Tom Homan explained that the agent is not at peace with what happened, stating, "My concern right now, is that I talked to the officer involved, and he's, you know, if anybody thinks he's sitting around feeling comfortable, he's not."

The situation has worsened because the officer's personal information and face have been spread across the internet by angry protesters.

When Dr Phil asked about a private phone call Homan had with the agent right before the show.

"He's concerned, I've seen today his face all over social media. He's been doxed. People are threatening to kill him. So, he's not good. He knows he fears for him and his family," Homan said.

He noted that the officer “is not in a good spot emotionally" because he has to worry about his family being targeted at home.

He made it clear that the agent is very upset about the loss of life. "Of course, he is. I mean, any law enforcement officer who uses any sort of, Look, I've been around a long time. Even if it's less lethal force, if you have to put hands on somebody and take him down, it affects you," Homan explained.

With over 40 years of experience, Homan said he has never met an officer who was happy about using their gun.

He concluded by saying, "I've never used lethal force personally. I can only imagine. I've based on my 40 plus years, I've never met an officer who had to use lethal force that felt good about it. It's a terrible, terrible thing to go through."
