“Talking points” is such a cliche. In this case, both Bob and I have read the transcripts of the trial, and the same news reports.
It’s like thinking there’s a conspiracy when the teacher asks “what’s 2+2” and the entire class says “4”.
There are only TWO BP agents that I am coming close to trashing, and in fact I don’t really want to trash them either, I’m just not fighting their conviction. BTW, that’s at least 2 fewer BP agents than the pro-C/R people are trashing.
Get that — the pro-C/R people trash a LOT MORE Border Agents than either Bob or I do. And in fact, while Bob and I are simply agreeing with the verdict of a jury, many of the C/R supporters are accusing many MORE BP agents with criminal activity when they haven’t even been charged, much less arrested and convicted of any criminal activity.
So our “bashing” is much more grounded in reality than that of the pro-C/R folks.
It’s funny, isn’t it? All we do is quote facts and trial testimony regarding the adjudicated illegal firing of weapons by LEO’s. They, on the other hand, trash anyobody and everyone associated with the case. Almost ALL the other BP agents (they’ve called them liars and corrupt), the supervisors at the station, the prosecutors, judge, jury, justice adminsitration...right up to Bush and DHS.
Yet we’re the ones “not supporting our fine men in uniform”.
