I thought the BP could not shoot at anyone, isn’t that how two agents went to jail a few years back?
.......I thought the BP could not shoot at anyone...........

Yeah...so much for that.
He was wearing camo and carrying a long gun. BP prolly thought he was cartel.
Although, wearing camo and carrying a long gun ain’t uncommon in Texas. I guess standing at the border wearing camo and carrying a long gun was the unlucky combination.
Musta been a Cracker.
They can't shoot illegal mexicans, but Americans.................they can shoot all day!
I really hate to sound so politically incorrect here, but...
He probably did not look like a mexican.
Border Patrol agents are obviously not allowed to shoot at mexicans.
Just look back at the FR archives to read the news reports about not only enemy fire coming from the other side of the border aimed against the BP there, but the blatant flying of a mexican helicoptor with prominent markings overflying agents with total disregard of the illegality of the act since they had no jurisdiction on our side of the border and the BP agents doing nothing at all in response.
I will not publicly say what their responce SHOULD have been...
BP cannot shoot at criminal illegals. Americans are just fine for target practice.
Would not surprise me in the least if this was a word for word directive from Holder and Obama.
Sounds like they’ve modified their ROE’s-—go ahead and shoot on sight, ask questions later, especially on private property. A few incidents like that and the BP’s can expect the same in return. The story didn’t exactly say they caught the wetbacks they were chasing-—just the first guy who wasn’t moving? For just a few minutes I’m gonna assume we didn’t get the whole story here yet?
