BP agent, facing assault charge, called people on border 'savages' and 'subhuman'

A Nogales Border Patrol agent — accused of running down a Guatemalan man and then lying about it — called people apprehended by agents "disgusting subhuman ****," and repeatedly used a racial epithet for border-crossers in text messages, court documents say. His attorney has said the language used by the agent is "commonplace" within Border Patrol, and it being presented in court would "prejudice" a jury.

Border Patrol Matthew Bowen is accused of assaulting Antolin Rolando Lopez-Aguilar, a 23-year-old Guatemalan man, by striking him with his Ford F-150 during an incident on Dec. 3, 2017 in Nogales, Ariz.

Bowen also faces a charge that he falsified records in a federal probe: "knowingly" doing so "with the intent to impede, obstruct, and influence" an investigation.

They say that such language is "commonplace" within the Border Patrol.

I remember a few years ago when some BP agents got all upset because the Pima County Sheriff's Department sent an investigator to a shooting that occurred in county jurisdiction. The BP agents shot an unarmed man in the back, and they were absolutely beside themselves and incredulous at the whole idea that a fatal shooting had to be investigated.

I have no doubt that many of these people think that if they had been Germans in the '30s, they would have opposed Hitler, too.

Sounds like a good reason to build the wall. Protect people from illegally entering the country and having to face the BP.
