Judging from the video, that's a 100% "righteous" shooting.

Well looks like it’s time for Johnny Sutton to go into the phone booth change his cloths and come out as “Border Patrol Exterminator Man” !!!

Would you throw a rock while an officer holds a gun on you? Why would someone do that? This guy won’t do it again.

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.





Direct MS Player link to the video: Video of shooting in WMV format.

Looks justified to me.

Granted, a rock may or may not be seen as a deadly weapon, it is an incapacitating weapon that could give the perp access to the border agent’s gun.

[hophead]

That’ll teach him!

[TADSLOS]

Never bring a rock to a gunfight.

It would appear that the video has been edited to remove the events leading up to the shooting (Since it is issued by the MSM, it’s just a typical smear job).

Absolutely justied

A rock to the head can cause death, the agent chose to protect himself in the safest way for himself, instead of playing dodgeball with rocks being thrown at his head. Criminals threatening to harm citizens DO NOT get the benefit of the doubt, when will they learn.

Here’s the windup and the pitch, WHOA that’s a balk Johnny, he never delivered the pitch.

San Diego Tribune edited BP shooting video.

I just viewed the video of the BP shooting at the link posted by Ladycalif. It was edited in an obvious attempt to portray it as a bad shooting.

The text portion put in by the Tribune stated the rock thrower was an illegal immigrant. He wasn't an immigrant. He was a smuggler. The agent attempted to apprehend the criminal when he tried to leave the canal. He fought with the agent and then ran towards the marked unit. Somewhere in between the canal and the truck he picked up a rock. This was edited out.

At one point the camera pans away from the agent towards the border fence where you can see six smugglers hurling rocks at the agent. This was edited out.

What the cameras don't show you is that the agents were trapped south of the All American Canal with multiple rock throwers south of the fence. For a better understanding of the terrain go to Google Earth coords:32deg 39.45 min 07 sec/115deg 32 min 47sec.

This looks like a good shoot.

A big rock at point blank range could have killed the BP agent. Case dismissed!

[NRA2BFree]

Never take a rock to a gun fight!

[janetgreen]

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.
