what is scary is that I expect emotional mistatements from the left...but I find the very same type of thing from some on the right as represented by the above. Their anger concerning the lack of border enforcement is blinding their commonsense.
BTW - I don’t think either Ramos nor Compean are “bad cops” in the sense that they are corrupt, I think Compean made a really bad mistake in firing on OAD and Ramos was just doing his job protecting Compean. That is why I think they should be set free for time served.
But I cannot condone the destruction of evidence and the attempted cover up. If they had come forward at the start and admitted what happened, everyone might have believed the black shiny object story but when the first thing they do is to lie about it, it makes everything they say afterward suspect.
BTW - They’re testimony was awful. A whole lot of holes and statements that other agents contradicted. Of course, the R&S supporters say the other agents and supervisors were all lying and they suggest another one is corrupt and compromised by the drug smugglers....I guess that’s how they claim to “support the Border Patrol agents”.
They must mean support only the ones that shoot unarmed fleeing suspects in the back, the rest, and their reputations, are expendable.
