What am I missing? Everything I have read about these border agents makes it sound like an obvious travesty of justice. What is the other side of the story? There must be something else?
The outrage is this:
The prosecutor used his own discretion to treat these law enforcement agents as CRIMINALS.
They were charged under a law to go after CRIMINALS and their use of firearms, and the law allows a very stiff prison sentence.
And I’d like to ask this: Since when do law enforcement agents not have the right to fire a shot at a fleeing suspect?
The “something else” could be what more Ramos and Compean know about Aldrete-Davila and his connections...
This refusal to pardon the two Border Patrol agents, while giving amnesty to drug dealers, smacks of treason.
Someone should tell Jorge Boosh he is not President of Mexico
My thoughts exactly. The only thing I can come up with is that money is changing hands somewhere (drug money). Maybe it's buying that 100,000 acre ranch in South America(?)
The something else is Johnny Sutton, who served as President Bush's criminal policy director when Bush was Governor of Texas. I doubt that President Bush will ever pardon Mr. Ramos or Mr. Compean due to his loyalty/long-standing connection to Sutton.
