Well, if a Muslim of a jihad decides to use a 70 mph vehicle, perhaps excess force was something on the order of an anti-tank missile?

It appears any action taken in self-defense by a border patrolmen against criminal aliens is considered “excessive force.” Israel’s lucky he’s not in prison with Ramos and Compean.

Not that these things don’t happen, but I’ll wait for more details, or at least a verdict.

"His court case, which has cost him $80,000 in legal fees..."
Why is his attorney not willing to represent him on a contingency basis. This is very telling.

I believe him. My experience with border control officers is that they are some of the most anti-Semitic bastards I have ever met.
The Canadians are worse than the U.S. and the French-speaking Canadians are the worst of all.
FReepMail to be added or removed from this pro-Israel/Judaic/Russian Jewry ping list.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

It may be that his legal bills total $80K, but the case in being done on a contingency basis. In that case, he has had no out of pocket expenses, but if he collects, the attorney gets his legal fees first.
I agree that this seems very telling, and my BS meter is getting a noticable reading. But then again, I don't trust reporters to get the story straight. I think it may be somewhat garbled.

From the article:
"with even the government not denying that a file of the worthy officer's list of blatant anti-Semitic experiences at his comrades' hands does exist."
This effectively proves that your theory is wrong. There was a history of complaints. He did not make up the complaints after the fact as you suggest "to save his job". And, BTW, why would you say "I don't believe any of the anti-Semitic stuff?" Do you mean it didn't happen? Couldn't happen? Is there something in the story that suggests fabrication? Are border patrol agents too good to be anti-Semites? Curious to hear your theories.

Apparently the officer received citations, awards and even medals. At first glance, he would seem very credible to me.

Why has the MSM in the US not taken up this story, and the first we hear about it is from an
Israeli outlet?
I find it hard to believe that the MSM isn't leaping over itself to report antisemitism in the Bush Administration. Could the reason be that the fired officer did a good job in keeping potential Islamic terrorists out of the country, and is therefore considered unworthy of any coverage by the MSM?

From a press release by Andy Ramirez, Friends of Border Patrol, a 501c3 advocacy group for border patrolmen: "In sworn testimony, Anti-Semitic statements and actions were attributed to CBP Supervisors as corroborated by fellow officers, including a National Treasury Employees Union local official. A file exists on those early incidents involving a swastika sticker placed on Officer Israel's locker and other anti-Semitic actions,
which goes back to the 1990s as acknowledged by the Champlain Port Director. I'd be remiss not to report that most of Brian's mom's family was killed during the Nazi Holocaust of WW2 as they were in the area that became Poland (after WWI).
I don't know which part of the story you're missing or why you gratuitously call this guy a jerk. You should read the press release for a more detailed account of how this guy's case sounds a lot like Ramos' and Campeon's in terms of the government siding with the bad guys.
