Is the Border Patrol Out of Control?

There was the incident last week where Border Patrol agents chased a man for thirty miles before they shot him when they saw what turned out to be a pellet gun on his seat. And there’s this:

She pulled over. She answered the agent’s questions. But when she replied that, yes, she had weapons — two pistols in her glove compartment, for which she had a concealed-handgun license in her purse — the stop turned ugly, she said.

Agents ordered her out of her truck. They forced her to the ground. They held her for an hour, running gun checks and repeatedly searching her vehicle, before telling her she was free to leave, she said.

Two weeks later, it happened again. This time, Weaver said in an account disputed by the Border Patrol, an agent threatened to shoot her if she moved as they pulled her out of her truck.

It’s almost as though police agencies are at war with the citizens.
