The outrageous rumors were true.
Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was forced to use beanbags against armed Mexican killers before he was shot dead in Arizona in December.
Agent Brian Terry was forced to defend himself and this country with beanbags.
The Arizona Daily Star reported:
Border Patrol agents shot beanbags at a group of suspected bandits before the men returned fire during a confrontation in a remote canyon, killing agent Brian Terry with a single gunshot, records show.
And an illegal immigrant wounded in the gunbattle who is now the only person in custody linked to the slaying contends he never fired a shot, according to FBI search warrant requests filed in the U.S. District Court in Tucson.
The documents provide the most detailed version yet of what happened in the deadly gunbattle Dec. 14 in Peck Canyon, northwest of Nogales.
The documents say the group of illegal border entrants refused commands to drop their weapons after agents confronted them at about 11:15 p.m. Two agents fired beanbags at the migrants, who responded with gunfire. Two agents returned fire, one with a long gun and one with a pistol, but Terry was mortally wounded in the gunfight.
Border Patrol officials declined to answer questions about protocol for use of force, citing the ongoing investigation.
But Terry’s brother, Kent Terry, said the other agents who were there that night told him that they were instructed to use the non-lethal beanbags first. It’s a policy that doesn’t make sense to Kent Terry.
“You go up against a bandit crew that is carrying AKs, and you walk out there with guns loaded with beanbags – I don’t get it,” Terry said in a phone interview from Michigan. “It’s like going to the Iraqi war with one knife. It boggles my mind. … These guys (Border Patrol agents) are professionals; they should be able to use their judgment call on their own.”
But, don’t worry. Barack Obama says the border is as safe today as it’s ever been.

Read this here first; but hope this is a Drudge Headline!.
“When shooting Mexicans, you shouldn’t use beanbags anyway. It’s racist.”
ROFL! I was thinking the same thing!
Outrageous.
PING!
Finally, after frigging CBS does two shows on the subject does Drudge finally wade into the water... I lost a lot of respect for Drudge, I know that he knew of the cover-up because many have sent him this info, including me, close to a month ago!
This incident with Border Patrol happened back in December in southern Arizona..
Wheres the outrage ??? PING
“but when they got stopped they put the vehicle in park which unlocked the doors. That is what killed them.
