To: Rodney King

These two BP agents are LE officers. They shot a man in the back and tried to cover it up.Being a Drug dealer and being illegal is a fact, true, but cops shouldn’t shoot an unarmed man and then lie about it.We held clinton to the same standard, he was impeached for lying and trying to cover it up. I have had it with cops who think can do whatever they want with impunity.

How do you know he was an unarmed man? Did he say so? LOL!

If a border patrol agent can't shoot somebody, then all they have to do is run on by, and your rule will keep the border patrol from stopping anyone. Of course they tried to cover it up, they didn't want to go to jail for stopping a drug dealer from invading our country.

My understanding of the case is that:

1) the perp was shot in the back because he was fleeing the scene - and with grievous wound, somehow managed to escape.

2) When picking up shell casings, the agents were helped and accompanied by their supervisors.

3) Supervisors were aware of the shooting.

4) The LEOs said they saw the perp with a gun. Anyway, whether or not the fleeing suspect was armed has no bearing on the use of force to stop him.

5) No written or further report of the incident was required by formal policy.

6) A known drug smuggler was given amnesty and other remuneration for testimony, and later permitted to go about his illegal business without interference by boarder guards, on the orders of Sutton.
