That would be a typical M.O. for a Mexican drug gang. We have all seen the recent articles about gang shootings of Mexican reporters for daring to write stories about them.
Apart from the terrible injustice to the agents themselves, it's another reason why the Ramos/Campeon prosecution was a huge mistake. Why should the drug gangs fear American law enforcement when the President himself appears to be on their side?
That is something that keeps this whole controversy about the border in the spotlight. Why should the drug gangs fear law enforcement when the perception is that our Government will bend over backwards to put our own agents in jail for doing their job? If necessary, our own Government will let a drug dealer commit perjury to convict an agent.
Well stated.
