Of course, the Mexican criminals had actual bullets in their rifles, and after our Border Patrol agents, who were woefully unprepared for an actual gunfight, fired at them with beanbags, the criminal illegal aliens returned fire, with AK-47’s, that had real bullets in the clips, killing Agent Brian Terry, age 40, almost instantly.

Good to see that Janet Napolitano Incompetano and her idiot boss in the White House are doing all they can to protect those who swore to protect America’s borders.

Have I ever told you that I vehemently detest this worthless, arrogant, incompetent, narcissistic, liberal, socialist scumbag POS who is occupying our White House?

And obviously, I realize that by calling attention to the incompetent America-hating scumbag in the Oval Office, I’ll be labeled a racist by liberal swine because if I point out what an imbecile Obama is, I’m only doing it because he’s Black. Well, half black.

Records show agents fired beanbags in fatal border gunfight

Border Patrol agents shot beanbags at a group of suspected bandits before the men returned fire during a confrontation in a remote canyon, killing agent Brian Terry with a single gunshot, records show.

And an illegal immigrant wounded in the gunbattle who is now the only person in custody linked to the slaying contends he never fired a shot, according to FBI search warrant requests filed in the U.S. District Court in Tucson.

The documents provide the most detailed version yet of what happened in the deadly gunbattle Dec. 14 in Peck Canyon, northwest of Nogales.

The documents say the group of illegal border entrants refused commands to drop their weapons after agents confronted them at about 11:15 p.m. Two agents fired beanbags at the migrants, who responded with gunfire. Two agents returned fire, one with a long gun and one with a pistol, but Terry was mortally wounded in the gunfight.

Border Patrol officials declined to answer questions about protocol for use of force, citing the ongoing investigation.

But Terry’s brother, Kent Terry, said the other agents who were there that night told him that they were instructed to use the non-lethal beanbags first. It’s a policy that doesn’t make sense to Kent Terry.

“You go up against a bandit crew that is carrying AKs, and you walk out there with guns loaded with beanbags – I don’t get it,” Terry said in a phone interview from Michigan. “It’s like going to the Iraqi war with one knife. It boggles my mind. … These guys (Border Patrol agents) are professionals; they should be able to use their judgment call on their own.”

On the night of the deadly encounter, agents were trying to apprehend at least five suspected illegal immigrants. One agent, using thermal binoculars, spotted two men carrying rifles. When the group came close, at least one agent identified himself as police and ordered the men to drop their weapons.

Here’s how the rest of the events are described in the FBI document:

“When the suspected aliens did not drop their weapons, two Border Patrol agents deployed ‘less than lethal’ beanbags at the suspected aliens. At this time, at least one of the suspected aliens fired at the Border Patrol agents. Two Border Patrol agents returned fire, one with his long gun and one with his pistol.
