You want to get your blood boiling, then read about these two Border Patrol agents, this is outrageous. We now know the world has flipped on it’s axis. Give the drug smuggler immunity to testify against Border Patrol agents and then give more weight to his testimony than the agents.

Border Patrol Agent Ignacio Ramos could hear his heart racing. He could feel the dry, hot dust burning against his skin as he chased a drug trafficker trying to flee back into Mexico.
Ramos’ fellow agent, Jose Alonso Compean, was lying on the ground behind him, banged up and bloody from a scuffle with the much-bigger smuggler moments earlier.

Suddenly the smuggler turned toward the pursuing Ramos, gun in hand. Ramos, his own weapon already drawn, shot at him, though the man was able to flee into the brush and escape the agents.

Now, nearly 18 months after that violent encounter, Ramos and Compean are facing 20 years in federal prison for their actions.

Why?

According to the U.S. attorney who successfully prosecuted the agents, the man they were chasing didn’t actually have a gun, shooting him in the back violated his civil rights, the agents didn’t know for a fact that he was a drug smuggler, and they broke Border Patrol rules about discharging their weapons and preserving a crime scene.

Even more broadly, Assistant U.S. Attorney Debra Kanof said, Ramos and Compean had no business chasing someone in the first place.

So according to this Kanof, if it was Osama, the Border Patrol can’t chase him!

They did find 800 lbs of marijuana in Aldrete-Davila’s van (he’s of course the Mexican drug smuggler). And then of course, this illegal alien is suing the Border Patrol for $5 Million dollars for violating his civil rights. Argggggg. This is how cockeyed our Homeland Security has become, just like with the “insurrgent’s” in Iraq, we are treating the criminals and terrorists better than those protecting us.
