I was going to say that was just a rehash of the same few pieces of inaccurate information, but in fact it has even more gross errors. I don't have the time to point them all out, but I'll point out one egregious error that appears early on:

Agent Compean chased Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila by vehicle and on foot, ordering him to stop. Compean says Aldrete-Davila ignored him, pushed him down, and assaulted him, whereupon the agent called for backup, drawing seven additional units, including Ramos.

OK. First, on the day of the incident, Compean claimed he was NOT assaulted (he also told someone he WAS). Compean also said Davila had surrendered, but then ran when Compean slipped and fell. But since that might be a "disputed fact", here's one that's not. Compean did NOT wait until the "confrontation" to call for backup. Ramos and Juarez were involved in the pursuit. In fact, it is RAMOS that was chasing Davila. Compean had set up on the other side of the canal, expecting Davila to run that direction. Ramos CHASED DAVILA to Compean. So obviously Compean did not wait until after he confronted Davila to "call for backup". Sorry, frontpage has been sucked into this, and they should have known better.
