Well if we don't hold our police accountable to laws too they will just shoot anybody who looks like he might commit a crime, no?

Holding people accountable is one thing. Hanging them out to dry is quite another.

I have a passion for hating poor leaders and tend to idolize the good ones. Probably because they are few and far between.

Good, then we should hold them accountable when they should be held accountable.

Ramos' fellow agent, Jose Alonso Compean, was lying on the ground behind him, banged up and bloody from a scuffle with the much-bigger smuggler moments earlier.

Fighting with a border patrol agent is a little more than just looking like he might commit a crime.

So cops should shoot purse snatchers?
