Isn’t this where “The Shield” left off?
A police commander from Mexico’s Federal Investigation Agency has been busted in Southern California on drug trafficking charges. I fear that as long as Mexican government officials continue receiving “offers they can’t refuse” this sort of thing will only become more common.
But how many U.S. Border agents are on the take, I wonder? I keep thinking that the Ramos and Compean case, all misconduct aside, would have never gotten beyond a mere disciplinary proceeding if it wasn’t for someone wanting to get even with the two agents, who remain sentenced to 12 years in prison for shooting a fleeing Mexican drug runner on the butt and then covering up the shooting.
Speaking of irregularities in law enforcement, The Shield returns for its final season on Sept. 2. Only on FX.
