Guess today such men would be branded as "rogue cops" or "out-of-control killers" and served up as fodder for desk bound pencil pushers to investigate and attempt to charge with criminal leanings. Sad times.

Me? I'd walk through the depths with them knowing the devil is headed the opposite direction.

I used to read a loy of stuff by and of Bill Jordan but don't recall seeing how many shootings he was involved in. If I came accross any information I guess my brain didn't deem it necessary to record, could be I don't remember since I'm old as dirt - almost. I know he was in the Border Patrol during some turbulent times, not much different than now regarding smuggling.

I will let this one play out. A friend of mine on HPD had a partner back in the 60's and 70's that was involved in a lot of shootings and was constantly castigated by certain radical newspapers in Houston. Many were hijackings in progress or chasing the perps. He was even nicknamed by his peers and some of the rags discovered it and started identifying him by that name. I won't mention it here to protect the innocent as they used to say on "Dragnet". They were also shot at a lot.
