What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA Houston man run over by an ICE vehicle will need more surgery, his advocates say. Skip is on the scene tonight.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI'm standing on a Houston street where, just a few minutes ago, a neighbor showed me the spot.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentICE says the man was not the target of the attempted traffic stop, and his team says he ran because the vehicle was unmarked and had no sirens.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI spoke with a local who saw the street afterward. Sir, what do you make of the unmarked part?
Darnell OkaforWell, if a car has no markings and no siren, I'd run too. I deliver pizzas, and even my car has a sign on it.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentA sign. And Hank, for the record, I'm clearly marked, and a man of my clarity could be marked for the desk.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Skip. Noted, and so is the surgery.
