They should not be pardoned given their actions around covering up their shooting of a guy who was running away. Think about the message that sends to the cops.

11-12 years to a bit much though.

While I would agree with you on principle, think of the message we are sending the drugs smugglers. This one got immunity in order to testify against the agents and he is now suing OUR government for $5 million dollars. Is that the message we prefer to send?

ON THE CONTRARY - Their actions in shooting the perpetrator while running away should be publicized and applauded, and the need they felt to cover this up should be excused and rendered unnecessary by authorizing appropriate ROEs.

Think about the message that would send to the drug smugglers and coyotes.

No, I'm not kidding.
