That's called "consciousness of guilt." They should rot in prison - cops can't shoot people in the back if they pose no threat to them.
If this were in rural Midwestern America, and the person shot an American citizen, we'd all be up in arms about jackbooted-thugs. But because the victim was an illegal alien, we want him shot like a dog?
Boy I hope you never find a time in your military career when you don't go 100% by the book because you will someday be judged by the same standard by which you judge others.
BTW he was not shot in the back, he was shot in the side which was consistent with the testimony that he had turned and pointed a weapon at them. Maybe you can explain how a fleeing felon can be shot in the side when he is supposed to be running away from the cops? If he was fleeing and not pointing a weapon or otherwise posing a threat to the officers, then he would have been shot in the back. He wasn't. Get your facts straight.
They claimed he did represent a threat to them, which is why a weapon was used.

The "victim" was an "unlicensed pharmacist" i.e., a drug dealer who was smuggling drugs into this country. Since he escaped, we have no way of knowing if he was armed or not or what action he took when confronted by the BP. Perhaps he was armed or made a gesture or action that could have been interpreted that way. You seem so willing to believe a drug smuggler's version of events than law enforcement's.
No --- that's called "obeying your supervisors who were there on the crime scene".

You mean a "drug-smuggling illegal foreigner attempting to shoot a U. S. law enforcement officer".
And why was this dog's drug-smuggling activities, that were taking place even during the trial, withheld from the jury??? And just why has this drug-smuggling lying perjurious dog not been rounded up and prosecuted??? This was a grave miscarriage of justice and George Bush and his lapdogs know it.
A drug smuggling alien at that. The horror of it that they shot him in the butt. This case is more than rule of law...its about protecting our borders and the Open Border crowd that wants Mexico to join with us.
Are you a lawyer? You seem to have an inordinate amount of faith in the Department of Justice and U.S. Attorneys.
Here’s something for you to read to introduce a bit of reality in your life:

Read that and tell me you can trust the Department of Justice to not get convictions of people they know are innocent.
