In one text, Border Patrol Agent Matthew Bowen said, “PLEASE let us take the gloves off Trump!”

Racist text messages sent by an Arizona Border Patrol agent accused of having struck a Guatemalan man with a government vehicle could play a key role in seeing him convicted of federal charges, prosecutors said.

In another exchange, dated December 18, 2017, roughly two weeks after the vehicle attack, an unidentified person asked Bowen: "Did you gas hiscorpse or just use regular peanut oil while tazing?? For a frying effect." Chapman further argued that the terms used in Bowen's texts were "commonplace throughout the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector, that it was part of the agency's culture, and therefore said nothing about Mr. Bowen's mindset."

The December 3 incident reportedly took place at about 7:30 a.m., after a CBP camera operator in Nogales spotted a man who appeared to have jumped over a border fence near the Mariposa port of entry. However, federal prosecutors said that Bowen's text messages told a different story, with the Border Patrol agent allegedly telling Swartz that he had just given"a little push with a ford bumper" the day after the incident took place.

The inevitable consequence of 'leaders' who blame vulnerable minorities for the problems of society is violence against members of those groups by members of the 'preferred' majority

Wish we had a thousand more agents like this. Illegals probably stop invading.
