CALEXICO – Surveillance video of a deadly shooting last month of a would-be illegal migrant by a Border Patrol agent is prompting calls by the Mexican government for an investigation, although it shows the agent apparently firing in self-defense.

A Border Patrol video of that incident, derived from those surveillance images and originally meant as an internal report to Border Patrol headquarters in Washington, has since been leaked onto the Internet.

Ramiro Gamez Acosta, 20, was shot once in the chest by an agent armed with an M-4 carbine last March 26. He died within minutes.

A non-corrupt democracy would probably be good enough.

Would you throw a rock while an officer holds a gun on you? Why would someone do that?

Because they are dummer than the rocks they like to throw. Cr@p like that happens EVERY DAY on the border. Dumbazz swims the river and thinks there are nothing but wimps on the north side. Had one tell me from the u.S. levee that I had to leave so he could get his 10 wets far enough in to catch a ride. I was standing there holding an AR15 and he actually thought he could just tell me to leave! I yanked the charging handle and picked up the round and threw it at him yelling for him to take a little souvenir back to me-he-co.

So, near as I can tell, yes, they really are THAT stupid.

Hopefully Sutton won't get his dirty hands on this case, and this border patrol agent won't be unfairly imprisoned like Ramos and Compean and others are.

This is like a war, and our putrid "leaders" are allowing the drug cartel to win, at our expense.
