ZACK HOYT AKA ASMONGOLD (HOST): I think that it's very important right now that if this guy did get shot when he was unarmed, that there is accountability for ICE for doing this. Because you can't have -- like, for example, whenever the they shot the woman with the car, that Renee Good, I think that, like, it was much more ambiguous. 

I think that it's very obvious that if you're shooting an unarmed man whenever they're being restrained by six other people or seven other people, very, very clearly your life was not in danger, you're not defending yourself from a deadly threat. This person's unarmed, and that's it.

There's literally no excuse for it. And I'm a big supporter of ICE. I think ICE is great. I think they should deport every single illegal alien in the country. All that being said, you can't have ICE -- because I'm a supporter of ICE. That means that I need to have accountability for ICE.
