I started to type unpleasant things about the quality of cops in general.  But when cities, counties, and states are hiring anyone willing to work cheap...   

It won't be getting any better in the foreseeable future either.   

Illegal mexicans will likely be the choice candidate soon.

Illegal mexicans will likely be the choice candidate soon.   

According to DICK Durbin (D- IL), they can also be President.
After using illegal immigrants as props to push the DREAM Act, Sen. Durbin (D-IL) made the following statement at a Senate committee hearing:

"When I look around this room, I see America's future. Our doctors, our teachers, our nurses, our engineers, our scientists, our soldiers, our Congressman, our Senators and maybe our President."

To the OP:  Pretty open & shut case.  You just don't fire at people to defend (vacant) property that isn't yours.  Call the cops.  Take all the photos you can and be a good witness.
