There was an officer killed in the past year by getting hit in the head with a rock. It's no joke, and the police and/or military shouldn't ever be forced to stand back and be targets for target practice.

Pres. Trump: U.S. Military Will Arrest Violent Migrants At Border

President Trump reaffirms that U.S. troops stationed at the border will arrest migrants if they become violent.

The President reaffirmed the group will not pass into the U.S. on Friday, just days after the White House deployed over 5,000 troops to secure the border.

This after members of the migrant group reportedly pelted Mexican military forces with rocks this week.

The president maintained that troops will not use excessive force to corral the migrants, but said violence will not be tolerated.

“We’re not going to stand for people doing what they did to the Mexican military and the Mexican police. What they did to those people, they were very badly hurt, very badly injured, the military and the police. What they did with rocks being thrown at their faces, not going to happen to our soldiers.” -President Trump
This comes after President Trump announced the White House could send as many as 15,000 troops to secure the border.
