Why is our government allowing US citizens to be tried as criminals when they are protecting our country?

Currently, there are border patrol agents and police officers facing criminal charges because they are protecting our border, country, and citizens. Why is this travesty of justice taking place in our country?

Answer:
I think it is criminal what has been done to these two border patrol agents. The criminal is free and suing the US for $5 million and the heroes are in prison. THAT'S WRONG.

I don't care that the paperwork was wrong. He deserved to be shot in the butt since he was fleeing. Why did they believe a drug smuggler over the agent when the criminal said he didn't have a gun (yea right!).

We have Homeland security claiming that these agents said they were out to "shoot Mexicans" that day but have no documentation to back it up. Something's really stinky here!
Political Correctness the root of all that is evil in the USA
Because the ACLU and other liberal organizations that hate America are turning the laws against them. Lining up false witnesses, etc.
Because you are supposed to protect the law by using the law, not by breaking it.

But that is too complex a concept for the typical right-wing trash in these boards.
All I can say is I'm locked and loaded
They may be doing a Nobel job but, they may also be breaking our laws at the same time. Its not like police officers are always honest about everything they do.
How about because no one is above the law?
Because rule of law as we know it, is being changed.

This will affect all of us. It's what's taking place now. i'm sure you are all feeling the tremendous squeeze on your wallets and checkbooks?
obviously illegals have all the rights while citizens have none, thus encouraging them to remain illegal.. go figure
Because your legal system allows for it. Its called public accountability. And not all those who protect the borders do so out of a sense of duty. Some are also criminals themselves and choose to operate outside the law by operating under its protective envelope. There must be freedom to investigate each public employee and the acts or omissions they make. Being charged and investigated is not an indication of guilt for a wrongdoing, but a system of checks and balances.

So get used to that because its here to stay.
THEY BROKE THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!! any other easy questions?
They were doing their job. The person was trafficking drugs over the border. More than likely they are armed. I don't want be defenseless to a criminal when they will kill me without mercy.
Again you are spewing your uneduacted opinion on this forum. You are not in law enforcement and don't know the whole story. So with no facts figures or quotes again this is just pointless rambling.
bush and the mexican president are playing with each others ballz. it's disgusting are govt wont defend are borders.
i have no idea but i think we need to put a stop to it!
This makes me very mad, and some people in here think they can just shoot out "because they broke the law" is the answer to this..you watch and see what happens..These men did their job, and apparently letting a "DRUG DEALER" is better off then a Border Agent protecting us? There is alot more to this case that I wish others would read..if you go out and follow up on the web on this you will see what really happened. I wish I knew how this happened...Both of these men who had young kids at home who if have to serve the full sentence will not see their kids grow up..for doing their job. We all need to step up and write our government if you feel this is a injustice. Something got lost in the case and some of the jury were told they were mislead.
