The U.S. Border Patrol is under fire for allegedly ordering its elite, SWAT-style units to use non-lethal bean bag ammunition before responding with deadly force – even against suspects armed with high-powered semi-automatic and automatic weapons like AK-47s.
The controversy over the agency’s “bean bag” policy began in the days following the Dec. 14 killing of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and has escalated recently as more information is uncovered in the investigation of the fatal shooting.

Beanbag international politics.

Obama’s head is full of beans.
When I see FReepers posting that because of what has become of our country they’re glad that they’re old and not going to be around much longer, I am reminded again of just how serious our plight really is.
“Politicians are f*****g scum.”
And many need to be SHOT.
And I don’t give a good G—damn how that sounds. It’s TRUE.

Last night our CBS News investigation reported on ATF’s Project Gunrunner and allegations that it included a secret operation near the border that intentionally allowed thousands of assault rifles and other weapons to hit the streets.
Sources told us many of the weapons ended up in the hands of Mexico’s drug cartels. Two AK-47 type assault rifles turned up at the murder of border patrol agent Brian Terry on December 14th.
Sources also told us that ATF agents operating in Mexico were instructed not to alert Mexican authorities about the operation. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20036061-10391695.html

Its so insane its hard to even comment on it.
Not at all. It’s been on my mind since 2008. As bad as I imagined it was going to be, the reality is still stunning. We must speak out.
You are stunned. I’m mad as hell.
That’s one of the reasons I admire you. :)
Because you’re spunky. :)
