"shooting him in the back violated his civil rights, "

Do you believe that you can shoot someone in the back if you suspect him of being illegal?

Do you believe that a BP has to say halt until they are mowed down for not defending themselves.

Any person, LEOs included, can end up shooting someone in the back for a good reason. Happens quite often actually. It's just harder to explain to a jury. If someone is running away from me and has their head and shoulders turned towards me pointing a gun at me, am I in danger? I say yes. I'd have to get some very solid attorneys and an expert witness from the Force Science guys at Mankato University. But it's legal and appropriate.

A fleeing felon? Hell yes. Happens all the time to real American Citizen criminals.

Since when do illegals running away back across the Mexican border from a truck load of drugs have major civil rights beyond the right to ALTO when the border patrol tell them to?

What possible story could the prosecution give for going after these guys and how bad or drunk was the defense in this case?

The illegal alien drug runner is now also suing America for 5 million bucks.
