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.

Post 331, this thread:

Jones and five other members of the caucus - including Reps. Gary Miller, R-Diamond Bar, Dana Rohrbacher, R-Huntington Beach, and Ed Royce, R-Fullerton - contend in the letter that El Paso, Texas, area Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean should not have been charged under the statute because carrying a firearm was a necessary part of their jobs, and that they used the firearms while on duty.

Hearing on this specific case and the "law" before the House Judiciary is scheduled for November.
