In my verrrry red state, apparently the fact that the victim here turned out to be a Mexican drug smuggler is enough to excuse these agents of any sort of crime. Is the sentiment the same elsewhere?
I think these guys got off light with 10-year sentences and should have served every damn day.

You obviously don't know the details of this case very well Kevin. The shooting incident itself was justified, it was them picking up the casings and the subsequent "cover-up" that landed them in prison. And since they weren't pardoned, they are and convicted felons barring them from federal law enforcement employment.
