That's why they had to choose between not charging anyone, or charging the suspects who they did have evidence on.<br /><br />Also, both agents, in an effort to cover up their involvement in the illegal shooting, claimed to investigators that they could not identify the smuggler. The smuggler was not charged due to the criminality and false statements made by the agents, not because of some government conspiracy to legalize drug smuggling.um nothing hehehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402231455620771511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-22137095244766083122007-01-19T13:26:00.000-05:002007-01-19T13:26:00.000-05:00BMJ -- You ignore the violations of the law on the...BMJ -- You ignore the violations of the law on the part of the illegal-alien drug smuggler. And those violations on the agents' part that were actually <i>provable</i> (as opposed to trumped-up or based solely on the testimony of the perp) were, at worst, violations of regulations that, in a sane world, would have resulted in reprimands, if that.MrScribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743761169195087103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-54413515639172991402007-01-19T11:43:00.000-05:002007-01-19T11:43:00.000-05:00As long as I am on the side of the rule of law, I ...As long as I am on the side of the rule of law, I am fine with what happened.<br /><br />Cops are not above the law.um nothing hehehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402231455620771511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-50479411685829463932007-01-19T08:25:00.000-05:002007-01-19T08:25:00.000-05:00BMJ -- What facts?

If (a) the illegal had not been trying to run drugs, (b) had not tried to flee, (c) had not tried to fight with the agent and (d) had not acted in a way to make the agent assume he had a weapon (reasonable, considering he was a drug smuggler), none of this would have happened.<br /><br />It amazes me that some people worry more about the "rights" of criminals than the rights of peace officers and American citizens.<br /><br />I don't. And I still maintain the real criminals in this case are the illegal-alien drug smuggler and the members of the Bush administration who railroaded the agents to keep their "pals" South of the border happy.MrScribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743761169195087103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-80609717180639562952007-01-18T16:53:00.000-05:002007-01-18T16:53:00.000-05:00Actually, the rationale I am making about civil ri...Actually, the rationale I am making about civil rights in the United States trumping usurpation of the Constitution is that 1) every person on U.S. soil is protected by the Constitution, and 2) police officers are not allowed to act in a extrajudicious manner.<br /><br />These men thought they were judge, jury and executioner; this is where they erred and are rightfully paying a steep price for their misjudgement.um nothing hehehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402231455620771511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-49405228861679883082007-01-18T14:03:00.000-05:002007-01-18T14:03:00.000-05:00Based on that rationale, BMJ, the agents should ha...Based on that rationale, BMJ, the agents should have let him go about his business, drop off the drugs, wander in and out of the country as he wished and, if he happened to shoot at them should have just taken the bullet?<br /><br />Apply the fourth Amendment broadly enough -- as some people seem bent on doing -- and we might as well just turn the country over to the criminals.MrScribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743761169195087103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062571.post-35691837586752504052007-01-18T13:50:00.000-05:002007-01-18T13:50:00.000-05:00All human beings inside United States territory ar...All human beings inside United States territory are protected under the United States Constitution.
