What is the purpose of the prosecution of the Border Patrol
Agents? Leaving the political issues of this administration aside what would be
the logical reason to imprison the Border Patrol Agents? Were they a threat to
society or to the illegal immigrants they were charged to apprehend and
process? Were they a risk to the security of this nation by allowing terrorists
to cross our borders unimpeded? Were they corrupt and on the payroll of the
individuals that we would normally imprison because they break our laws and
poison our youth with their illicit chemical concoctions?
I pushed people for a living for many years and I found out
the when discipline is used for reasons other than modifying one’s behavior to
acceptable standards then you are more guilty of unacceptable behavior than the
individual that is being punished. Punishment is reserved as a last resort for
those that refuse to comply with the established rules and policies that govern
their professional behavior. Most importantly the person being punished needs
to know that their behavior has exceeded acceptable limits and this is a
consequence to the violation of the rules. The job of a manager is to let an
employee know how he is performing by being evaluated and measured against those
same acceptable standards and documenting these evaluations to support the
reason for punishment or praise. Punishment is normally done in incremental steps to reinforce
the rules and provide a means for the employee to correct his own behavior.
You would think that someone that is being prosecuted for a
grievous violation of law that their behavior would be some what predictable by
prior illicit acts or deliberate contempt for the rules being broken. From what
I’ve read from the transcripts recently published and prior articles published in
the press there is no trail of prior transgressions but to the contrary that
both were regarded as exemplary employees. If this is truly not the case then
there are some serious questions with management that need to be answered
because they are not doing their job and one really need to question the
government being caught lying at the attempt to paint these agents something
that they weren’t!
What I have noticed by reading the transcripts so far is the
governments attempt to hold these agents to a standard that has not been
applied equally among all of the parties involved in the incident that caused Campion
and Ramos’s prosecution. Much has been made of the fact that a firearm was
discharged and not reported to management. Yet there were two managers at the
scene of this incident. What was their responsibility in reporting violations
of Border Patrol Policy? More concern has been given to the supposed prejudicial
perception of the evidence that the government used to bring an indictment than
the actual crimes of the person they are professing whose rights supposedly
have been violated. One must remember that fleeing from the law is a crime in
itself and had Osvaldo Davila stopped instead of fleeing in a van loaded with
drugs the he wouldn’t have had his plumbing rearranged by a .40 caliber missile
The Border Patrol motto of “Honor First” is sorely missing
in this prosecution. Allegations of Mexico demanding our prosecution of these
agents backed by diplomatic documentation and investigative notes when the
prosecution conveniently says this was initiated by a childhood friend of the
border scum that just so happens to be a Border Patrol Agent is extremely
suspect. The court’s denial of presenting the
fact of subsequent drug smuggling by Davila sealed and hidden from the Jury while under
the benefit and protection of the government’s statement of immunity is more
than enough to have one question what are the true motives of those involved in
the agents prosecution. The delay of the release of the transcripts and the
stonewalling of DHS OIG representatives with the subsequent revelation of they
had no factual evidence to prove their allegations against the Agents screams
of a hidden agenda that requires investigation and prosecution for those
involved. If nothing else a suit of libel should be initiated against the
government on behalf of the agents to have them explain who, what, when and
where did these allegations originate. If nothing else the one consolation is
that they lied to the wrong person when they lied to Ted Poe and these lies will
not die an obscure death hidden in the bureaucracy of Washington.
I know that if I had to choose the options of who I would
want as neighbors I would select Compean and Ramos over Sutton, Kanof, Skinner,
Davila and Bush. I can only hope that Davila’s testicles were casualties in
addition to this slime’s urethra so there is no chance of having this burden on
society procreating and producing more aberrant mutated scum to pollute
society.
