Help the Border Patrol continue to do their jobs.

Two U.S. Border Patrol Agents have been sentenced to a
decade long prison terms for apprehending an illegal
alien at our border!

Almost as outrageous is that the illegal alien drug
smuggler, who was given immunity for testifying against
the agents is now suing the U.S. for $5 million, claiming
he was permanently injured!

I have just signed a petition calling for the President
to pardon these two Border Agents and I’m asking you to
join with me by clicking here for the full story and the petition:

Thanks!

The above is what I was sent to basically broadcast to my friends that this was going on. The two border patrol guys shot the illegal alien drug smuggler in the BUTT - like that's gonna kill him. Regardless, these two guys were doing their jobs, and are now facing jail time for whatever reason related to shooting this guy.

So - help these guys to continue doing their jobs!

He was shot in the butt? As in he was had his back turned towards them?

Um - as in probably running from our justice system, and had to be taken down somehow.

If you had to disable somebody in one small way, without killing them - what would you do?
DUH!

Duh? Well, I couldn't hear the story, my sound wasn't working. Maybe you didn't know that a ploice officer, and I'm sure that goes for any officer, cannot shoot someone in the back. If someone is shooting at an officer and they return fire, and then the suspect turns around and they are accidentily hit in the back - the officer will still get in trouble. Even cops have laws, Liz. I was just looking for the details. An officer shoots when a suspect is attacking them or someone else - not when they are running away. that's why they have cars, radios and helicoptors. So lets think before we imply things with words like duh. I just thought I'd get some details before I jumped to any conclusions. My mistake.

Sorry. I didn't watch any videos - I just read several articles.

Honestly, I think they did right. Maybe an investigation - but to throw them automatically in jail should not be first priority. That's my opinion.

I didn't hear the story, that's why I was clarifing what you said. I'm sure they weren't thrown in jail automatically. You get a trial or hearing in this country. My point was, just because they were doing there job, doesn't mean they don't have rules too. You can't shoot someone in the back because they are running - you shoot when the suspect is showing aggression.

Get all the facts, that's all I'm saying.
