ICE shooting of arrest resister - What's the real atrocity, "Bullet Price" Charged in Iran for Loved One's Bodies or ICE Activity?

Yesterday's NY Times, not a right wing paper had the following (link, not paywalled):

The families rooted frantically through the piles of corpses, so crammed together that the living had to take care not to step on the dead.
Wailing and cursing, they searched the body bags for the number assigned to their loved one for burial — a surreal veneer of bureaucracy imposed onto a chaotic nightmare. *****
In Mashhad’s poorest neighborhoods, some families recounted being asked to pay impossible sums, sometimes as high as $6,000, to retrieve the bodies of protesters, according to testimonies gathered by the Center for Human Rights in Iran, an organization based in New York.
“These people cannot pick up their loved ones’ bodies because they can’t pay that kind of money,” said Hadi Ghaemi, the head of the center. “So the bodies are just being dumped and buried in mass graves.” The practice of imposing a “bullet price” on the families of dead dissidents dates to the Islamic Republic’s brutal crackdown on its opponents in the 1980s, when the authorities required a fee to return the bodies of those it executed.

No one in the U.S., on college campuses or in Minneapolis cares. But they are going crazy over the shooting by an ICE officer of a man who, at the very least, scuffled to block an ICE arrest and at the most wielded a handgun, see Federal officials won’t answer critical questions about agent’s killing of Minneapolis man (link).
Now, the ICE agent may not have used "best practices." However, if you try to interfere with law enforcement...that is highly risky business. Thoughts. And poll.

My thought is, I would gladly reimburse ICE for the expense of their ammunition. Assuming that at least 10 shots were fired at Alex Pretti and assuming they were using Hornady Critical Duty 9mm Luger (+P) 124 gr ammunition that averages $1.23 per round, that would amount to $12.30.

Although I could probably give them a better deal with my own personal handloads. I've accumulated too much over the years and probably won't ever shoot it all up.

Interesting how you're invoking an authoritarian, religious nationalist government's violence against protesters to defend another authoritarian, religious nationalist government's violence against protesters

Alex Pretti has a valid open carry permit. He had beaten on the ground, ICE murdered him.

Nothing you say about the killing is true. The guy neither tried to scuffle with ICE nor wielded a handgun.
