WHY, INDEED?

"Border Patrol agents should be allowed to shoot at fleeing drug traffickers, a Republican senator suggested Tuesday.  The patrol's deadly force rules were questioned at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing concerning the conviction of two agents who shot a fleeing, unarmed drug trafficker and covered it up.  'Why is it wrong to shoot the (trafficker) after he's been told to stop?' asked Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.

"...Former agents Ignacio Ramos and Alonso Compean are serving 11- and 12-year federal prison sentences, respectively, for the 2005 shooting of drug trafficker Osvaldo Aldrete Davila on the Texas border near El Paso."

Because the "drug traffickers" aren't doing anything wrong by drug trafficking.

Absolutely true, but even by "legal" standards, deadly force shouldn't be authorized unless an innocent person is in immenent danger. This is insane.

Yes, and the article said that the government agents are serving prison sentences for shooting the drug dealer.
