The story goes on to say the agent was a dog handler. IIRC Trafficers have been known to sanction killings of sniffer dogs. Just a thought.
These guys wouldn’t stop at killing a dog.
That’s a good catch on your part.
There was a hit on a drug dog a few years ago when I was visiting my father out in NE Missouri. Someone set up a supposed meeting with the officer, and a sniper shot the dog when they arrived for the meeting.
As they have been given a free pass, the Illegal Invaders and their Boss’s have learned that Americans apparently can be run over.Atzlan belongs to them to do whatever they want. Corruption and crime is their way of life and culture.It is their world view, how dare anyone suggest or resist otherwise.They feel this in to the core with the certainty that only the ignorant and illiterate possess.
We have a winner, the cartel has in the past put a bounty on both agents and K-9s. I am sure that the record will show that this particular K-9 team was very effective. This is a significant escalation in the border war.
In the past the cartels generally did not target BP agents simply because they felt it was the increased enforcement and publicity was bad for business and they were still making a profit even with the seizures. Now apparently they increased number of agents along with technology and infrastructure is really hurting the cartels and they are responding as we have predicted they would.
This is just the opening salvo, all hell is going to break loose in the next two years.
