Well you know, here we have a case of an LEO illegally (as judged by a jury) using his weapon in attempt to shoot in the back and kill a suspect, a suspect who posed no danger to the LEO or others, who was fleeing a car chase. Legally it doesn’t matter if he was Mexican looking, or if he was an illegal alien (R&C didn’t know at the time of the shoot one way or the other) or even if they knew (which they didn’t) there were drugs in the back of the van. This is an issue about the lawful or unlawful use of deadly force by an LEO on a citizen. You know why? Because the suspect in this incident, as we would hope you or I under similar circumstances, are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

LEO’s are not judges, they’re not juries, they’re not jailers, their job is to apprehend suspects so the rest of our judicial system that we are so proud of can go to work to determine guilt or innocence and if necessary, mete out justice.

And through all this all the BP supporters care to talk about is the illegal alien situation at the border, as if that had one iota of relevance to the important issue being discussed.

So ya, I would say 90% of the BPA supporters are either shilling for their border security issue or just plain don’t like Mexicans, maybe both.

In either case, it stinks they are putting their own personal agenda before the integrity of our law enforcement and justice systems.

You and Joe must be from the same part of the country, one where the back and the butt are the same thing.
