NILAND - A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent was found dead floating in seven feet of water in a canal near the city of Niland, east of Salton Sea, authorities announced today.
Richard Goldstein, 37, a five-year veteran of the Border Patrol assigned to the El Centro Sector's Indio Station, was found floating in the Coachella Canal after agents reported him missing around 3:30 p.m., Border Patrol Agent David Kim said.
Goldstein was discovered floating in the canal almost an hour after agents found his K-9 partner sitting alongside his vehicle, which was parked and idling along the Coachella Canal, Kim said

send it to hannity, dobbs, and o’reilly.
And if hed shot his would-be murderers instead of the other way around, he’d be in jail right now. The whole thing makes me sick.
So, were there any National Guardsmen in the area who could have protected this brave border patrolman, or had they all run away, per their rules of engagement? Just curious...
What, he tripped and fell in and drowned? The comments on this story are interesting.
Yeah, send it to Dobbs. He’ll hit the ceiling...!
They already know
Its sad but the MSM has increasingly become a source of disinformation and propaganda rather than truth. Once upon a time, they used to serve the interests of the American people, even if it was often labeled “yellow journalism”. Now, its all spin, spin, spin for their various masters.
Thank G-D for Drudge, Freerepublic, & WND.
i hope that there wasn’t any pc fear for the agent, i.e. must get hurt first before i shoot, even in fear for life
Hey President Bush!...did you hear about this?...What are you going to do?...turn your back of course!
don’t forget savage, this will be on his site, he really supports the BP, “la migra”
Very, very little play in the local Palm Springs media...a couple of paragraphs in the paper and a fifteen second “story” on any of the three local TV channels.
isn’t that very telling and sad, that a law enforcement officer’s death, receives a sound bite, 15 seconds at best, you couldn’t pay me enough to do their jobs, have to worry at every stop, am i going to be dead, if i do my job am i going to jail?
these questions have to be running through their mind, knowing how the BP and police in general are assumed guilty many times, and a quick “rush to judgment” by the MSM and the usual suspects
Savage is going to go ape sh-t tonite on this one.
It's going to get uglier and uglier in the years ahead. It's a shame that Bush has no courage to deal with this problem, but it's going to have to be dealt with sooner or later.
Yes, but in these PC times it’s an act of “nothing to see here, move along”!
