Where did this 'order' of no live ammunition come from....AZ or Washington, D.C.? A good man was murdered doing his job because some idiot issued this toy gun order.

WHOSE ORDER WAS IT TO SEND THIS BORDER PATROLMAN OUT TO STOP THE DRUGGIES WITH NO LIVE FIRE POWER????? Janet Napolitano NEEDS TO COME FORWARD NOW AND ANSWER THIS.

"Bean Bag" rounds are FINE if all one wants to do is play a long range version of Mattel's kids' game "Toss Across", but I can think of NO logical reason why they would even be ISSUED to Border patrol agents.

Outrageous, if true. I hope someone follows up on this.

Since when has anything Janet INCOMPETENTO has done passed muster as LOGICAL??

If this proves out, I hope Terry’s family sues the s**t out of whoever issued that beanbag order. I hope it was Big Sis.

After the 9/11 attacks when the airports reopened some had National Guard Troops patrolling them.

Come to be that some weren’t issued ammunition with the excuse being they were just there for ‘show’ and there was plenty of ‘firepower’ around to cover the situation.

It was pointed out that the fact that a person, in a Military uniform, with a weapon, loaded or not, is automatically a target.

I think it was in Maryland that a parent threatened to sue because of this, since his son was one of the troops.

Bean bag rounds do a heck of a fine job at beating one single lone target down at very close range, nothing else.
Beyond a distance of -say- ten foot, your butt is toast if that is all you have.

While it is easy to believe that the federal agent may have been carrying a non-lethal weapon, it strains credulity to assert that was the only weapon he was carrying.

I've been around federal law enforcement officers my entire adult life. I have never known them to be without a sidearm outside of a sterile area, like a courtroom or a interview room. Ever. I don't believe they'd be actually in the field entirely absent a fully-lethal weapon.

If she issued that order she is responsible for that mans death and therefore should be tried for the murder. This government is NOT the government I grew up with. I want my government back from the sleazy, amoral, spineless, elitist tripe that have hijacked it. And, I want Soros banned from the USA.

It really doesn’t matter what the author of this article wants, or what you an id want.

It is obvious to any buit a damned fool that our Government higher ups have decided that the Borders of our country will be open to any and all who want to freely roam across them.

There may some little show of slowing them down at the Border crossings, but only one of their idiots would try to cross there. The real place top come into America is almost anywhere except the Border Crossings.

Once here those same higher ups aredetermined to make these illegal into citizens with educations health care, Social security and a citizenship even better than mnost fist class Americans.

And you know what???? There isn’t a damned thing we can do about it. We are being sold out by our politicians and liberals , and there isn’t a damned thing we can do about it. Votign is just a waste of time.

Reports of drug cartels' observation posts in the mountains have yet to be confirmed by the news media, but it makes sense. They can watch the trails, the roads, the traffic and the airspace and radio the information back to smugglers about to enter the area. The drug lookouts have state of the art technology; level 3 night vision, encrypted radios and burst transmitters making it hard to track them down.

If true, this is an invasion of US land by hostile forces. The US military ^should^ be brought in to eliminate said contrary forces.

If that’s how they sent him in to that area, then there’s a supervisory chain that needs to be indicted for murder.

Hostile OPs in mountainous terrain? We have some excellent men perfectly trained for exactly this kind of mission.

And risk provoking the hispanic voter demographic? Are you nuts? /s

Hey Big Sis!

Walmart is having a special on paintball guns!

Maybe if you buy enough of them it will count as “Stimulous money”!

Idiots!

This needs verification.

I would personally send in our Devil Dogs to make amends. I am not making decisions though. I know our present government is thankful for this fact.
