I will presume that you have read the document; what is remaining that prevents you from understanding that the agents were firing their weapons in performance of their sworn duty, and thus did not fire their weapons in the commission of a crime? Are you really that twisted?
The prosecution of this case was the crime.
I agree with you.
The case against Ramos and Compean is more than a crime.
ITs a political lynching, orchestrated by that outstanding Panderer to the Mexican Government, Jorge El Segundo and his cronies in the administration. Sutton was merely the tool. The Mexican Government wanted an example made of two American citizens who forgot their ancestry was Mexican and whose primary concern was the defense of America and American citizens.
And the Panderer in the White House saw this was done and apparently continues to see thaqt this miscarriage of justice continues.
I hope Ramos and Compean carry their case to SCOTUS and the Supremes kick it out and slap Jorge across the face in the process.
From the Court's Opinion:
"The government’s evidence showed that the agents had no reason to shoot the drug smuggler—that he had abandoned his van loaded with marijuana, that he was running on foot back to Mexico, that he posed no physical threat to either officer, and that he was shot in the buttocks. It is well established that the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution does not permit officers to shoot a fleeing suspect unless the suspect poses a threat to the physical safety of the officers or to the public."
I’ll prefer from this point forward to discuss the case with people who have read the opinion.
