It's sad to see so many Freepers engaging in name-calling and character assassination over this.
It happens all the time here. It's a minority of the posters that resort to insults, but they do ruin it for the rest of us. Kinda like the school yard bullies ruined recess for us too. And the principal here lets it go on and on...

There's a Texas Governor's debate on C-SPAN tonight, maybe they'll get asked a question about this.

This president prosecuted them!LOL. No, the President did not. However, in post 331 there is more data which SHOULD give you emotive release:
The other two House members who signed the letter were Rep. Darryl Issa, R-Vista, and Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. It then was forwarded to President Bush and Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which has scheduled hearings on Ramos and Compean's case in late November

The long sentences was because the use of their duty weapon to do their job was brought into court as a weapon used during the criminal act of an assault under Federal law which is at least 10 years.
Being they were on duty, it is retarded to begin with.

It was totally discretionary with the US Attorney to decide if any action they did or did not do constituted a felony. There are a plethora of rules, regulations nad laws that can or cannot be decided to be applicable.
Far be it for a field agent to have all those things in his or her mind in pursuit of a narcotrafficante.
It's the prosecutor who is wrong in this case, not the field agents. He should be prosecuted, as should his two staff members who undertook to prosecute the case.

Guess they should've been armed with nerf bats.

They're not bad cops. We have real criminals coming through here from Murphytown SC (you know where that is), and they must be stopped, either by the folks whose house is getting robbed or by the cops.
Or, alternatively, you could build a really big fence about that place and keep 'em at home.
To: CottonBall
They should have killed the guy, then there would be no issue.

At least they tried. They tried to enforce US law and you belittle them and ridicule their efforts. What have you done to secure your country?
To: BeHoldAPaleHorse
You're welcome. Unfortunately I have personally witnessed enough innocent people get railroaded by The System and it angers me to see those who are
paid to uphold the law turn around, violate the law, abuse their power and the public trust...
and get away with it. The only time FR posters showed any outrage over this type of thing was when Clinton was President and he got away with murder and coverups and God only knows what else.

Whoever came up with mandatory minimum sentences was completely evil. We did not need them the first 170 years of our country and we do not need them now. And this case is a perfect reason why. Prosecutors will abuse them to no end. They remind me of zero tolerance policies in schools, made for idiots by idiots. Amen to that.

Now, I'm signing off and go watch Bill O'Reilly. Have a good night.Good cover! You're off to watch some conservative TV!
Even though you spend the rest of the day here undermining conservatives every chance you get.
Even your screen name is good cover.
To: muawiyah
It's the prosecutor who is wrong in this case, not the field agents.Please enlighten us as to what your juror number was. If you were not on the jury, you do not know all of the facts. Coyotes and smugglers are criminals. Any person that kills a criminal, even under the color of law, must be investigated. If you know specific facts in this case, bring them. Otherwise, you appear to be another person demanding unfettered power over others. And that is unbecoming.

I ain't gonna cheer because they tried, I'll cheer when they finally succeed. Firing 15 shots and missing the target isn't my idea of success.

BS, that's your degree. The BS is a math degree without a foreign language requirement, and many schools offer such a degree as a sop to science and math types who are incapable of learning other languages.
Schools of Education ordianrily offer the BS, as in Bachelor of Scinece in Education with a major in Math ~ that sort of thing.
A BA or AB has always required a foreign language be studied, and in the very best schools where a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) is offered (the ultimate in "artsy fartsy" degrees since it is, in fact, a degree in "art") study in a foreign language is required.
Your typical Engineering degree, originating in a totally different field of discipline than the scineces (Arts and Sciences), usualy has no foreign language requirement, or even credit.
