Border Patrol agents hands tied.

Story This is exactly what I said yesterday. Our own government is punishing our agents for doing their job. They not only take the word of a criminal, but forgive him for the actual crimes that were committed in this case. "This is the greatest miscarriage of justice I have ever seen," Ramirez said. "This drug smuggler has fully contributed to the destruction of two brave agents and their families and has sent a very loud message to the other Border Patrol agents: If you confront a smuggler, this is what will happen to you." What's the point of having a border patrol if they can't chase the criminals. "How are we supposed to follow the Border Patrol strategy of apprehending terrorists or drug smugglers if we are not supposed to pursue fleeing people?" he continued. "Everybody who's breaking the law flees from us. What are we supposed to do? Do they want us to catch them or not?" Obviously NOT. "It is a violation of Border Patrol regulations to go after someone who is fleeing," she said. "The Border Patrol pursuit policy prohibits the pursuit of someone." This defies all logic. The district attorney who prosecuted this (Assistant U.S. Attorney Debra Kanof - United States Attorney's Office 700 E. San Antonio, Suite 200 El Paso, Texas 79901 Phone: (915) 534-6884Fax: (915) 534-6024 )) should be brought up on charges of aiding and abetting, making a false arrest, interferring with a investigation and being an idiot. "What angers Compean most is a statement he says was made by prosecuting U.S. attorney Debra Kanof, implying his actions were a betrayal of his Mexican heritage." Doesn't that make her racist? Which makes this a hate crime? Woohoo, she'll be going into bonus time. This even has liberal bloggers mad. (Warning: Conspiracy theory that this is Bush's fault. Read at your own risk!!!!!!) It even has CNN saying it is wrong. It seems the only ones winning in this story are the drug smugglers here and abroad and the terrorists walking in their footsteps. We had better lock and load or we'll all be wearing robes. In case you missed it the first time. Debra Kanof United States Attorney's Office 700 E.
