 Anderson is the guy who wishes the President's death. This guy just wants some attention. He'll surely get it sooner or later. He's racist,communist,and preaches terrorism.Let him suffer for his actions.

This man gives all Christians a bad name. Jesus never would have said something like that. He got what he deserved.

 I thought this guy was being unfairly treated until I heard his recent schtick on air. The guy is clearly trying to be an agitator. He got what he deserved.

There is no spot in this video where you were beaten. You received your cuts from being on the ground with broken glass - from getting the cuffs on and your fall to the ground from being tased. You refused to exit your vehicle and you resisted arrest - plain and simple. It's the law to obey an officer upon his request and you are no further above the law than anyone.  A police officer does not need to give you a reason that 'you will accept' in order to ask you to exit your vehicle. He has to have a reason, yes, which he gave. Any other driver/citizen would have received the same reaction from the officers who would act as you did.

It's pretty difficult to feel even the slightest bit of remorse for someone that speaks so much hate towards others. You say you didn't deserve to have your ass kicked, but what makes you think you have the right to say people should be put to death based on their way of life? Judge not lest ye be judge yourself. According to your little book all are equal in the eyes of god...

   I find it interesting that now mention is made that this occurred after Anderson had refused for about an hour to answer some simple questions and also refused to move his vehicle to allow others to pass through. It just so happened that he also had a video camera running. This guy had an agenda and provoked these officers, but will never admit his part in this incident.

   I find it interesting that all the footage has the critical persons JUST out of view or obscured. Either the tapes have been edited, or the cameras were set up ahead of time to only show certain angles and very few officers.

   The point here is that the pastor had not crossed an international border so why should he agree to a border search? Also US law states that he can refuse unless there is a warrant so if the result of a legal refusal is to get beat up by a bunch of Government goons then why not change the law to make it mandatory to submit to any request for a search without a warrant? In this case the officers involved should be charged with assault and battery.

   Steven I just want you to know it hurt me to watch them hurt you.

I will pray for them that they never do that to an American again.

   After watching the video, it's obvious the DPS officers had no basis to intervene. If the Border Patrol's K9 did indeed alert as the Border Patrol claim (and the DPS officer parroted without proof or first hand knowledge), the Border Patrol wouldn't have needed DPS's assistance or presence to take further action.

Rather, the Border Patrol clearly used the DPS to do the bulk of their dirty work for them while the state officers allowed themselves to be used by federal agents at a federal immigration checkpoint in which they were neither trained or certified to participate.

Playing the video slowly, frame by frame, you can see the DPS officer on the passenger side with a sadistic grin on his face just before he breaks the window, while he's breaking the window and after the window is broken and Anderson is being tasered.

The Border Patrol footage on the other hand shows that it was a Border Patrol agent who broke out the driver's side window with multiple hits from a baton while the DPS officer directed him off to the side.

Yep, state officers allowed themselves to be commandeered by federal agents who knew they had no lawful basis to search Anderson's car or continue the detention. If the K9 had indeed alerted, they wouldn't have had a problem with bringing it back out to show the DPS officers.

Additionally, they wouldn't have had a problem seeking a warrant from a judge. Of course, when an agent seeks a warrant, he must attest to probable cause under penalty of perjury which is why Border Patrol agents don't seek warrants in many cases. This allows them to lie regarding a K9 alert without perjuring themselves. After all, it's rather difficult to cross-examine a dog in a court of law....
