DC, the guy had FOUGHT with the agents prior to shots being fired.

"FOUGHT" could mean struggled or resisted.

That's not grounds for firing fifteen shots...which incidentally the shell casings were picked up and not disclosed.

IMO, these are rogue cops and deserve what they got.

IMO, after they discovered his vehicle, they planned on stealing the drugs and go into business for themselves....thus the decision not to write a report.

Who's the naive one here?

Finally, just because I hold a liberal position on the social topic of illegal immigration doesn't mean I waive my rights to speak an opinion on it.

He hit an agent.

If you are starting to run and then turn as if you have a weapon, you will get shot at

which incidentally the shell casings were picked up and not disclosed.

Please try to keep up. The supervisors were supposed to make a report and did not.

IMO, these are rogue cops and deserve what they got.

IMO you need to seriously catch up on the details of this story.

After that comment, I think the DC in your screen name stands for "Dixie Chick". You speaking your opinion does not block my right for pointing out your errors expressed in such.

No one ever said you couldn't speak your mind about your liberal tendencies. We also have the right to speak our mind about your liberal opinions.

And when you come here with an accusation of opinion that you think the border patrol agents were going to steal the drugs, then we have a right to tell you that perhaps you should look in the mirror and take a long look when you accuse others of "conspiracy theories".

This may already have been addressed, but there's something I've never understood about this case: Why did the U.S. government land so heavily on these two agents? It sure seems like an "administrative" offense worthy of a fine and 3 day suspension, not a federal felony conviction. Can someone please explain?

Good morning.
"just because I hold a liberal position on the social topic of illegal immigration doesn't mean I waive my rights to speak an opinion on it."

It does, however, tell everyone here in the FreeRepublic to take your opinions on this issue with a grain of salt.

The comment about the two persecuted BP agents stealing the drugs is the dumbest thing you've said, and the nastiest. It's not that it isn't possible, just that there is no evidence to make you think that it is so but your own liberal biases.

What about illegal do you NOT understand? So you are for an open border policy....open all of the borders around the world and everyone can come and go as they please...
