He was reportedly carrying a Border Patrol-issued pistol at the time of his arrest.

OK, so now even the Tecate police department has those annoying "alternating logos in a diagonal pattern" backdrops for their photo shoots.

[mark l.]

i thought Tecate was the sponsor of the mugshot.

pretty neat that they have them hold the gun for the pic.

hey, nothing like having a photo of a scary brown person holding a gun for your red meat constituency huh Riehl. Way to go.

[Person of little or no color]

Yeah Slide, he is scrawny and w/o the gun he wouldn't be that scary.

[Alex]

Slide, you are an idiot. Nothing more need be said.

[DaveinPhoenix]

Hey Slide:

Agent Robert Rosas had a wife and two small children. Maybe HE is the scary brown person to creeps like you, but he died honorably serving his country. What have YOU done for your country lately ? Yep, I didn't think so....

So, who did kill the border agent Slide? Some evil bad guy whitey? Race is all important to liberals until it's mentioned in a "bad" context. Just pretend that he won a spelling bee.

Yeah, you kind of have to wonder.

Breaking News....

At this morinings press conference President Obama stated that he didnt know the details of the situation but believes that the Mexican Police acted "stupidly" in their arrest of El Neto.

He also invited El Neto to the Whitehouse for a couple of beers with Crowley and Gates.

Now back to our regular scheduled programing....

A fellow American was killed while in the line of duty, he and his family deserve our respect in their time of grieving.

Could you please leave your dreadful identity politics in the sewer where you dwell instead of shoveling your crap all over decent, good-hearted Americans who face a tragic loss in their lives.

Please, give your hatred a rest; if not for your own good try at least doing it for great Americans, Officer Rosas, Jr and his family.

You scumbag guess who took the photo, sent it to news agencies..... brown people.

I do so love how, to liberals like Slide, people lose their minority status the instant they start enforcing the law against other minority members.

Let's advertise the fact that Barack Obama thinks illegal immigrants should be able to kill law-abiding American citizens who happen to also be Hispanic and that those citizens are racists for complaining.

Why does Barack Obama hate LEGAL immigrants and US citizens of Hispanic descent?

Hey slide, nice douchebaggery there.

I don't think Hell is bad enough for someone who would disgrace the memory of a husband and father to two young children and a devoted wife by trying (poorly I might add) to put people he does not agree with down at the expense of their loved one. I live in San Diego and I know first hand that his wife completely lost it when she had to view her husband's body. I imagine she loved him so much. I shudder that anyone in his family or his friends may come across this site and see a comment like you left. If you don't feel like scum right now, there is something wrong with you. You do not deserve to breathe the same air with a hero like Robert Rosas. You most certainly do not deserve to live in this country. Kharma is a big bi#ch you know, and I don't think you are going to like it much when it hits you, and it will.

[Slide]

BogusDem I don't need a lecture from the likes of you. Stop exploiting the death of the agent with your swarmy politics. Your Willie Horton redux doesn't honor anybody. It's exploitation plain and simple. Lou Dobbs would be proud of you all. I do agree with you in the hope that Rosas's widow doesn't come across this site to see how it was fodder for right wing politics.

[North Dallas Thirty]

The funny part is that Slide the Obama Party puppet is STILL trying to make excuses for why he supports illegal immigrants shooting and killing US citizens who happen to be Hispanic.

[BogusDems]

Slide, you are a slimbeball pure and simple. You dishonor this agent and his family. Nice try trying to spin, you must be a journalist. Trust me, Rosas' widow, family and friends will find your comments in pure bad taste...I know them. One of the guys he trained with is right here, he said your a disgusting pig. Nice try though. A$$hat. Your the one with politics on the brain, subhuman, typical liberal.

[Slide]

"I know them. One of the guys he trained with is right here, he said your a disgusting pig"

Do wingnuts have special DNA that causes them to lie compulsively or is it a learned trait?

[BogusDems]

I don't care if you think I am lying. I still put on the badge with the mourning band across it this morning and went out today to protect your right to be a douchebag. It is too bad your mother did a piss poor job raising you as she did not teach you respect or the knowledge of when to know what is and is not appropriate when you open your sorry mouth. Agent Rosas and his family, friends, yes my partner today was his classmate, do not need to read your opinions on the fact that you think the suspect of this murder is a victim. I am sure Mrs. Rosas would not agree, even though in your warped world you think she would. She would think of you as a typical limp-wristed sorry liberal who whines incessantly about how you do not want the Border Patrol to be able to do their jobs, and of course then whine again when an illegal alien destroys your property or crashes into your or a loved one's car because he was out driving drunk, wondering why the patrol did not do their jobs. I was actually kind this morning, as my partner said something about you much more disgusting than calling you a pig.

You can cry for the suspected murderer all you want. The man who died, that you have spit on, worked to help make sure you have the freedom to do so. I read through some of the posts, people were saying you said you are a cop? I would never allow you to back me up. I'm sure any law enforcement officer would say the same, you are nothing but a drain on taxpayers money. You are a traitor to the profession.

Intersting that he's holding a 9mm and the Border Patrol Agents are ALL issued H&K P2000s. That is NOT a P2000 in the photo. More misinformation!
