"Legal or illegal, you don't shoot someone in the back."

That's not true... Cops shoot people in the back all the time who are running away, and they are never prosecuted for it.

You are dead wrong. Cop shootings are always reviewed, and shootings are justfied for a very few reasons, specifically if human life is at risk.

Try again.

You don't know what you are talking about.

You are wrong. Every shot fired by any LEO in an incident is by regulation thoroughly investigated and each projectile and casing accounted for. These officers would have been exhonorated had they not intentionally covered up the evidence and lied about the incident. NO LEO is above the expectation that they adhere to procedure - truthfully.

Initially, I was fully supportive of those agents until I learned of their lying and concealing evidence. In good conscience, that's no longer an option...nothing any worse threatening to public stability than a lying LEO.

However, Border Patrol use-of-force guidelines prohibit shooting a fleeing suspect for the purpose of stopping them from running away.

And you think this is acceptable?

That doesn't make it right. Don't lump in the rogue cops with the good cops.
