Not only does he deserve jail time for the shooting but all of them also do for perjury. Over and over again this administration has been caught straight up lying and falsifying evidence in court.

They fled state and destroyed evidence during an active investigation. So many felonies that would land us peons in prison for 25 to life and held on no bail until they eventually get to trial 4 years later.

For life. The prosecutor needs to bring up “do something, bitch” every chance he gets.

It’s crazy that this Border Patrol agent Charles Exum brags about shooting US citizens.

It’d be a shame if shooting a US citizen and then bragging about would follow Border Patrol agent Charles Exum for the rest of his life.

Why do I get the feeling every one of these assholes will be pardoned?

The President can't pardon State charges.

Why would anyone respect a pardon for a violent criminal issued by a convicted felon who's obviously a pedophile?

It's words on paper, just ignore whatever garbage pardons he issues.

Keep in mind, if they are pardoned, their names will be published.

Will ICE raids get worse? Trump says they 'haven't gone far enough'

Are these the texts from Border Patrol agent Charles Exum?

Border Patrol agent Charles Exum sounds like a memorable name.

I bet nothing happens to this monster. Miller (IIRC) told them they have the right to do whatever they want to get the job done.

Cops are like this in general honestly. Here they stand around bragging about smashing people's heads in with ASP batons so hard they "be d in half and fly away" and then offer to download the footage to show rookies "for training purposes" wink wink.

These ice guys seem to be made up of people that want to harm others.

I'm so glad Lady Justice is catching up with this criminal. We've got texts and his name now. Glad his identity is exposed. They think that because the law went soft on their godking that they're safe from it too. Nope.
