(Breitbart) - (LOCAL 2544) —
Apparently 18 USC 111 still only applies if an agent sustains serious injuries.
How many times has the AUSA asked “How badly is the agent injured?” when
presented with a case of impeding or assault on a federal officer?
No serious injury sustained by an
agent almost always = no prosecution. That has been a running joke for many
years (along with the ridiculous threshold amounts of dope to trigger a
prosecution).
So when dozens of “protesters”
impede, resist and otherwise interfere with Border Patrol agents and the
carrying out of our duties, what happens? Nothing. They get a little pepper
spray, they act like they have pulled off some heroic deed, they are attended
to by the fire department, they get their picture in the paper and they walk
away with no citations and no criminal charges.
And does that encourage further
lawlessness and put us in a bad position as we try to do our job? Absolutely.
It emboldens these types of people and puts us in danger. Impeding law
enforcement should be a serious no-no.
Protest some other way, but not by
interfering with an active enforcement operation and creating a dangerous
atmosphere where someone could be badly injured or killed. Why weren’t these
people arrested and charged?

Selective enforcement undermines the
rule of law. Our Federal government is leading the way to ensure that thugs go
free. The injured agent should take
legal action to restore the law.
