Bump for later reading
37 percnet of our prison population is illegals.
Yeah but I don't like to mention "Cops" The last time I did, was when I asked if a police officer could shoot a suspect fleeing" I was told that was "tv" :')
That doesn't make your life under imminent threat.
I, too, sense the same thing.
I can't wiat to see the open borders crowd explain that away!!
If the jury knew the truth about the "victim," they wouldn't have believed his word over the agents. Our government made sure they didn't know the truth. Yet you somehow still defend this prosecution. Why?
I guess that depends on the meaning of "real" :')
I stand by my post.
After the jury was misled, according to their own statements. Try again.
The two agents should do the same time that Lon Horiuchi served for shooting Vicki Weaver in the face.
Like I said, I'm not willing to revie the topic of evidence. But you could probably stand to study up on the "prejudicial" kind.
Things sure seem to be lining up, don't they?
After two of the jurors made comments to the press, which may or may not be appealable.
Do you realize that referring to people on the other side of the argument as the "open borders crowd" actually weakens your own?
By telling their supervisors!
From what I understand a PERSON was fleeing. At the time the agents did not know who that person was nor did they know there was marijuana in the van. That's not part of the story that should be taken lightly nor ignored, IMHO.
But, what if America must undergo a "depression-type" judgment?
Damn, if that were true, you would have thought the agents would have REPORTED the "fact" that they shot at an "armed" fleeing drug runner. These guys were cowboys and got busted.
The trial testimony of the defendants, fellow Border Patrol agents who were on the scene and who arrived shortly thereafter, as well as taped radio communications showed that there were no supervisors at the scene at the time of the shooting. The agents knew they must report any discharge of a firearm and had just received training to this effect the day before this shooting. Further, Agent Ramos was a Border Patrol firearms instructor and a member of the evidence recovery team. He was well aware of this requirement as he had taught this to other agents. They did not report the discharge because they knew the shooting was not justified. Furthermore, based on their training and experience, they were aware of what law enforcement resources would be dispatched to the crime scene to investigate a shooting, including sector evidence team, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and state and local law enforcement.
