Two United States Customs inspectors have been charged with kidnapping
*   and beating someone they suspected was a drug dealer last year while
*   trying to rob him of cash and cocaine, Federal prosecutors said.
*   
*   Three men charged in all put on bullet-proof vests and police badges,
*   according to the complaint, and stopped the victim after identifying
*   themselves as Federal agents. The Federal agents then beat the man,
*   handcuffed him, forced him into their car and drove off, witnesses
*   said.
*   
*   The victim, whom Federal officials refuse to identify, dashed from the
*   car when it stopped at an intersection and persuaded a motorist to take
*   him to a police station.

Wow. People seeking sanctuary from Federal thugs in the local police station.

They thought the person had 220 pounds of cocaine.

A corrupt justice system from the U.S. Attorney General
all the way down to the lowest individual agents.

We're becoming more like Mexico every year.
