In El Paso, Texas, two Border Patrol agents who shot a fleeing drug courier in the buttocks were found guilty March 9 of assault, weapons crimes, tampering with evidence, and deprivation of civil rights. Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean face at least 10 years in federal prison for shooting Osvaldo Andrade Davila, a Mexican citizen, as he fled back across the border when they interrupted his effort to carry a package of drugs into the US. Ramos and Compean also conspired to cover up the shooting by removing spent shell casings from the scene. The pair turned down a plea bargain for 18-month sentences. They have been suspended with pay since the February 2005 incident, and Border Patrol officials said they will now consider firing them.

Thanks for posting that source link.

Folks may want to check out the site it comes from..

StoptheDrugWar.org

http://stopthedrugwar.org/about

Funny how here the agents are stopping drugs and now are in the line of fire themselves, but we know that's all just a legality now. Criminal actions must be punished.

PS,, Is Soros a contributor to the site? He has his fingers in damn near everything globally these days, wouldn't surprise me in the least.
