They just shot him because he made them look bad.

Male bovine feces! Ramos was never made to look bad since his only "direct" encounters with Davila was to shout at him and eventually nail him in the posterior at around 180 feet with a 40 S&W.

BTW. I just got back from another trip which allowed me to remeasure the ditch. I was wrong. The angle is extremely difficult to accurately measure, but the best I could do was calculate that it was around 55 degrees. This was after two visits, one going and one on return.

The "going" trip was nearly fruitless due to high winds. The only measure I could do was to reverify the hypotenuse as 17 feet and got a tenuous measure of 60 degrees for the slope. On return I got a better angle measurement(I trust it more) with a result of a ~55-60 degree angle. This was backed up with a measurement with rocks(yeah, rocks which you belittle). Three sets of 10 rocks( 30 total) gave me, 1.181, 1.18, and 1.195 seconds for time of fall. Subtracting a determined 0.1 second delay factor from the average of the three sets results in a time of 1.085 seconds giving a height of ~18.8 feet above the water. Subtracting the height of the toss above the ground gives around 14 to 15 feet for the depth of the ditch. This measure agrees with the ~55-60 degree angle measured. The long and short is that the ditch is not 20 feet deep. That does not mean that Compean fell head first into the ditch. He still would have gone to the bottom had that happened.

P.S. The BP probably are accustomed to me. The did not come to ask me what I was doing.

Thank you for the info. I saw a photo of the canal and it was my contention from what I saw in the photograph that Aldrete could not have walked up the slope towards Compean with his “hands raised” etc, etc. as Johnny Sutton made such a point of saying. Everything Sutton said in such detail seemed to be a point that he was trying to make without evidence. He was not there. Only Compean and Aldrete know what transpired, and Sutton chose to believe the drug smuggler. Maybe the Agents couldn’t “prove” he was a drug smuggler, but by the time it got to Sutton, Sutton knew he was a drug smuggler, and he chose to side with the drug smuggler instead of the Agents.

And even though the evidence indicated the fleeing Aldrete was shot from a side angel, Sutton kept claiming he was “shot in the back” to smear the Agents before the case went to trial.

Sutton’s abuse of his office is a far greater threat to this country than anything the Agent’s did, even if they did what was alleged.
