Don't keep us hanging! What is it? (Could there be more to the trial than has been reported in the press?)The only reason that makes sense would be that the agents didn't want to have any official record of the incident at all. Now, if this was all on the up-and-up, having some "been there, done that" in the official record is a good thing.
So why wouldn't they want an official note of this in their records?
Because they weren't on the up-and-up, and something like this on their records would lead to questions they didn't want answered.
What the specific reason is, I don't know.
Makes it sound like they were into something even more illegal.
Were they young or new? Could've just realized they made a mistake shooting at the illegal and panicked. Maybe even if they weren't new. I know I couldn't do a high stress job like that and be clear-headed and sure of my every action 100% of the time.
BTW, sorry to hear about your lung. Thank you for your service to law enforcement.
