And for the umpteenth time (and this something you just cannot get thru your head) I will respond that Ramos and Compean didn't shoot an illegal alien drug dealer, they shot a fleeing suspect who took them on a short high speed chase.

Umpteenth applies to your nutcase assertion of what they believed. You can certainly argue what you believe. But you cannot argue what they believed. They were there. You were not. Ramos was eating lunch at the station. He testified that he responded because it was called out as "narcotics smuggling". Kanof attempted to pillory him because the ten code supposedly meant "narcotics apprehended". That is a red herring. Ramos responded because narcotics was involved. Nearly the whole complement of the station also responded including Supervisor Richards with camera in tow. Plus Davila got shot in the ass for his actions.

And retarded or not in your opinion, I'm light years ahead of your Chef Boyardee spaghetti brains. What is the difference between BobJ's brains and a plate of spaghetti? The tomato sauce.

Dude, you’re either 8 years old, or retarded.

Compean certainly did not know that Aldrete-Davila's van was transporting marijuana before he fired at him. And I don't think there's any timeline that indicates that Ramos knew the van contained marijuana before he fired his shot.

The marijuana was discovered after Aldrete-Davila escaped, and agents had searched the van. Everyone and their mothers may have suspected drugs were involved as radio calls were coming-in, the van was being chased, Aldrete-Davila was running away, etc., but that's not how you can arrive at the conclusion that Aldrete-Davila was smuggling drugs.

But here we go again: it doesn't matter in any case--in fact, even if Compean and Ramos knew in advance (using ESP or otherwise) that drugs were involved, that simply makes the subsequent events that much more mind-numbingly stupid. By picking up brass (by a few), lying that he was not assaulted (Compean), failing to report gunfire (nearly everyone), etc., Ramos and Compean assured that Aldrete-Davila could not be prosecuted for the marijuana in the van even if he was later apprehended.

"We unlawfully acted because he is a drug-smuggler, thereby ensuring that he could not be prosecuted for drug-smuggling" is not a viable law enforcement technique.
