A
federal report released Wednesday on the shooting of a drug
smuggler by Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose' Compeon contained a written statement by Compean, which stated he
"clearly believed the drug smuggler had a weapon and feared for his
life."
Compeon's written statement is in direct contradiction to what The Dpt. of Homeland Security has led Congress and the media to believe when it contended it posessed investigative reports proving Ramos and Compeon confessed guilt and declared they "wanted to shoot some Mexicans".
This case raises many questions: Why did DHS investigators lie to congress? Will U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton be held accountable? Why has the White House been so aloof and indifferant regarding the case?
There is no reason for Ramos and Compeon to be serving prison time- especially while their case is under appeal- as they are not a threat to anyone and certainly not a risk of flight. Think of the message this sends to our nations law enforcement professionals: shoot at a drug dealer, risk going to prison.
