of training and it wouldn't even begin to approximate what a city police officer goes through.
Well, the body cameras in police departments across the country, and when I was commissioner at CBP, we tested them with the Border Patrol.
And although the technology wasn't quite up to what it should be, the focus group that I talked to was the Border Patrol.
Agents thought they were fine because in the vast majority of circumstances, the body camera video
would support what they were saying.
And police departments, you have officers that won't go out on patrol unless they do have a body camera because they know that it's going to, in most cases, support their actions.
Well, ever since Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, Minneapolis, they have really tried to do their best to take themselves off the front pages.
And of course, that's, I think, not for any particular reason other than that they're very concerned about the midterm elections.
And these videos that have gone viral, these Kent State kind of videos, are going to come up again and again in November.
So I'd love to say they're doing it for the right reasons.
I'm just not sure.
Thank you.
