All of this hooey about the law never being intended for LEO’s is just hogwash.

Senator Cornyn disagrees with you:

..."this prosecution sends a message to every law enforcement agent that if you shoot in the line of duty and you cannot prove that you were justified in using deadly force, regardless of whether you were mistaken in that belief, you'll be prosecuted and receive at least 10 years incarceration under 18 USC Section 924(c) stacked on top of other sentences; this despite the fact that Section 924(c) was never intended by Congress to be used to punish law enforcement officers who use their weapons in the line of duty."

Do you ever bother to read the rest of peoples posts? What part of “in the line of duty” do you not understand? How is what Cornyn said any different than what I have stated?

The petticoats of people who have been using Ramos and Compean to further their own agendas, whether it be border security, illegals, brown people, the new world order, the illuminati or just plain get George Bush, are starting to fray. And you have been at the head of the pack. For over a year you and a few others have been wailing and gnashing your teeth over the horrible treatment of R&C and not once have you asked Hunter or others why they don’t simply pass legislation to correct and clarify this law regarding LEO’s.

Because when your agenda is politics or propaganda killing the golden goose is dumb. Which is sad because Ramos and Compean rot in prison while you play your PR games.

So don’t come in here and shed your crocodile tears over them, because their welfare is farthest from your mind.
