#8 Maybe they should have just killed the drug dealer instead of just shooting him in the buttocks. This is always the case. Dead people cannot sue. Two in the chest, one in the head! Works every time. |

#7 Maybe they should have just killed the drug dealer instead of just shooting him in the buttocks. This is an outrage. What penalty does the drug dealer draw? Send these agents to sniper school so that they are better shots! |

#6 The problem here is kinda the same as we have in Iraq --- the rules of engagement are f*cked up. Insurgents shoot at you from a house? You ought to be able to level it. Period. They run into a Mosque? It ought to be reduced to rubble instantenously. Drug smugglers and dealers attempt to cross the border? They should be shot on sight. Period. They get interdicted and flee? Too bad. It should only insure they get shot in the ass, instead of the belly. As long as we try to deal with deadly force situations with kid gloves, applying more and more rules in the name of being civilized and protecting 'civil rights' (BTW, since when does a Mexican drug dealer trying to smuggle drugs into the US have any US civil rights?) we might as well look forward to more unjust and outrageous decisions. Try finding good people to do a tough job under these conditions. The only ones who'll thrive in such a politically correct climate will be the ineffective lemmings who don't mind swallowing their pride on a daily basis. |

#4 The judicial branch is out of control. They have been subverted by the continual appointments of communists to the bench by Bill Clinton types. We reel from one outrage to another. How do you come down on Border Patrol doing their job ? How in hell do you expect to add agents when they are treated like this? This is a farce and can't be allowed to stand. Contact your Congress horse and bitch. Loudly. |

#2 Federal agents who protect our border deserve our respect, gratitude and trust -- it is a difficult and dangerous job," United States Attorney Johnny Sutton said in a news release after the sentencing. "But when law enforcement officers use their badge as a shield for carrying out crimes and then engage in a cover up, we cannot look the other way. Agents Compean and Ramos shot an unarmed, fleeing suspect in the back and lied about it."
