R.I.P. Brother
Just saw this on FoxNewsLive, and they reported Agent Terry is a Prior Military Service member...
Just hope this sad tragic news never gets dismissed as commonplace, but fear that is how some Americans see it nowadays.:rolleyes:
And a special thanks to Our taxpayer funded government, for equipping our brave Border Patrol, and issuing statements of outrage and contempt when things like this occur:mad:!:(

Border Patrol Agent Killed in Southern Arizona
Published December 15, 2010

TUCSON, Ariz. -- A U.S. Border Patrol agent was gunned down after he encountered several suspects who were targeting illegal immigrants for robbery in southern Arizona, officials said Wednesday.
Agent Brian A. Terry, 40, was killed late Tuesday near Rio Rico, Ariz., according to a statement released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials.
At least four suspects are in custody and another is still being pursued.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Terry family for their tragic loss," CBP Commissioner Alan Bersin said in a statement. "Our commitment to Agent Terry and his family is that we will do everything possible to bring to justice those responsible for this despicable act."
The FBI and the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office are investigating Terry's death.
Terry, who was a member of CBP's special response team, grew up near Detroit and graduated from Flat Rock High School in 1988, according to the Arizona Republic.
KOLD-TV in Tucson reports the incident occurred just after 11 p.m. Tuesday in the Peck Canyon area north of Nogales.
The leader of a union representing Border Patrol agents said Terry was trying to catch bandits who target illegal immigrants for robbery.
National Border Patrol Council President T.J. Bonner said Terry was waiting with three other agents in a remote area north of Nogales when a gun battle began. A CBP spokesman would not confirm that account.
That area is a hot bed surprised we havent seen more death there.
RIP prayers to family and friends

Rest In God's Peace Agent Terry.
When the NG was sent down to the Border the first place they sent Us(was with the unit) it was down in that area, Talked to a BP agent that worked there and the stories he told would piss you off and really make you see how soft we really are down there..we will see a increase in this activity as it gets harder for them to smuggle drugs north.

Justice unseals indictment charging 5 in Brian Terry's death, offers $1M reward for leads on fugitives
By William La Jeunesse
Published July 09, 2012
FoxNews.com
The Justice Department on Monday unsealed an indictment charging five individuals allegedly involved in Border Patrol agent Brian Terry's death, and announced a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to the arrest of those suspects still at large.
For the first time, federal officials also revealed that Terry and an elite squad of federal agents initially fired bean bags -- not bullets -- at a heavily armed drug cartel crew in the mountains south of Tucson in December 2011. During the exchange, Terry was shot and killed.
The 11-count indictment, originally handed up by a grand jury in November 2011, implicates five defendants in the killing. A sixth suspect has also been charged in a related incident.
The two men in custody are Manuel Osario Arellanes -- who was wounded in the foot the night of the firefight -- and his brother Rito. Rito, who was arrested two nights before the Terry shooting, allegedly helped provide weapons to the criminal gang used in the shooting. All six men named in the indictment are either related or friends.
The other four are believed to be hiding out in Mexico, and the U.S. is now offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to their arrest.
The names of the four suspects were revealed Monday, and their pictures released, to the public. Police in the U.S. and in Mexico are cooperating and under intense pressure to find them.
The FBI says it has been actively searching for the outstanding fugitives.

Bordercop, thanks for the heads-up.

I believe we have an AG who has been found "in contempt of Congress" for not providing information regarding actions that led to this officers death.

Bean Bag rounds against a drug cartel- The pussification of America continues and our guys die. I have always said that liberals get more people killed than a hard nosed professional. The bad guys know they are dealing with someone who will not stand for nonsense, they know if they don't cooperate, things will go bad for them very quickly...
Mark46th's post remind me of a quote from Ben Franklin: "A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges."
