A bill allowing Polish border guard to use firearms is in the works | Krzysztof Jaworski

The Polish parliament is expected to vote on a bill that would allow security services to use firearms during peacekeeping operations, such as those on the Belarus border. While the government says the change is necessary for officers to do their job effectively, especially after a soldier serving at the border died of a stab wound in June, human rights organizations warn it could lead to the use of excessive force. To tell us more about the ins and outs of the proposed legislation we are joined by Krzysztof Jaworski, Deputy Director of the Institute for Security and International Development.

Here in Texas, at times the Border Patrol has to use lethal force at the border with Mexico, but not very often. However, there's a difference between migrants, often families, crossing the border looking for a better life, and organized groups used as a tool of war against a sovereign nation.

This is asymetric warfare by both Belarus and Russia, migrants sure are going the long way around getting to Europe.

Looking at the crime rates by migrants in some EU countries (best example Germany) and having seen how aggressive some of them are are cutting down fences, destroying everything at the boarder and also throwing rocks, bottles and really anything they can find at the border guards I can completely understand this
