And that was a reasonable belief considering the smuggler was transporting over $1 million of drugs that day. And I am sure. of course. drug dealers with $1 million worth of drugs are not armed. Now. it is important to understand that only three individuals were eyewitnesses to the crucial events of that day. the two accused Border Patrol agents and a selfadmitted drug smuggler. Those are the only two people who saw what happened. The other Border Patrol agents who responded to the scene testified under immunity. and quite often contradicting themselves. however. the most important thing when thinking about their testimony is their view of the events was completely obscured by a levee at the road. which is about 12 feet higher than the road on which they stood. and about 8 feet higher from the spot on the other side of the levee where Ramos and Compean stood and where they fired their pistols. So let me make it very clear what I just said. None of the other agents could possibly have seen what transpired between Ramos and Compean and this drug smuggler. even if they climbed on top of their vehicles.
Identified stereotypes
Generalization that drug dealers with $1 million worth of drugs are always armed.
