Attempted murder.

So, making an apples to apples comparison, all criminals shot by police should be able to get the officers charged with attempted murder?

Considering, this isn't even the charge they are in jail for, your argument fails in the first line.

Championing Ramos and Compean is to champion the wrong way of doing things and to celebrate incompetence.

From your lips to Johnny Sutton's ears.

This was a travesty of justice from the get go. Figures you'd come down on the side of some black robed pervert instead of Justice.

“Black robed pervert?” Like the Reagan appointee that wrote the District Court opinion (the one that the 5th Circuit declined to review)?

There is so much wrong with your post, I will only address this one for now....The answer is, criminals shot IN THE BACK, that are UNARMED, yes the officers who do that are usually charged and sentenced to prison.....

The unarmed ones running away, perhaps.

Aldrete-Davila isn't exactly Larry Davis.

Considering, this isn't even the charge they are in jail for, your argument fails in the first line.

The prosecutor played it safe and charged them with assault with a dangerous weapon.

He was guaranteed a conviction on that charge, even though he had sufficient evidence to charge them with attempted murder.

That's his judgment call, and not one I would have made.

Your weakness in constructing rational arguments to support your emotional outbursts is still on display.

The fact is that Compean was an embarassment to the Border Patrol - a ticking time bomb that was bound to go off. The fact that a huge liability like him was allowed to tarnish the service and bring down fellow agents means that there is a reason why our Border Patrol has been so ineffective.

Instead of encouraging incompetents like Compean we should be encouraging excellence.
