Ramos & Compean Case Still Raising Questions

I have heard the facts of the Ramos & Compean case many times.

My sticking point in this whole thing is this: (and perhaps you have thoughts on it you can share?)

I just can't over come the fact that the DOJ charged these men for "using a gun" during a "crime," when they were both on the job protecting the border.

(This, by the way, automatically added 10 years to any sentence).

Using a gun during a crime?? They were border agents, using guns issued by the border patrol, while they were on shift guarding the border. That the DOJ charged them with "using a gun" during a "crime" just smacks of bending the law for politics.

Ramos and Compean both shot at someone they thought was a drug running criminal, in the course of their job as border patrol officers, and he got away. I don't know how that can be called a crime?

Where is the crime?

Unless enforcing the border is a crime?

If they shot at the drug runner, and that stopped him, and they arrested him, would it still have been a crime? If so, why would two experienced border officers do that? They wanted to commit career suicide that night?

I am convinced that when they shot, they thought they were doing the right thing.

From what I understand, both Compean and Ramos said the drug runner had a gun and shot at them. The drug runner said in court that he didn't have a gun. But I think the he is a seriously discredited witness from everything I heard (had immunity and anonymity in the trial. The jury didn't get to know who he was, why he was on the border that night, or that he was a drug runner that ran drugs before and during the trial.)

(How many border drug runners are unarmed, on average??)

Anyway, Ramos and Compean, as long term border agents, were shooting at the man to stop him, so they could capture him, and arrest him. DOJ claiming the whole scenario was a crime is saying Ramos and Compean were rogues who shot at the drug runner with the intent of killing him and hiding the body or something????

What was their motivation to do a criminal act like that? They have no history of this.

It doesn't make sense.

As far as hiding the evidence? Again, I'd say that they were experienced officers who have been on the force for years and they wouldn't have done that if they apprehended the drug runner and arrested him.

So keeping that in mind I have two theories of why they disposed of the shells. One, perhaps it was laziness to avoid writing a report? Or two, perhaps it was common practice among all officers to just throw away shells when there is no apprehension, and hence no report is written.

If anything, these men should have been punished for not writing a report, and for throwing away the shells, by their job. But I just don't think the charges and the prosecution was just.

Ramos and Compean were two family guys out there doing their job for the United States of America. They were not out on a crime spree!

This is something I just can't reconcile in this case, which makes me certain politics are involved.

Along with that always comes injustice.
