Just your average white canuck, I’m sure

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

At least some of the Northern Border has Border Patrol Agents.

[Puppage]

The agency said the officer was interviewing the three who were on foot at about 2:15 a.m. when he was assaulted

Took a while for this break, no?

[mware]

Henry said he couldn't release the names of the suspects in custody. He did not know their nationalities.

Can I take a guess????

[Bahbah]

Glad the BP Agent is okay and at least two of these people are in custody. Nice work!

[fanfan]

[Abathar]

He Fired?? How soon before the arrest and perp walk of this guy...

[Truth29]

"Henry said he couldn't release the names of the suspects in custody. He did not know their nationalities."

"Can I take a guess????"

It is certainly convenient that the Spokesman cannot release the names and doesn't know the nationalities. I they were the feared Amish, would that information be all over the net?

Henry said he couldn't release the names of the suspects in cusody. He did not know their nationalities.

Yeh, all those Canadians look alike.

[cripplecreek]

It’s also good to know that we can count on Canadian authorities to do what they can to find the suspect on their side of the border.

[chicagolady]

Ok, he did not know their Nationality, But I worked as a Police Dispatcher.
We asked the following questions: What were they wearing
Height Approx weight
Skin color (if you could see it.
Did they speak with and accent??
Glasses,

The following are some description questions you may be asked: gender, race, age, clothing descriptions (from head to toe), physical descriptions (such as tattoos, hair color, birthmarks, etc)

ETC ETC ETC... Lots of ways to figure out more about these folks.

[SargeK]

"The Border Patrol is working with its federal, state, local, and Canadian law enforcement partners in order to locate the subject."

Yeah, so they can have a complaining witness at the trial where they put the border patrol officer away for twenty years.

[kjo]

Possibly......North African yoots?

[xDGx]

‘Mohammed Doright’ was released on lack of evidence...

[willgolfforfood]

Canadians, eh? Sneaking in? Yah, fer sure.

[The Lumster]

Damn snowbacks!

[MD_Willington_1976]

The fleeing suspect was the mayor of Toronto, he sneaks down into the US, buys guns, takes them back to Toronto, hands them out to gang members, in turn the gang members use the guns in crimes in Toronto, then the mayor gets on the TV and goes on about the gun violence problems because of US guns and how all the fancy gun control laws will stop this...

Self propagating bureaucracy !

Henry said he couldn't release the names of the suspects in cusody. He did not know their nationalities.

Why not? Maybe because they have Middle Eastern-sounding names?

[centurion316]

Pesky Canadians! Next thing you know they are going to show up on my doorstep offering to mow my grass for a couple of beers, eh. Think we need to call out the Vermont National Guard.
