As I said, some people just resent authority and puff up their chests to show how tough they are. They suffer from a victim mentality, IMO.

They aren't on the border. They are 100 miles inland.

And my posts said that if LE in any form aren't following the rules then they should be reported. So just what else are you reading into them?

They are not allowed to.

Oh, I see so most Border Patrol and other LE are all violating the Constitution. They are totally disregarding the training that they got. Gotcha!

I vote Harry Reid, for obstruction and blatant lies on the Senate floor.
Hanging is too good for him.
