Agents fired beanbags in fatal shootout with border robbers

Posted by David Hardy · 3 March 2011 01:47 PM

Further confirmation here. Whoever created that policy should be committed to an institution as a danger to others. The BP agents are being sent out to deal, not with cartel drugrunners, but with robbers who prey upon cartel drugrunners -- hard to envision a more dangerous group of criminals than that. They encounter them at night, I assume at very close range. And engage, under orders to shoot only nonlethal beanbags until the bad guys engage them with real ammunition.

UPDATE: CBS tonight (6:30 EST) will air another segment on ATF-monitored firearms going into Mexico.

If this is indeed the policy, who will join the BP? Community activists? No LEO or military type would ever voluntarily agree to those ROE. Officers should have full powers to smoke check anyone coming across the border with a weapon.
