Unfortunately, the government's recent past isn't good.

Bush's Department of Justice, brought an admitted Mexican drug smuggler, who had been wounded by BP agents to the U.S. to testify.. In order to get him to testify against the BP agents, they offered him immunity against drug smuggling charges not once, but twice. He was caught bringing a second load of drugs into the country after testifying.

Patrolling the border is a tough job. The agents face
mortal danger every day. Accidents happen.

By the way, the drug smuggler is now suing the U.S. government for violating his civil rights.

I've read the news releases from both sides of the Ramos/Compean incident and if it's true that these two fired 15 rounds at an un-armed man who had surrendered and put up his hands, well then I say they got off light with only a 11 and 12 year sentences. I also read that they were offered a plea deal that would have them only doing 18 months and they turned it down. Having a tough job does not entitle you to "007" license to kill powers. One shot is an accident, emptying a clip is not an accident.
