I WAS A POLICE OFFICER FOR FIVE YEARS IN A SMALL NORTH CENRAL TEXAS COUNTY. I WAS SENTENCED TO 18 MONTHS IN FEDERAL PRISON ON JULY 19, 2006 IN THE US DISTRICT COURT/EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS. I WAS ENVOLVED IN A HIGH SPEED PURSUIT WITH A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SUSPECT. THE PURSUIT LASTED FOR APPROX 30 MINUTES. THE SUSPECT WAS PLACED IN CUSTODY AND PUT IN MY PATROL UNIT TO BE TRANSPORTED.MY PARTNER ALSO MY SENIOR OFFICER ASKED THE SUSPECT IF HE KNEW HOW MANY INNOCENT CIVILLIANS AND POLICE OFFICERS LIVES HE ENDANGERED. THE SUSPECT LAUGHED AND STATED I GUESS QUITE A FEW. MY PARTNER INSTRUCTED ME TO STOP THE CAR. MY PARTNER EXITED THE VEHICLE AND CONFRONTED THE SUSPECT. MY PARTNER AND THE SUSPECT BEGAN TO ARGUE WITH EACH OTHER. DUE TO THE DARKNESS AND PETITION IN MY PATROL VEHICLE I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. MY PARTNER LOST HIS TEMPER AND STRUCK THE SUSPECT CAUSING A BLACK EYE. I DID NOT SEE HIM STRIKE THE SUSPECT BUT WAS INFORMED OF IT AT A LATER DATE. A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS INFORMED A FBI AGENT WANTED TO TALK TO ME AND MY PARTNER. I ASKED MY PARTNER WHAT THIS WAS ABOUT. MY PARTNER INSTRUCTED ME THAT THIS WAS ROUTINE AND THAT THE AGENT HAD TO QUESTION US ABOUT THE SUSPECT. MY PARTNER SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE AND TOLD ME NOT TO SAY NOTHING HAPPENED AND NOT VOLUNTEER ANY INFROMATION. AT THE TIME I HAD APPROX TWO YEARS EXPERIENCE AND WAS A YOUNG OFFICER, MY PARTNER WAS MORE EXPERIENCE AND WAS NOT JUST THE SENIOR OFFICER ON THE SHIFT BUT WAS ALSO THE TACTICAL TEAM LEADER THAT I WAS A MEMBER OF. I TOLD THE AGENT NOTHING HAPPENED. I REGERET THAT STATEMENT AND I DO NOT CONDONE WHAT I DID OR WHAT MY PARTNER DID. I DO AGREE THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCIPLINED, BUT THIS IS TO EXTREME. I HAVE A WIFE AND THREE YOUNG CHILDREN. I HAVE LOST MY JOB, CAREER, AND MY LIVELYHOOD. IT WAS MY DREAM TO BE A POLICE OFFIER SINCE I WAS 9 YEARS OLD. I LOVED MY JOB PROTECTING SOCIETY AND DOING MY PART IN THE WAR AGAINST CRIME. THE US FEDERAL DISTRICT ATTORNEYS HAVE ONE AGENDA AND THAT TO PUT AS MANY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN PRISON AS POSSIBLE. OUR PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. THE RISKS TO OUR LIVES WE TOOK AND THE LIVES WE SAVED ARE NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.THESE US ATTORNEYS NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED AND COMMON SENSE NEEDS TO BE USED WHEN PROSECUTING OFFICERS. I AM NOT A CRIMINAL I WAS PLACED IN A SITUATION THAT NO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER SHOULD EVER BE PLACE IN. PLEASE HELP ME GET MY STORY OUT TOO, JUST LIKE THE TWO US BORDER PATROL AGENTS I FEEL A INJUSTICE IS BEING DONE.THANK YOU I FEEL FOR THESE TWO AGENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

This is so wrong in so many ways. The National Guard digging ditches and border patrol agents getting more time in jail than the smuggler would, for just protecting their country.
