As a retired police officer and one who trained at the same Federal Training Center as the Border Patrol, we were always taught never shoot at a fleeing suspect, not even a armed one normally unless we believe that the escape can cause serious direct harm.
And if thier policy was not to chase, then they should not have been chasing,
If they fired a weapon at an unarmed suspect who was fleeing and shoot them in the back, this is wrong in so many ways and gives good officers a bad name.

Have any of you, wanting to sign this petition, served in the military or in a law enforcement position? Doesn't sound like it! Regardless of the fact that there were drugs involved, he shot at/persued an unarmed person. You do not use deadly force unless warranted. That is illegal...and against Border Patrol policy...period. In addition, his superiors and a court of law both agreed. When you break policy, it reflects on the institution as a whole and the example of law goes both ways. If they allow him to be pardoned, that opens to door for every other Border Patrol Agent to follow suit. It would make more sense to petition the change of policy, than for pardon of breaking a policy...he knew better, especially with 8 yts of experience.

Even though you seem to be the only one who can't tell the difference between my impersonator (fat guy red cape) and me, I have already signed it. Are you the real Hexador?

Already did
And fr chuck-you are missing parts to that story. Many of my family have served and still serve as officers--you know how it goes if you did serve-with just part of the story being told.

Good idea. I already signed, but I'll email it around.
I understand that some Congressmen have agreed to review it, as well.

You people never get the real story? They shot a man/suspect as he was fleeing back to Mexico....
You can't do that in any law enforcement. And then they tried to cover it up.....Border patrol agents have rules they must abide by.....These agents broke the rules and tried to cover it up...
