Illegal or not, Mexican or not I think is beside the point when trying to understand what this situation as it played out really means.

This topic has come up several times on this board, and a few takes on it have really resonated with me.

The scenario is described as the cops stepping over the line, finally committing an atrocity that the local folks can't ignore, and they decide to step up and confront the cops. Many folks say that the cops will respond to any isolated form of resistance with overwhelming force in order to discourage anyone else from getting uppity.

Viola! ("Vwah lah", not the instrument)

There you have it.
